eGPU Advice

[doesnotexist]

I want to play some games , as i already have a laptop it would save me a couple of bucks to use egpu instead buying a new gaming pc , i have seen some youtube videos of people using this eGPU adapter , but i am not sure if this eGPU adapter is compatible with my laptop , there is no technical support from the seller and return process will be trouble ,

So any advice , should i go for it ?

Anyone with similar setup , confirm if it works or not ?

My laptop is 6 years old HP Pavilion g6-2201ax Notebook PC , it was a launch product for Microsoft's new os Windows 8 , I have upgraded to Windows 10 , 8 GB ram and 240 GB SSD .

Mini-PCIe slots on laptops have a single lane and it's likely at best PCIe 2.0. So most GPUs are likely going to be severely hampered by performance due to the restricted bandwidth.

 

The laptop in Linus's video used an M.2 slot capable of delivering PCIe 3.0 x4.

I know the bottleneck it will have due to bandwidth , but i have a 720p monitor , at that resolution , it does not need much bandwidth. I want to know if its compatible .
