Searching for (cheap) Gaming Notebook with Nvidia RTX Technology

[Gandalf1783]

Hey there,

first of all im German so please be patient with me, cause my english isnt that good...

 

So i currently i habe an Acer E1-572G, but the AMD R7 M265 Graphics Card sucks. I get only 15-20 FPS in Minecraft with a Shader. (tested with KUDA Shader Medium).

 

I searched a little bit, is there any possibility to repair the graphics card (i dont think so cause some guys said it would be soldered in) or to extend it? (Like an external GPU running from PCIE slot). The only PCIe Slot is taken by the wireless LAN card. I don’t mind if its missing or not.

 

Is it worth to upgrade the current Notebook or should I buy a new one? Thanks

If you didn't mention it I wouldn't have known. Also:

 

 

unfortunately, to your question, a repair or replacement via external graphics won't be feasible. A new notebook is my recommendation.

No. It would be a pain to have an external GPU (it would have to go through mini-PCIe), and even if you could deal with the cable mess, janky setup, and slow PCIe performance, your CPU is too slow for basically anything faster than your current iGPU.

 

I would just replace the laptop if you can. Look at a used Thinkpad.

Okay thanks for your advice.
