GPU recommendations for EXP GDC dock

[DarrenKit]

I just my hands on a laptop from 2011. The specs are listed below

 

Model : hp pavilion g6 2301ax

Processor		AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M
Clock-speed		1.9 Ghz
Chipset		AMD A70M
Graphic Processor		AMD Radeon HD 7640G/7670M
Graphics Memory		2.5 GB

 

Can anyone give me recommendations what gpu shouid i pair with this cpu?

The EXP GDC is a miniPCIe to PCIe adapter to hack an external GPU onto something that wouldn't normally handle one.

Seems like a pretty horrible way to go about it but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.  Its going to be very limited though as that laptop is grossly underpowered for modern games, as is the PCIe x1 interface you'd have for the GPU.

Its does support PCI gen2. I could'nt find specs on offical amd site but did find this

according to it it does support PCI gen 2

What I meant was its PCIe Gen 2 x1 lane, so will still be bottlenecked to some degree.

I'm also seeing a few results online suggesting sometimes NVIDIA cards wont work on x1.

What exactly are you trying to run on it?

Can you post the link to the references you found and I am planning to run some compute like hashcat for password cracking

To be fair, it was just a random comment here

I just found this crappy video on youtube

 

This guy is using the Intel model of almost the same laptop and he manged to get gtx 750ti working with it. Do you think that they might have changed the pci lane allocation on the AMD version?

 

And i am not sure if his graphic card is bottlenecked by his CPU or by PCI lanes because he didn't show any benchmarks or in game FPS to know for sure,
