Will it bottleneck?

Will i3 m 330 (4 cores) bottleneck GT 710? This is for an EGPU for my old laptop.

Thanks.

Forgot to mention why do I need to know this.

[Takt1kal]

And currently I have intel hd graphics media accelerator.

That's a lot of money for a really naff CPU/GPU

I'm just not sure about should I get an EGPU cuz i needa buy a power supply for it too. (and I have low experience in this field)

For low end CPU and GPU, don't consider any bottlenecks, just get the best hardware you can with your budget.

Are you even certain the laptop will support an eGPU? Those are fairly recent developments, and that's a really old laptop.

If it's not compatible, I'll just return the GPU, lol

[Takt1kal]

So do you need a usb c port for EGPU, if it is then I'll buy a converter.

how would you plug it in? we can probably tell you before you even have to try

ah, no it won't work*

 

*it MAY work, as in you might get a display out and all, but it'll be bad for anything else

[Takt1kal]

Guess I'll get a converter for usb C? Will that work?

Um, idk, with usb? I've got a Hdmi port but its output.

short answer is no

 

long answer is a maybe, but the hassle you'll have to go through to make it work is probably not worth it

i have never attempted this before, i only know that there are ways to plug in PCIE cards to USB, but the latency and bandwidth is so bad that it's not worth considering (might even kill a board)

 

USB -> NVME -> full size PCIE (with external power because god bless if you're trying to power the gpu from the usb slot)

 

there's a high chance your laptop might be damaged in the process too, so take note of that

[Takt1kal]

oof, Thanks for that answer, might have taken a while to type.

[Takt1kal]

I have a non-UEFI board, idk will it work.
