eGPU

[Therry472]

I have a pretty good laptop for 3D design.

Intel Core i9 9880H

64GB RAM

2TB SSD

Nvidia Quaddro P2000 4GB

 

The quaddro isn't really designed for gaming.

Can i use an eGPU (External GPU) as a boost for gaming?

Which eGPU do you recommend?

You can't game on P2000?

 

It should be able to run anything on low settings, even some demanding games I think.

 

Unless you want lot of fps. Or higher details.

I know, but when i add some mods and assets in cities skylines it lags massively.

I don't think it's anything other than the P2000

Can you turn down the visual quality and regain some performance in CS?

i could, but it would be nice to play of high graphics.

Thats just cities skylines. Big chance that dropping settings barely improves fps.

 

For the egpu part you are bottlnecked by the thunderbolt limit which is basically a weaker pce 3.0 x4 link. Which basically a gtx 1060 already maxes out easily and a 1060 is maybe 30% faster than your p2000. So that would be 5-600$ for a 30% performance increase which is not worth it really. You'd actually be better of just selling the laptop and buying a new one. A laptop like yours (sounds like a lenovo p52) goes for 1200$ on ebay easily still often more and getting a lenovo legion 5 with a 3070 is 1500$.
