EGPU question

[Krystof203PhoneAccc]

If I connect EGPU using USB, will I be able to connect another monitor to EGPU using VGA? Does it work the same way as for normal GPU?

[jaslion]

Egpu does not and can not work via usb

[dinkostinko]

you should be able to connect another monitor to the back of the EGPU, but what you will be able to display on it will be dependent on the USB port on your computer.  assuming you're using thunderbolt with an EGPU, you could probably get away with it.

I thought it could work thru USB, but since I learned it does not, so I came up with another solution, is it possible 1X PCIE slot for EGPU?

I am going to build DIY EGPU and in the pcie riser the usb to 1x PCIE is included so that is pretty much my only solution if it's possible

1x? Even on pcie gen 4 that would only be 64gb/s bandwidth from the gpu to the mobo lane

So it will be a few times slower?

How are you planning to use this? To speed up an old laptop or to use with a desktop?

I want secondary gpu but I have office PC, I can only use LP. And I went for used GPUs and none were LP so I came up with idea to make DIY EGPU

I'd just get a Low profile 1650

Yeah but here comes the funny part, we got only one 3rd party shop in the entire country that has offers usually made of extremly expensive high end GPUs, and there is litteraly no LP offer, before you mention Ebay, Nope, that shipping is extremly expensive. Anyways back to the topic, what impact will it have on my GPU if I use 1x pcie?

Well, if your not gaming then it's alright. But if its anything intensive on the gpu it'll struggle. Probably not too much if its a low end gpu but it'll still struggle. Even if its pcie 4.0 (which it'll have to be for a decent gaming experience)

 

Also what's that one shop?

Aukro.cz intended for general purchases of any used stuff

Also the GPU is RX 580, and yep I am doing gaming and sometimes lightweight crypto mining, so I am screwed.

I mean yeah there are some low profiles but these things are acient

Oh so you already have the gpu?

Do you think you could do two lanes? or DIY even more?

Yeah I think I could do that, there are so many parts invented that I think there will be something for it

Also btw you could probs just use a pcie express riser

That's what I am using exactly, it comes with USB cable and usb to 1X PCIE

Well I do not think you got it, My GPU IN PC is GTX 1050 OC LP but IN EGPU DOCK it's going to be RX 580

Something like this but just a 1x slot? PCI-Express Riser, redukce PCIe x1 na PCIe x16, mining, těžba | Aukro

Let's not extend this and do a quick summary, the card will be 16 times worse?

Or worse, because the  riser you’re talking about isn’t designed for what you’re trying to do. It’s a crypto mining riser and will likely not do true PCIE 3.0 1x speeds but 2.0 or even 1.1 1x speeds. Additionally, it will not provide sufficient power for any card that tries to draw power from the PCIE  connection itself.

And what if I bought PCIE extender instead and from the PSU I wanted to use for egpu I will plug the 8 pin cable? Or is that a fire hazard?
