eGPU DIY Solution

[Najeeb Ullah Qadir]

Hi

So I have This laptop with specs as follows,

 

i5-3210m 2.5GHz - 3.1GHz Turbo

 

AMD Radeon 7670m 1GB

8GB 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM

500GB 5400rpm HDD Seagate

 

Basicly Its an 

HP Pavillion g6 2132se Laptop (NOT FOR GAMING) But I got it for that Purpose anyway 2 YEARS ago

 

(I cant game very wellon this now i got AC unity didnt even bother to run on this)

 

 

Now there is a new thing in Markets called The eGPU or external GPUs 

 

My Question is that Will it work with my system regardless that I remove the wifi adapter to put in the MPCIE Connector

what will be most well suited GFX card and what resolution Monitor I should get was thinking of a 900p one

 

or should I do this at all or NOT 

 

Thank you

and OK I WILL GET A 1080p Monitor

Thank You

I really didn't understand that.

I would not recommend an egpu set up.

I would recommend something else.

What is your budget?

What is your budget?

I said 1080p if you get egpu,u don't want 900p.

Now, why I don't recommend egpu.

It's very difficult, you need to know what you are going.

It's expensive.

It doesn't work 100%

country and currency?

maximum budget?

 

if things work out well you'll have alaptop and a mid range gaming desktop. best of both worlds.

eGPUs are extremely hard to setup, i second that.

[BurgerBum]

it'd be much easier to just build a seperate pc, and have the laptop still be garunteed to work.

OK Difficult is not a problem but Cash somewhat is and I can not buy a new Desktop or even change the Laptop but with a few Savings I thaught of getting an r9-270 GPU as its Good and doesn't Bottleneck my CPU even though my CPU will Bottleneck that Card

[iPhoenix]

eGPUs have been known to be driver limited by AMD/NVIDIA.  They require some firmware/software tricks to get working. 

 

We tried this once and had to abandon it after 3 days of trying.

it really is better to just do what im doing, and build a separate machine.

eGPUs are no garuntee. and you could eriously mess your laptop up with it.

I Live in UAE and things ike eGPUs are Hard to find here I will have to get it ordered from Amazon and I have a Few Ideas of setting it up and I can spare a mPCI slot in my laptop 

Budget is that i can get me a r9 270 GPU and a PSU for that and hook it up to my TV and Game NOT caring much About display latency and Refresh rates if it fells chopy ill get a monitor 

 

There is also a big second Hand PC part Mall type thing here and I have 1500 AED makes around 410 USD

410 USD you can build a pretty good desktop, just gotta be a sale shark like i am. B)

i got a C2Q q8200 for 15$ USD and my 270x (really a7870 ghz) for 100$. 

 

if you head onto the hot deals thread pool, check around on ebay and amazon, ect, you can get good parts for cheap.

[mrmonmon2]

if you want to get a 900p monitor for cheap, do it but get at least a 17 inch, or larger if you can, 17 inch is beautiful but 20 would be a bit easier to see farther objects in game, that way you can save to get a good build, or use your tv as a monitor.

 

Sources: im infront of 3 16:10 900p 17 inch monitors right now, they have better pixel density than a 27 inch 1080p

i love smaller sized surround estups, still badass and you can lower the resolution and get better FPS without losing buety. :F

[mrmonmon2]

@BurgerBum

at this resolution the 770 has no trouble running anything but bf4 and metro ll, which get settings lowered a little bit, to medium high, or I go back to one monitor, so no need to lower resolution :D

Dear Good Kind Sir I know but I live in UAE not USA so noebay and amazon here and also these parts are really not available here and even if they are they have prices that are well above there actual ones on amazon as i know i  follow amazon almost daily (for no use)  EVERY THING OVER PRICED AND HIGHLY RARE HERE nothing comes cheap when you live in an ARAB country

stock cooler is enough for a mild over clock. (and i do mean mild, but everyone feels a little different about temps)

the 260x is good for the money, there are better values but not in this price range unless you find a deal somwhere.
