EGPU help

[isaiahDAruler]

Hello everybody, i'm in need of assistance with getting my eGPU setup working ill list stuff i already tried, the hardware and software versions i'm using and my issue below:

 

The issue im expiriencing is the Error code 12 (Not enough system resources.)

I understand that there are 2 options.

 

1.) First being i use a DSDT override to expand the root bridge into a 36 bit space and blah blah blah.

 

2.) And second to use setup 1.x and do the compaction thing that program does. Problem here is that the maker of this wants $25 for it and i really wanna avoid buying more.

 

I have tried the DSDT override (Here) with what i can see is success. It added the Large memory section like it should have,

however it did not fix my issues with the eGPU. At the end of that guide i have attempted all the troubleshooting except getting setup 1.x.

 

I am not in a position as of now to build a rig so please do not suggest that, and in the description for my eGPU adapter it was supposed to be compatible with my system and the GPU i have here.

 

The system is an HP EliteBook 8440P

it has:

Intel core i5 540M @ 2.5 GHz

8 GB of DDR3 Memory

Windows 7 Pro SP 1 64-Bit

Intel HD graphics

 

eGPU setup is:

EXP GDC Beast from BangGood.com

with a Zotac GT740 2 GB DDR3 128-Bit GPU

 

As an extra note that i'm not sure will be of any help to you, my setup does work with 2 GB of ram. However for games and alike i cannot just sacrifice 3/4 of my ram for better graphics. 

 

Anything that may help me is welcome, and i thank you all for reading this and really really thankful for you people who take their time to help me with this setup.

@Firearm2112 did an egpu with thunderbolt on a macbook. 

What does the dock thingy connect to. Is it usb 3?

I have no experience with egpus.

 

You are plugging it into a monitor, aren't you?

Thanks for quoting me.

 

Are you using Windows 7? This problem rarely happens in Windows 8.1, and upgrading to Windows 8.1 should solve this

As in the post i have win 7 pro 64 bit.

Also as i said in the post, i do not wanna spend more money. Do you know any ways to troubleshoot my current setup and get this up and running?

Okay so i got everything working. Now my issue is with some games and this setup.

Games are (so far) :

- Arma 3 (Arma 2 works fine)

- Heroes and Generals

- Dayz

------------------------------------

Here is what happens:

When opening the game with arma 3 or dayz it freezes up and Blue screens my system. I can run these games on the on-board graphics with playable framerates (have been for awhile) but i would love to increase the graphics settings with this setup.

 

With Heroes and Generals i can play it VERY LOW FPS and its not fun so i would like it for this but it crashes as well.

 

 

On the up side with this setup it improved performance in other games like H1Z1 for example is now playable on med-high settings with 50 frames compared to the old Low settings at barely 15.
