EGPU on laptop

[Daniel J.]

Hello,  i need a small help.

My laptop is HP Pavilion x360 s13-000nc.

Gaming performance is very bad. I3-5010U Intel 5500 4GB ram.

Is there any choice to upgrade it? I think about eGPU - but i dont have expresscard, thunderbolt and i dont know how to open the back (i tried it),so i cant use minipcie.

I found a transfer conector expresscard to usb but i dont think that is a good idea.

You will need a high bandwith port in order to get a gpu running. Without accessing minipcie i wont work i think. You cant run it over USB 3 bud.

Pretty sure that is not doable with any reason able result at least. With that laptop your stuck with iGPU.

Yeah, I wouldn't spend that cash. You have an i3 U-series CPU, meaning that you have a low-clock speed dual core with hyperthreading. That's not really ideal for gaming. An external GPU will help a bit, but it will soon be bottlenecked by your CPU. I'd advise a second machine if you really want to game.

eGPU without NGFF m.2, PCI-e, MPCI-e, Thunderbolt or EC is impossible. USB to EC uses only the USB header from the EC port, not the PCI-e contacts. you're best off selling the machine and then buying a new one suitable for eGPU. Something like a HP 2570p, or X230/40.
