Hi, well, here's the catch, I have a laptop with an A10-8700p, with integrated graphics, I am planing on buying an egpu dock like this one:

What i would like to know is what could be the ideal graphics card to pair it with, considering it would lose some performance, also, what would be the ideal one to play on a 1080p monitor, and wich one to play on 1366x768?

it may not work the first time, and the best cards to pick for that resolution would be a cheap GTX 950, GTX 750TI, GTX 660. Both resolutions. Nvidia cards are preferred for eGPU as they run at PCI-E 2.0 x1 with compression, which makes it significantly better.

idk

Doesn't seem like it'll work very well since it's only x1...

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
