pcie x1 isn't worth it 

 

the issue here is that we don't know how much memory is assigned to the PCIe ports, if there is a whitelist, etc, etc. you circumvent some of these with business laptops that support this, but with your computer it wouldn't likely have these

Hi everyone. I am planning to build an egpu for my Lenovo edge 2. I found this  mPCIe board online.

Will it work?

If not, please specify one that will.

 I live in India, so, making sure that it is account here will be appreciated.

i guess it will technically work, but it's tons of hassle for little gain.

Is there any other way to boost my laptop's graphics?
