How are you gonna put an external gpu on your laptop?

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

Quote

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

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.

Maybe he has one of those external GPU adapters that work with Thunderbolt (e.g. Razer Core)... But I doubt OP's laptop is compatible with that since the CPU is 4th gen, meaning it is already a few years old...

Yeah that's my point. It has a 4th gen CPU, and no laptop outside of a Mac has thunderbolt and a 4th gen cpu

1) Let it go.
2) 1050Ti is as high as i'd go with that CPU. 

3) Seriously, let it go.

Realistic speaking to avoid bottlenecking with an i3 4005u he'd have to go with a GT 1030 and even so it might not always max out the GPU, that is a terribly under-powered processor.

Get something very small like the GT 1030, or it won't even get enough power from it (and bottlenecks).

I still don't think it's worth and you should save money to buy a low-end rig.
