Hi I have a Toshiba satellite L855-188 laptop and I want to buy a exp gdc pcie mini version and put a gtx 1060 on it how much performance loss will I experience and additional question is it even worth it                                                                thanks

the maximum speed you can hope for would be 4x on the PCIe, think that would impact the performance tbh so id probably go for a 1050TI. either way i might also be compleatly wrong with that too. you have a pretty decent laptop CPU in that so you could probably expect quite a nice performance bump but seeing as the screen is 768p a 1060 would be overkill AF, because you will be maxing everything i can think off with a 1050 at that resolution lol

where would you even connect an external gpu to? your laptop doesnt even have thunderbolt 

and miniPCIe is inside your laptop - you would not be able to close your laptop with an adapter like that

I have two backplates  so one will have a cut in it so I can have the cable going through it and I would be going somewhere I would disconnect the cable and put on the second backplate so it wouldn't have a hole in it

yah, the 1060 would perform noticably better at 1080p

Depends on the load, you'd loose about 25% in worst case scenario. Search for youtube videos and you'll see 4X PCI effects. It's not that bad to be honest.

Worth it? IMHO No. It's just to much of a frankestein. Buy a proper Desktop PC or lower your expectation of high performance.

I don't have money for a good gaming PC and the laptop is actually pretty good its just the GPU that's bringing down my performance and I only play 1080p on a monitor so it should be grand
