EGPU in 2020: All the answers to your questions

Ever since I posted videos testing and successfully getting an EGPU setup to work, I've been receiving all sorts of questions from other people trying to get EGPU working for them. Instead of answering these questions one by one, I'm answering them here in this video. I apologize that this reply has come out so late.

I bought an EGPU for my main driver, because I have four monitors and I don't feel like driving monitors through usb3 slots... I like the EGPU setup. Its THE BEST for a gaming professional on the go!

Hello! I see a lot of people doing eGPU on YouTube and they don’t say anything about BIOS whitelist. Is there any chance that some old computers, but not that old, something like 2012 released ones, won’t need patches on BIOS? In my case, i have a Lenovo g400s.

I have a GTX 1070 plugged it in though the express slot, got the drivers, restart and got no post. I have a HP 625 from 2011, PLEASE HELP!

@Magmafire so my 8560w gpu died, its an nvidia quadro m2000m and i wanna use it mainly with external gpu only, can i do that? i just want it to work man even with external display

[eduardoarmond]

[dionte]

Hey is it possible to do the same thing if use a usb to express card reader?

Help, my laptop Lenovo Ideapad 310-15klb not working with egpu. Is this in whitelist?

Dude watch my vids. Rtx 2070 super, dell e6520 i7 2760qm, PCIE 2x16. You turn the psu on first then the laptop. PCIE 1x is not the only option nandos software opens 2x. You can use expresscard if you have a manufacturer’s lock on the bios. PCIE 2x is night and day from 1x as far as performance.

I game in 4K with ray tracing and 1080p in warzone with ray tracing. Never say never it’s always a workaround

Hi, I have a question.
I have an asus laptop whit an i7 9gen, and a gtx 1650, I want to buy the new RTX 3070 to play vr games.
I want to put a connector from my nvme mother board to an 50 dollar connector to the gpu. Can I do it?
Is my computer support the gpu?
(I don’t have a thunderbolt 3, is that why I want to do that)

Is it possible to connect an egpu via M.2 Ssd slot? I have a laptop with 2 extra m2 ssd slots so I was wondering.

[neosrt]

Can you boot from a egpu with on a laptop with a bad gpu..

[BocadeporcoDoVerdao]

Has anybody made a EGPU for a DELL 3060 SFF?

[wewel]

I have a T420 with i5-2540m and 12GB ram. It has expresscard slot and i was planning to get 1. My friend is selling a RX 480 8gb for a really low price (friend discount). Is it worth it to get that or should i find cheaper and lower spec card? maybe a GTX 660?

Also, is true that NVIDIA graphics card are more compatible with eGPU due to its pci compression? thank you

[googleteamrecovery]
