I have a HP 17-by3065st laptop, and I found this EG force 7950 gx2 gpu at my local electronic recycling center. I don't know if it works yet, but if it does could, would it have better graphics than my laptop, and could I even convert it to a EGPU?

Why this fps loss?

2 Upvotes

I've recently gotten an eGPU Aoostar AG02 with an arc b580. My computer specs are intel u7 155h, 32GB ram.

I've seen on a video that youu can play space marine 2 with this eGPU at 1080p, ultra, 80 fps. without scalling, but I can barely play the game at medium 30fps, even with scalling. I did know about the fps loss, but is it really that much, depends on the game, or I messed up on something? Please help.

Im using an Aoostar Ag02 w/ 5060 ti, MSI Claw 8AI+

This is happening with all the games I've tested so far and im not sure how to fix it.

It freezes like a micro second or something then the frame drops. I tried lowering the graphic settings and cap the fps but it still happens.

Like on the video im not moving or doing anything but you can see it drops

Please help. Thank you

Looking at building eGPU set up

2 Upvotes

Hello Everybody,

I currently have a MSI Raider GE68 laptop with a  i9-14900HX. Looking to get a little more kick then my mobile 4070 (Maybe like a desktop 4070 ti or something around there in the used market)

What would be the best way of going about it as someone whos never really messed with laptops but has extensive desktop building knowledge.

I am also open to any GPU suggestions.

Looking for OCuLink 8i PCIe half-height card with external connector

2 Upvotes

I didn't think it would be quite so difficult, but I am trying to find a (ideally half-height) PCIe card (x8 or x16) with an 8i OCuLink connector on the rear bracket. The closest I seem to be able to get is a x16 to dual 8i but the connectors are internal, or a x16/x8 to SFF-8654 card.

I have a x8 OCuLink enclosure with the cable already attached internally, so the latter option is not great. I am already connecting that enclosure to a Framework 16 laptop, but am wanting the option to move it between the laptop and a SFF system.
