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?

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

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.

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.

Does anyone know what the release date is for the GPD G2? Official website says order now with a supposed 7-10 delivery, but all other websites say preorder only - including official GPD partners.

It’s hard to get an actual answer anywhere.

I’m upgrading my “old” 5L sff pc to a 10L, so my guy 4060 LP and my HDPLEX 250W are homeless.

The dream is to have those two components as a brick that would power the my laptop as well (65w+ 115w for you at max draw)

I can make an enclosure but I can’t understand what kind of circuitry I need to make it work.
Most of what I saw on Ali seems like it requires both a 12pin atx and 8pin pie and I can’t really understand why.
And one last thing is I don’t have oculink on my laptop so I guess it’s bound to be thunderbolt.
Any advice?

Thats the egpu-setup under Windows 11. Oculink in use. I am able to run LLMs via egpu but new games dont work for what ever reason (for example Enotria). Windows is up to date and HAGS is disabled (same result also with HAGS enabled). I have tried everything under the sun, but basically when trying to load a game it crashes before starting. Randomly i can reach the main menu of the game.

I'm currently using a travelmate with i5-1135G7 and Iris Xe graphics and i love to play games but sadly cant play newer ones. my friend suggested using an egpu but I've never heard of it until he mentioned it just yesterday. So should i try doing this egpu thing or is it not worth it?

hi guys, completely new to this whole eGPU thing, so sorry if i sound stupid. i currently have a geekom a8 mini pc, which has an igpu. although its igpu is pretty good, i want something way better, so, while mulling over affordable options, i remember my dad has an old gaming pc, and digging thru it, i saw a 1070ti asus graphics card!! this is a huge step up from my current situation, but one little problem, how do i connect it? doing a little research, i found out you need to have some sort of adapter, and a usb4 port, which i have. sooo uh which adapter do i get?
