Laptop Gaming eGPU For Only $75! Full Guide

[@danielhulan3058]

Jason, you could always 3d print a cover for the pc that has a port for the oculink cable.

[@ericamerson9473]

My graphics card for my laptop has started to stutter a lot recently and I need a work around. I'm not very tech savvy so I'll probably end up watching this video quite a few times to put everything together.

[@OptiplexAircraft]

This would also be nice in SFF desktops that can't fit GPUs!

[@JasonWitmerYT]

perfect!

[@moaz5652]

Great and can we also use laptop display? if yes any fps drop?​@@JasonWitmerYT

[@Fekxyz-gr8hc]

absolutely not. 75$ for a gpu connector is dumb af

[@OptiplexAircraft]

@@Fekxyz-gr8hc 3050 6 GB was the same price of a 3060 when I posted this dude, it was worth it then. And even now a 1080 Ti would still do better for the same price.

Dude! I got a dell precision 5520, i7-7820HQ with Thunderbolt 3 .. i hope you can run an egpu experiment with the same unit... Awesome content! I'm subscribing for this!

[@GhostGamer799]

It would work but not as thunderbolt 4 you will not get a performance like it but you will have a better GPU power more then the Intel UHD

[@Wolf_Power2020]

I need a USB-C compatiable port :(

[@JamieR]

Could be fun to make a custom wooden chassis for the eGPU and PSU. Seems like a perfect eGPU to use with the Framework laptop. If they have an oculinik module (which I'm assuming they do have). Thanks for sharing this!

[@RobloxianX]

Planning to use an eGPU with my Dell XPS 15 9510. It has an i9-11900H with 8 Performance cores, so I think the CPU wont be a bottleneck. I'm planning to get the RTX 5070 when that releases in Early 2025.

[@zikvit6795]

I haven't bought it, but I'm planning to. My question is, will the monitor work in a notebook through m2.

[@ElionildoMiranda]

Dude, Did you forget to tell me how to turn it on, i.e. should I turn on GPU First or MiniPC, laptop, PC? And what happens if I turn it on in reverse order, will it bring problems to the GPU? Thanks for the video.

[@JasonWitmerYT]

It should be set to automatically turn on - if not, there's a switch on it. You won't bring problems if you turn on one or the other, it's no problem. Thanks for watching!

[@ElionildoMiranda]

@@JasonWitmerYT thank you.

[@ElionildoMiranda]

@@JasonWitmerYT I bought this OCULINK, but my graphics won't turn on, nor will the power supply fan. I didn't see anything where to turn on manually, this product does not come with an instruction manual.

[@anthonylipke7754]

Should be an extension cable you can permanently mount. I wonder if there's any mxm adapters and relevant laptops. Other problem on a laptop is what display input are you using that isn't eating more limited bandwidth?

[@pandassudsnshine4125]

If your powering only the gpu why plug in the cpu cable from the psu?

[@JasonWitmerYT]

Idk, I just did it and it worked, but the cpu cable probably doesn't need to be plugged in.

[@ilikealmondss]

Also, could you tell me what is your opinion on the mars gaming mcn2 case?

[@juliusmattos7483]

I got the M.2 M-Key to PCIe 4.0x4 External Graphics Card Stand Bracket, which I'm planning to use with a 7900 XTX GPU. I also purchased an 850W power supply, anticipating future upgrades. I followed your instructions and connected all the cables correctly. The GPU has three PCIe power connections. The power supply came with two PCIe cables, each with a split connector. So, I connected one cable directly to the GPU, used the split (ponytail) for the second connection, and connected the other cable directly for the third connection. However, when I power it on, I hear the power supply click as if it's drawing power, but nothing else happens. The power supply fan doesn't spin, and the GPU doesn't power on either. I initially thought the power supply might be defective, so I tried another 850W unit, but the same thing happened-just a click, and then nothing. Could you help me figure out what I might be doing wrong? Do I need to use a specific GPU cable or connect to the max 180W on the bracket?

[@JasonWitmerYT]

I recommend contacting the vendor, they will be able to help you out. There's a switch on the lane you might need to turn on.

[@pogo6543211111111]

hey julius did you find a laptop with the proper ports ? if yes which one is it ?

[@Kratos_521]

I used your link to buy windows 10 pro, was a bit skeptical but thought what the hell it may work, and it did! I got the key instantly and your discount code worked too! I activated my windows immediately. I had 2 questions though, 1) I see ms office on here too, is the key a one-time buy? No subscriptions and lifetime product? 2) My windows is also activated permanently yeah? Thank You!

Just google for Office -> The 365 is the abo version, and there is always one with a Year -> Latest Office 2024 A Windows Licence is bound to your Mainboard. So as long as you don't change your Mainboard, the licence will be permanent

If you run a PCIe 4.0x16 GPU on PCIe 4.0x4, you might lose 7-10% on fps. It is the same as if you ran a PCIe 4.0x8 GPU on PCIe 3.0.

I don't think your mums old laptop would have a nvme slot.

[@suger_free_]

Pls test everything with cities skylines 2 as well

[@marknikolich6986]

Thats called a PCI-E "Slot or Port" not Lane, the slot contains 4 lanes to be precise but the slot is a 16 lane slot but electrically only 4 are wired. I'm sorry but hearing lane every time instead of slot, it actually is bothers me. Especially since hearing lane makes it sound like there is only one lane available, which is incorrect. Also you bent the crap out of the Oculink cable, you are supposed to not use large bends in that so the wiring doesn't get damaged. since the frequency the data runs through that is sensitive to issues with the cable, especially the length even.

This is sick! I had no idea nvme to occulink was possible. I wonder how this compares to usb4? Occulink as a standard is better for sure, but idk how much performance you lose through this config.

[@JasonWitmerYT]

I got much better results from this compared to USB4 - mostly in the 1% lows (so guessing theres less stutters) Apparently a direct oculink to oculink connection is the absolute GOAT when it comes to performance though.

[@dtectatl1]

@JasonWitmerYT Yeah, that's a fact, occulink is the underared goat. Now I just wish my Legion Go had a second nvme slot.

[@respectmathias]

*HOW TO GET TB3/4/USB4* If you really want a proper Usb4 experience with the full 40 Gbps you can use an m.2 to usb4 enclosure (works with tb) you just need to make sure it uses the ASM2464PD. As for why that controller, it is because older tb controllers can only utilize 32 of the 40 Gbps. Q&A But won't it introduce too much latency? If your oculink cable is short then it should have a near ut3g experience as PCIe to oculink to m.2 is all PCI express speeds and the controller intruduces as much latency as the ut3g TL;DR negligible The only issue with such a setup is due to the amount of components involved and it being Chinese, the likelihood of a broken component is higher than if you got a single board like the ut3g Advantages: flexibility, since it goes from 64 Gbps to 40 Gbps in the future you can get another controller when one for tb5 comes out and fully utilize the 64. Disclaimer: I did not discover this some dude on reddit did Personnally I would rather get something pre-built instead of a DIY setup like the aoostar ag02 that like this setup supports both oculink and Usb4 with the ASM2464PD, but sadly it is sold out

You better do another 200 usd budget pc that isn't on the x79 platform, (use an h61 or sum) xeon has gotten boring

[@JasonWitmerYT]

H61 is more expensive, and worse performance. $200 PC is very difficult to do without x79 or x99, unfortunately. $300 PC is possible, but $200 I'd argue that unless you find some insane local deals, it pretty much should be x99
