Depends though. If you want something that can be beefy like a desktop but still move with you, as well as being cost efficient giving you more room in a budget for better upgrades, then i highgly recommend taking an old laptop and upgrading it. If you want to use a bigger monitor just use a HDMI (If your laptop isnt too old to not have one) I was considering building a PC from scratch but it would have been around £600 and knowing i can upgrade my already good laptop for cheaper and get the same gaming capabilities out of it is a no brainer. Good thing about this is you can easily remove the upgrades to move into a PC build. Easy!

[@asmcint]

The problem is, most people who want to run an external graphics card on a laptop on the cheap have a really cheap laptop too. That means no NVMe, and usually the highest-bandwidth port you'll find is USB 3.0. So a solution like this, while fascinating, only serves a very specific niche of people who somehow spent a decent chunk of change without getting a dedicated card internally.

[@hunterm9]

asmcint I use an eGPU because I want an ultra portable laptop, but also don't want to spend more money+room on a desktop, as well as having to deal with two systems.

[@tjeulink]

you can plug an version of this into mini-pcie which is on virtually any laptop.

[@asmcint]

Mini-PCIe also requires you to open the laptop, which significantly hinders the convenience factor of such a product. And as Linus mentions in the video, most laptops only have one such slot, which is often taken up by some form of networking device, usually WiFi, which most would consider essential.

[@tjeulink]

a lot of laptops have 2 minipci slots, and if they don't: thats why usb dongles exist. opening up your laptop isn't hard, it just takes time and you only have to do it once. this isn't designed for new laptops like the one he tried to use, this is designed for laptops that are 10 years old.

[@oldschoolmobile]

He basically threw in the towel. It's just not feasible for such a big piece of dedicated hardware to be compatible with a laptop. I still think the eGPU enclosure is a viable solution honestly. My laptop has a RTX 2060 and 32GB ram. It's plenty enough for high/ultra 1080p gaming and 4k/multi monitor productivity. But if I wanted to bump up the muscle to run at a higher resolution, then the eGPU would be the ticket, until I built a proper mini tower. The best part is that since you have to buy the gpu for a gaming rig anyways, that's one less thing you have to worry with.

These are sick and work really well, and even come in various varieties including mini PCI-E, M.2, NGFF and Express Slot. However, you can't just expect it to work by shoving any old card into any old slot on any old laptop. Hell, even the type of *monitor* may prevent it from working if it has such tech as Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) or Panel Self Refresh (PSR), and even BIOS settings like Enable Hybrid Graphics. You also may need the software, DIY eGPU Setup 1.35. Do your homework before buying, but it's a sick product for those with a great laptop that's outdated such as a HP ZBook or similar, maybe your parents gave you one, maybe it's your only computer, whatever the case, quad core laptops can game just as well as a full sized desktop with the right know-how, and this route often is *FAR* cheaper than upgrading an MXM-III internal GPU if yours even has one, maybe you have a Quadro like me, but it doesn't matter if you don't have a dGPU at all.

Was literally thinking the same thing. Older laptops are likely to have a NGFF SATA slot and not PCIe. You're actually more likely to succeed with the wifi card slot since it HAS to be PCIe. Edit: Adding on, some BIOS will actually whitelist specific PCI devices too. I have an old Lenovo that I had to have someone patch the BIOS when I wanted to upgrade from an N card to an AC card.

It's been a while since I've binge watched Linus videos, I'm kind of off and on, I'll start binge-watching him for a month or so, lose interest, then come back to him again in like 2 months, but if I wear asked to pick just one thing I love about this channel, is that you keep your intro plugs around 10 seconds long. While this sounds like an arbitrary thing, it is insanely smart, most phones nowadays allow you to skip 10 seconds if you double tap the right side of your screen really quick, and is what I would assume a lot of us do anytime a sponsor plug is played in a video, we just double tap until we are skipped through it, because we're binge-watching content and want to get to the point, but, most of the time we overshoot or undershoot and have to find where the sponsor plug actually ends, Linus keeping it at 10 seconds on all of his videos means one double tap and we're into the content.

If you could make a 'breakaway' M.2 cable always connected internally, but disconnectable in maybe the optical drive slot (taped to keep in place); to be able to reconnect much quicker and conveniently each time you're ready to game.

And there are even other brands making this adapter ( the one you were using i only heard bad things back when i set everything up).

I had great success with the smart card variety on my enterprise laptop while I was scrimping to build my PC. I bought my GPU, PSU, and the beast first; played on that for about 6 mo waiting for a bonus at work, then bought the rest and assembled the system. I was out $80 for the beast at the end, but it was worth it to play Arma 3 and Fall Out in the interm. Would recommend as a temporary solution if you research on the forums first to verify compatibility and get lucky that it will all work.

[@nikolayspirov432]

Why did you even assemble a pc when the laptop egpu setup worked? :D How much did the frames go up when the GPU was in the PC? I have a Dell Optiplex 390 PC with a GTX 960 in it and a Dell e6430 that i'm thinking of trying out with a egpu setup.

[@anch95]

4:41 Way to go insulting my GPU's successor!

[@zacronzer]

Yeah this is really intended for older gen laptop which does not have thunderbolt. As exp gdc have few alternatives way to be used, such as the mini Pcie, expresscard and M.2. Most laptop atleast have a wifi card installed on the Pcie slot so you can guarantee it will somewhat work, though you will most likely need ethernet or wifi dongle, I find that it is quite a hassle for newer gen laptop especially with gpu, since you need to “hotswap” the gpu. Still it serve as a good alternative to revive older laptop.

[@tech34756]

I’m surprised they never came up with a standard for external pcie connections, similar to esata (i.e. it’s basically the raw slot made external in a suitable way). I know there would be limitations but it may still be suitable for e.g. external gpus.

[@Kuri0]

What is thunderbolt

[@tech34756]

@@Kuri0 IIRC/AFAIK Thunderbolt still requires a separate controller to PCI-E/cost (depending on the CPU) and from when I last looked at it had limitations/performance loss in comparison to using an actual PCI-E slot. Bearing in mind we’re talking about a post I made a while back, I was likely thinking of something to externalise a full x16 slot with as few limitations/cost as possible, hence my comparison to esata which from my experience is just a physical change.

[@MeatPopsycle]

[@bakaakuma9288]

Mark the setup 1.35 wont work on some laptop, i did that to my old dell latitude laptop and it still wont detect the egpu. The bios reject the egpu. It requires some bios mod to get it detect. But some laptops doesnt need that bios mod like my hp 14. Its now works paired with GTX 560

[@CommanderQ]

I also tried setup 1.35 on a dell latitude to try and get an egpu working. I struggled for months, and most frustratingly I found a forum post where someone else with the same model laptop and egpu had got it working with no issue and without 1.35 :(

[@mark4795]

Random Man if i remember correctly to make detect the gpu u had to plug the mini-pci removing the Wi-Fi chip while in hibernation i had to do that, then mod an old driver to make it install for the 1030 (I think this was needed only for the 10 series), after that i still was getting an error on the device that only with the e-gpu setup fixed it. Idk if it works on every laptop since ofc it's different but maybe is still worth a try if everything else fail.
