eGPU, huh, that brings back memories. So much time spent on trying to get a 9800GTX to work via ExpressCard on a laptop, the community work on the whole thing was amazing.
- chx 8y agoIt still is just it moved from the notebookreview thread to https://egpu.io https://egpu.io
- rozenmd 8y agoand here I am in 2018 using my Lenovo X220's ExpressCard slot to run a GTX 960, only requiring plug-and-play.
- yannovitch 8y agoI would love to have more details about your setup ! Is it on Windows ? Linux ? OSX86 ? When you say plug & play, that means you're not required to reboot or do anything special at all ?
- rozenmd 8y agoSo you have to change all your BIOS settings for PCIE ports to enable hotplug, then you just plug in the EXP-GDC Beast into the ExpressCard slot. Works on both MacOS 10.12 and Windows 10. It's a Lenovo X220 ThinkPad with the BIOS modification described here: http://x220.mcdonnelltech.com/ http://x220.mcdonnelltech.com/ The BIOS mod allows me to run 16GB RAM at 1866 MHz. Also has a 500GB SSD running where the 3G card used to be, and swapped out the stock hard drive for another 500GB SSD.
