QUOTE(kizwan @ Oct 17 2011, 01:22 PM) PE4H kit = USD91 + USD22 (postage) = RM360 ATiAMD Radeon HD 6570 = RM230 Total = RM590 (excluding power supply) Radeon HD 6570 power requirement 60W (GDDR5) or 44W (DDR3). So, you can use 12V/75W or 12V/80W AC adpater. External monitor requirement is depend on your notebook specification. Please post your notebook model/brand & specification. I have a Toshiba M900, can you help me out please? |

QUOTE(kizwan @ Jan 18 2012, 09:10 PM) Please take a picture & post it here. If only one mPCIe port available, then definitely you can't optimized eGPU due to limited bandwidth. Graphic card will perform better with x2 link. FYI, instead graphic card, you also can connect sound card using this method. You know, if you want to connect desktop sound card to your notebook, like this. Here are all the ports I have, on the other side I have a USB, charger and LAN port. Not ports at the front, back and bottom.  |

QUOTE Did you open the RAM/HDD compartment? Now we need to find out whether your notebook can do x2 link or not. Oh I didn't, so I have to unscrew the little screw and open up the compartment into the HDD eh, alright will do it right now. EDIT: Oh well no luck, after unscrewing I don't see any ports   So, I have a expresscard slot, HDMI, eSATA, 2 usb, earphone/mic jack... Would any of these be useful though I doubt they are.
