i hope they push this eGPU out asap! previously i found gpu cube but the damn psu power is so little :/

Then i was wonder how you gona carry this cube thing around

cool.. too bad our g55 doesnt have thunderbolt.. now i'm hunting for newer laptop~

simple. dont~ lol.. why would u

TS wana change laptop? What about this thread? lol

IMHO putting another cube just for the GPU is kinda waste of space. Monitor, CPU, AMP+ speaker, Keyboard mouse, and now GPU chasis?

uh? carry it around? @holloway is right: don't, lol!

i put this at home la. i have plenty of space at home i don't play games when i work. for work purposes, even the 660m has more than enough juice already.

haha, jz my thought. Since we r in mobile computing thread, it makes me think that way

BTW, if you play waterblock in your rig , separate GPU to another chassis definitely is a bad idea.

if i have a gaming rig with liquid coolant.. why would i go for a gaming notebook? go for slim2 sexy2 laptop~ easier to carry around lol

but if i have a gaming notebook, and needs more juice. i'd definitely head towards egpu if my laptop allows me too.

i think what they are aiming for is laptop user.. coz as we can see now most people are going for mobile gaming and having both gpu inside the laptop without proper cooling just kills the laptop faster.

if i change laptop.. i'll give the thread to someone else who uses asus G-series don't worry.. but i wont be able to change as if i change my cloths la~ need take sometime.. probably the thread heading towards v10 already then i can change my laptop~

oh.. imo for the sake of discussions let's us do not limit ourselves to the keywords, 'mobile computing' only. if i really needed to stick to those topics to the letters, i really have nothing to discuss already (as of now, high mobility means low performance, relatively; there is not much to discuss lol!). i might as well go else where

i just think that it's a nice idea that an external gpu can be used to replace our aging gpu. with this accessory, we don't need to worry about whether the gpu on our laptop is of custom form factor or soldered, and we can just get one and use it for all sorts of low-powered laptops.

if i have a desktop rig, eGPU is pointless pci-e is much better lol!

Bro, my advice is dun play custom desktop rig too much, once u go there, u gona be as broke as fcuk. Like me

Totally agree with the 'high mobility means low performance' terms I not sure about using external GPU with low-powered laptop tho. For desktop PC, there's plenty of room to grow, but you have to see how much ur wallet grow 1st

yeah thats what my point exactly.. thunderbolt has only around 30GB/s bus speed whilst pci-e 2.0 around 128Gb/s and pci-e 3.0 doubles that~ or around that.. but for laptop having a egpu means a solution for Asus also.since they really like to solder the GPU and CPU..

and speaking about mobile computing straight brings me to . limited ram, low TDP to save battery life and of course sucky gpu. those 11 inchers 13 inchers~ lol

tell me about it coz my next laptop isn't gonna be worth around 4k instead i might go as far as 7k or 8k.. i seriously think if i need raw power going for desktop rig would be more cheaper compared to buying a laptop .. try comparing a 4k laptop vs a 4k desktop ..

and a laptop is a one time bomb...whilst a desktop u can add here and there according to ur finance

hehe for those equipped with thunderbolt i think they can provide enough cpu power.

true, desktop is more fun to play with. if you have deep pockets there are even more fun

exactly

i got the g55 because it had enough juice to meet my needs and can ease my itches (self upgrades): it's for mobility; it's cool and quiet; and have enough ram slots (and it allowed cpu upgrades). along the way until it dies, i wish to dissect and add more juice to it (hence, my g55 today). i didn't bother about gpu because i don't game much (but i wish to have the chance to switch).

everyone wanna have the 'best'; but we all know that title can only last for a few months, looking at the rate of how manufacturers release their new stuff these days. although it's good to ease my itches, i sometimes think asus might be right in someway in terms of producing units of soldered cpu / gpu. BUT, the first thing they should do is to solder a high-end cpu / gpu if they wanna keep the name of 'gaming laptops' and premium price tags.

by the way, i am well aware of potential issues of self upgrades, like bad battery life. again, that depends on how you plan your upgrades. for instance, with all my current upgrades (3 ssd's, 3820qm cpu, and 32gb ram), i still can use my laptop for 2 hours (high performance power profile) with battery only. i don't need to have more than that period of battery life.

@tonberry_ax is right, the better way to ease my itches is to get a desktop

this is an interesting read.

Got my G55 back. They said motherboard issue, changed a new motherboard for me n I also claim for a new battery

is everything fine? it's better to check them all out first.

Did they called you to collect? As i try to call to the service center noone picking up the call
How you can claim a new battery?

They didn't reformat my hard disk thank god. So far so good. Change a new motherboard does that mean I got a new processor n gpu too right?

I called the service center myself. I was lucky they answered the phone immediately. Did u call the right number?

Whats the number you called?
