External GPU Over M.2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video, I upgraded the integrated graphics on a Laptop using a M.2 to PCIe x16 adapter. This video runs down the entire process from start to finish. This might not be the most practical solution but it was fun to test out and a great example of what PCIe can do. I want to know what games you think we should test out, in the comments down below.
Parts used:
M.2 Adapter: amzn.to/41DaRnM
DP Headless Adapter: amzn.to/3kywODJ
EVGA Power Supply: amzn.to/3xX7kTA
RTX 2070: amzn.to/3IYnNNv
Lenovo Laptop: amzn.to/3SK0RVG

Congratulations, your laptop now is on life support!
Fr 👁️👄👁️
That’s what I’m saying… like either buy an egpu if your laptop has type c or just save up and buy either a better laptop or desktop
Maybe someone already had and wanted to give it a boost 🙄
@@brickmasterstudios447 it's a fun project tho
I used to do this some sort of thing over the mini pcie slot for the wifi card. I don't see the issue with this
bro maxed out the starting weapon
😂😂😂
Looooooooooooooolool
Fr tho😂😂😂😂😂
Nice one bruhhh😂😂😂😂😂
How I managed to get my AK47 to shoot 120×570mm NATO rounds: I attached a M1 Abraham tank to it
the underbarrel M1 Abrams, classic
why is everybody complaining? don't you think it's better to have that option than no option at all?
I mean it is cool, tho as other said this is a very niche thing. Not the most cost effective, and also makes the purpose of owning a portable laptop mute
I think everyone is missing the creativity that went into this, man just wanted to get a gpu working on his laptop and I applaud him for that
I would'nt call this creative, people have been doing this for years now, this is an old trick
this aint creative
no its stupid lol
@@ajac009 No, it isn't, not necessarily.
He just simply wired the gpu to the laptop and gives power to it😂 he didn't used the gpu's display because he can't🤣
At that point just build yourself a pc or get a prebuilt 😭
Unless you wanna upgrade a laptop
I mean, if you already have a laptop with a good processor it's kinda worth it?
@@caringnickel2403 not really, if you plan on taking that laptop somewhere good luck setting it back up
@@caringnickel2403 lmao
@@nuclearhamster that's barely a laptop now
Thinkpads are always the test subjects 😂
the most cursed ting about this is not the janky external gpu approach but the fact that there is now an AMD and a Nvidia GPU in the same system
🤣🤣🤣 I find it hahahilarious!
@@alexpierre3162 I think that's called double trouble haha
fr bro
That's normal in case you don't know.
Pretty normal ny pc runs Radeon graphics and a 4090
Scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should. . .
You'll usually get some kind of bottleneck with the PCIEx4 on the M. 2 slot.
(This one appears to heavily depend on what graphics card ya got)
@@iGNUiCould I'm not sure actually but there will be some kind of bottle neck if u use it with RTX3080 tho. xD
@@lunarstarfurry there definitely is. Since the Razor Core X uses Thunderbolt… it’s only operating at PCIe 3.0 speeds with 4 lanes (4GT/s). To get full speeds out of a GPU, you’ll at-least need PCIe 3.0 x16 or PCIe 4.0 x8 interface (16GT/s).
@@waste_of_time-1- sometimes using pcie 4.0 can lead to a small fps increase but there is plenty of bandwidth to go around to operate cards at 3.0. Worst case scenario you’re going from 150 fps to 140 fps
@@waste_of_time-1-here is a wide range of video cards currently sold that do not come close to saturating the full 16 lanes, if you’re running on a budget and have a laptop with an M.2. Connector for a pretty reasonable price you could get a 1660 super and an adapter or some used GPU. And have a pretty tolerable performance bottleneck, as compared to getting a new laptop, not a bad way to squeeze a few extra years out of a laptop. Especially if you can get a used GPU at a good price. It’s always worth scrolling around on craigslist or eBay for a little bit.
@@quantuminfinity4260 yes, lower tier GPUs wouldn’t see a difference in performance.
all of that hassle just to put a 2070 on a PCIe 3x4 💀
@@andrelisboa7193 You missed the point. It's the x4 part that he took issue with.
@@andrelisboa7193 Modern GPUs should at least be on a x8 slot for the most part(unless you're running gen 5 slot or something)
@@andrelisboa7193 Incorrect as stated. Correct would be "only works at upto PCIe 3 speed".
2070 is 3.0 gpu lol, the difference between x4 and x16 is barely 5%
The price, and the additional hassle, made me think twice 😢
Your SSD is also using like 2 PCIs lanes I think, while your GPU uses 4.
The numbers could be wrong but my point is there’s bottlenecks lol
@@thecanmanification bottlenecks that hardly exist
@@aiexzs when you’re talking about pcie lanes for a GPU halving the amount needed is a serious bottleneck lol.
@@thecanmanification i think the mobile cpu is something more to worry about in most laptops lol
I was considering doing this with my laptop (Ryzen 5 3500u 16gb ram Radeon integrated graphics) but that would basically make your laptop glued to your desk which completely goes against what a laptop is. If you're thinking of doing this, look into building a PC and keep your laptop as a secondary device.
yeah same. although it probably wouldve saved me $600, i simply cant afford to lose the portability of my laptop anymore
Except that building a new pc is not cheap
@@MkLC04 yeah honestly now isn't the best time to build a pc, but it isn't the worst either. we are at the start of a new gen, and its gonna take a while before the almighty pc gets back to being a better value for money solution
you know you can disconnect that GPU when you want to move, right?
@@hi_its_jerry, honestly I think that we are far from this madness ending, everything is so expensive. Looks like Nvidia is all for being the best brand in terms of performance, and AMD might be a wisest option in terms of money, but it's still expensive.
The fact that the most used GPU is the 1650, a GPU that's like 3 generations old already, says a lot. As weird as it seems, I think Intel with their GPUs might be what the market needs, I'm hoping they keep going
Finally, using this simple implementation, all laptop users can enjoy a tower GPU.
Homie used the pack-a-punch machine on his laptop
Its nice that adapters such as this give people with older equipment options, as there's a lot of folks that would just throw away an older laptop like that instead of repurposing it, but I kind of wish that these adapters also included an additional slot to connect the SSD again, kind of like those eGPUs like the ONEXGPU, as not only do you get the external graphics card, but you also can add additional storage up to 8TB with its SSD slot, and even though the laptop loses its portability, it can be used for something else.
Amazing video, really clear guide and really efficient too!
The adapters pcei slot is X16 long, but the connection it self is either X4 or X8 , so powerful cards have a bottleneck by connection. Got same result with alienware graphics amplifier. Its uses same X8 connection speed . The real methood is an MXM to pcei adapter , its not limited by connection speed its uses pcei X16 3.0 @ pcei X16 3.0
Any M.2 SSD slot is only PCIE x4
@@sihamhamda47Not all ports have X4 bus, some of them are X2 .
@@Csupati I finally know why some cheap laptop/PC motherboard caps the SSD speed at 1.5GB/s transfer rate regardless of the SSD type
Congrats! Your laptop looks like it is on life support!
Congratulations you now have a new build PC :D
Me with a ExpressCard slot: I guess I unlocked a cheat code
Edit: some external GPU connectors have ExpressCard connector
Edit.2: DAMM THANKS FOR SO MUCH LIKES
i have laptops with that and a express card adapter to pcie 16x 3.0.
@@DragonProtector cool, then you prob. Just need a PSU and a GPU
@@albibarti3951 tried but rip dell bios lock. system said not enough resources
@@DragonProtector sry but what is bios lock?
@@albibarti3951 basically they won't let you. Need certain cd with software to bypass it. I don't remember the cd
i think this is alternative solution which is make sense of some people that want to build PC but they still use their laptop, not buy another PC that will make high cost
Thinkpad nowadays are a beast with humble looks
The m.2 slot later - 🔥🔥☠️🏴☠️🪦
Isn't most of the power being consumed by the psu
This is almost like upgrading the starting weapon that everyone has 😭
More simple then i expected
Best for budget Builds and Cost-effective and power efficient.
I have a 1050 laptop, This is prefect for me, I think i am going to give it a shot. I dont have money for a whole new computer right now.
Honestly just use an m.2 to oculink adapter. Much cleaner and you close the laptop for quick swapping
Doesnt work
This is the way we did it in the old days, wonder how much performance loss there is actually, specially with newer laptops that have PCIe 8x 4.0
Thanks! You may have just solved my desktop GPU problem.
"In order to upgrade this laptop's graphics, I built a new PC and used the laptop as a monitor!"
You are a Wizard , Harry ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩🤌🏻🔥❤️🔥
What the heck, first time I'm seeing this. I didn't even know this could be done. Technology really has come a long way 🎉
congratulations on inventing the exterior GPU enclosure.
Oh wow that so easy and not cumbersome or clumsy at all.
I've been using one of these adapters to great success using a Radeon RX 6500 XT to upgrade my laptop, which only had the iGPU of it's Ryzen 4700u
How I made my hand grenade as powerful as a nuke: I just threw the nuke
Very interesting experiment, I look forward tho see more of it! ✌️😁
I feel the display adapter is the trick here.
The design is very human...
Me with my laptop that only has 1 ssd slot and no thunderbolt:
Wow that’s crazy, great thinking dide
Love the vids ❤
Overkill at its finest🎉😂
0:51 -- what does that even *mean* ??
*"Set my games to open during testing [...]"* ??
I've been trying to figure that out too. Is it even important? Not sure, but hopefully not.
World’s most dangerous laptop. Just standing near it, you will be sweating
Would be nice to see i fyou can repurpose a port on the laptop case so you can put the laptop back together and just plugin the GPU from the outside when you need it :)
the bottle necking is crazy
damn that 2070 design lookin sick
It's just a plastic rog strix card, decent looking but nowhere near the all metal cards of other brands...
XFX Merc Black are underrated and much more pleasing to look at 🗿
Buddy of mine did this once. Attached a 3060 to his laptop and quickly realized why not many people do this. 😂
You'll probably find it faster on the external display connected directly to the GPU depending on the laptop hardware.
Best video: today I built a desktop in a laptop case
Thinkpad never dies
That is so cursed.........I love it!
A good way to run ML and LLM models for training and inference using a humble laptop.
This, is actually pretty cool. I wouldn't do it, but cool it works lol
Imagine carrying this around school 💀
Wow! That is pretty nice!
The fact that I'm watching this after fools of april
Wonderfull mat, super cool
This is amazing. thank you
I did this for more or less 6 to 8 years
From using express card adapters to using thunderbolt. I even have the 3dmark measurements from each laptop and gpu I owned somewhere in case you'd want to expand the topic
Remember when laptops had upgradable gpu... Mxm slot
From one side, really cool, from the other it feels like weird stationery PC :D
Nevertheless, I would like to see some benchmarks on modern heavy GPU games.
im gonna act like i knew what tf this guy was saying this whole time
"Laptop" with dedicated graphics, more like it is now an actual "Desktop".
Great, now arrange the table so you can use it comfortably 😅
Congragulations, now you have 1/4th of an RTX2070
Why?
@@rafael_tg that much downgrades the gpu?
@@rafael_tg CPU bottleneck
Man went full diy mode
Also run cyberpunk at max graphics with psycho ray tracing
Thanks for not uploading the testing video 😑
Originally I wanted to build an eGPU while watching this. Maybe if he put the GPU, power supply, and cables into at least a cheap eGPU casing.
But factoring the cost, hassle, and the eGPU not portable, might be better to start off with a gaming laptop. Since the bottle neck eventually be from this laptop.
Whatever happened to the devices that were supposed to upgrade your laptop like that but also have hard drive expansion.
Horizon Zero: Dawn/ FW, ARK Survival Evolved, Rust... Hell- even some MineCraft. Those are what I want to see reviewed with the GPU added.
Bro must be using an unbreaking 3 golden helmet
Bro could have just said "I built a desktop PC and connected it to a laptop"
Possibility itself is amazing
It's like intubating the laptop and connecting ventilator for laptop 😂
How to put external GPU on a laptop.
Step 1: Warm up particle accelerator
Try to find a shorter cable. The latency of that cable will bring up a lot of issues.
So glad mine has tb4, in the future I might consider an external enclosure
Until you realize the enclosure is more expensive than the gpu(unless you have Nvidia)
As a student, this setup look cheeper and just better, my school wants the student a decent/good laptop, i have a HP elitbook with a i7 and it cost me 800$ from my father (his old work laptop), My desktop has the same prossesor and a RTX 4080.This setup will make a portable laptop and a home gamaing machine while saving a lot of money, place and time.
Warranty go brrrr
You're assuming there was any warranty left.
Congratulations! Achievement unlocked: Bottleneck
Sure, there is a bottleneck but it's still an improvement over the iGPU
You're not getting 16x though you're only getting 4X with an M.2 adapter
I'm running an egpu enclosure and am dreading being forced onto a new Mac by my company since they don't have EGPU support on Apple silicone.
the moment you realize you should've bought a desktop
Remember when you upgrade your Pipe Gun with a lot of silly strong mods? This feels like that, somehow.
My laptop already had a 2070, so I'm happy not to go through all that jazz
It works. But there are dedicated external GPU systems
Can we agree that any thinkpad is one of the best computers ever built?
Defeats the whole purpose of a laptop
Cable management left the chat*
This si what happens when you enchant a golden pickaxe with efficiency 5.
Cool project but giant kick in the pants for practicality
cpu: ..i'm in danger
To get the best possible performance of the GPU, you should plug a monitor to the video output of the graphics card instead of using the laptop's display.
How I managed to get my CZ 75 to fire 20x102mm rounds: I attached an underbarrel Denel NTW20 to it
Laptop gonna bottleneck so much it would hurt me in real life
You can even use a 4k monitor ig...it can improve your gaming experience....which you can directly plug into the rtx
