you don't need to disable integrated graphics. You just choose from the Nvidia settings to use your external GPU as its primary physics driver
I think he disabled the nvidia and enabled integrated.
@@souvikC4u which is dumb
@@souvikC4u no , he said if your laptop already have a designated gpu installed you have to disable it
@@beefstew8886 yes no need to disable if the laptop have already a separate GPU built in inside... to allow the external GPU to act as the main GPU i saw people disable it at their bios but if your laptop running at Processor i-GPU no need to disable it
@@gamertechlive1780 Ayo ive been finding that answer and i found it thanm you ll
Finaly someone who has brains and actualy shows what to do! thanx man
thats the same thing im thinking lol.
Same 😂
Did it work tho?😂
10 out of 10
You have restored my faith in humanity. Salamat Po!
You need to leave the BIOS option to Switching (or hybrid) if you want the laptop screen to work. Consider disabling the onboard GPU in device manager instead, not sure if that would work, but that is the approach.
Also, the WiFi m.2 slot is on a 2x slot. If the laptop has an m.2 meant for an SSD then that will be 4x and should perform better.
Not sure about that, i've seen vid using m.2, but checking it, it just utilizes x2. Which is the downside. I think ETA is his TH-cam channel.
I have a question. There is a usb type c port on my laptop and I want to know if it is possible to add a external gpu through that instead of the PCIe x slot. Also i don’t want to add an external gpu case as they are too expensive
i have a question, is it possible to use an adapter msata pcie to sata and then using dvd rom caddy connect it to dvd rom drive? will it work or will it be faster? i personally assembled and used an external gpu( beast kit and same method) for my acer laptop it worked but a few months later i encountered problem with the battery and cpu base clock stock at 0.38ghz. i fixed this issue by returning my laptop to its original form and resetting the bios.
@@saadafsarkhan5378 if ur type c indicated as thunderbolt. Yes u can with egpu external
@@99visionefootball this is means we can just change from hdmi-mini pcie cable to hdmi-usb-c thunderbolt cable?
Good sharing, although i was gonna be mad when you showed both screens as the benchmark LOL, luckily there's comparison chart at last xD
Thanks for the video.. If you mate this concept, with ideas from other TH-camrs (Cat and Andrew is a good example) about turning trashed laptops into custom desktops, you can get a decent, sustainable rig.
Hey just right now I came here after watching his video of turning an old laptop to a new one by installing an E GPU
My house blew up, who do I sue???
Your self
sue the house for blowing itself up
@@mathoose6821 xDD yeah sue tf out of the house so its fair
The laptop
your mom
Perfect, now I need a GPU :’)
Good joke
if you're lucky you would be able to get it for only twice the price from the scalpers
F for you friend
Now i need money
Yes me too
Nice 1 sir, i installed this on my i3laptop still is running smoothly, with Radeon 280x , installation was a breeze, thanks for posting
Very important. The 4-pin connector should go to the motherboard 4-pin connector, and NOT the 4-pin from the 20+4 main connector. The motherboard 4-pin connector is sometimes packaged as a 4+4 connector, just uncouple it to get what you need. This setup works with mini Pc boxes, but you need to use the WIFI port, not the m.2 port. Make sure you have the NGFF cable or use a mini-PCIe to NGFF adapter cable.
Ima use this video someday if i complete purchasing those. Useful
Lol you too huh?
Sooooo, it's been 3 yearsss how is it going?
Amazing production value, I subscribed thanks!
Nice i have a similar Acer Laptop this is informative and clear thanks bro!
Lemem gues: helios 300?
But u never did it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good video - Thanks for this Chad!
i think its bec you set the gpu to integrated mode permanently thats why your notebook would only use the on board gpu, what you couldve done (if its even possible) is to set the PCI-E slot meant for WLAN to detect the external gpu as a replacement for the dedicated gfx you disabled.
4:35 this is because, the egpu has to run through the laptops native graphics before displaying. While the external gpu does most of the heavy lifting it still gets bottlenecked
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
using the pci-e card you get only 2.5gb/s of throughput and if you use the internal display it will half that even more...therefore the throughput is horrible if using the internal display...the best way is to use the eGPU's display output to a monitor and set Windows to Projector mode.
Exactly, the cpu and its motherboard limit the gpu performance, so it kinda wasted. These method is usable but gpu's potential are not fully utilise
@hacshis hoxisered The extra input would be on the device that the beast is connected to, like a laptop or any other device that has HDMI inputs.
@hacshis hoxisered I think you connect your gpu hdmi input to your monitor output. Correct me if I am wrong because I have not tried it yet.
thanks for the video!
Is there a way to make a backup of all the drivers...you know, in case i mess up?
Thanks so much for the video, mate! I wanna get something like this for my HP EliteBook 8560p, but I'm not too sure about how to go about doing things.
Blayze Deville yeah i have this machine
I have the 8560w and I'm looking into the same thing. If you end up finding any info or do it yourself, I'd like to hear the update
same model i have . i am also planning to install egpu
The reason your GPU was not used was cause usually there is a display cable running from your GPU to your screen, so right now your external GPU can communicate with the internal hard ware but not your display as there is nothing connecting your GPU to it.
Thank You for sharing this info.
How to set it up with Dell Latitude 5480 Thunderbolt 3 ™ capable (Ports: 1)? Is there a specific adapter for that?
Do I need "CY Type-C Thunderbolt 3 to PCI Express PCI-E SSD"?
4:40 You will Probably already have found out but, You can go to Display settings, Scroll down and look for a small text that says graphics settings, click on it and then you have to choose the game or Programm you want to use the Gpu with. click on browse and find the game application in your files. Then it takes u back to the settings screen where you can see the program you chose. click on it and click on options and choose the gtx 560. Now it should always use the gtx 560 for that specific program. and u will probably be able to set it back to switching gpu mode in the bios, beacause then everything on your laptop screen is rendered with gt 640m except for the games, im not sure though. but doing so does add a bit off delay. Everything your gtx 560 is doing has to travel back through the pcie port to the gt 640m and then to the laptop screen so i myself would use a seperate monitor anyway.
@enrique amaya Amen 🙌
I think the M.2 M key (for SSD) would work better than the M.2 E key because it has more Lanes.
M.2 E key: 2 PCIe Lanes
M.2 M key: 4 PCIe Lanes
This slot is neither of those. It is actually the older mini pcie used for wifi cards, and carries only x1 lanes… not optimal, but still better than integrated graphics
Nice, we have the same laptop. Guess I can do this. What processor are you rocking in there?
yup still using my exp gdc on my envy 17
previously i was using on Asus q550lf
works perfect :)
Just my suggestion to make that GPU+Beast not connected into a 220V socket and more "portable" -
Use a Pico 12V 160W PSU or HD Plex 12V 300W PSU + a customized/DIY 12V 25AH batteries made in either Li-ion or LiPo with BMS + Battery Voltage Meter + Charger Module
Basically you'll need to learn electrical stuff or ask a friend with electronics background to make that, and the result will make it work for hours without any source from outlet, and making its size same as the laptop, it is easy to carry together with it.
Any videos on what you just described ?
would this essentially work on a i3-10th acer laptop with no thunderbolt ports
I have everything even a monitor just need to buy the dock and gpu
Same and goodluck with that
Really? Even the power supply?
does it work?
I feel as though the dock and GPU are sort of the thing 🤔
Good luck and avoid fire
Hi could you please tell me what software you used to edit this video? It's nice
thanks for this pal! ^_^
Well, this was the easy way, now do it with a mining riser and I'll be impressed. 😂👍🏻
Plz some one say will it harm the lap or gpu
@@xpoz9634 Well , I have not find anyone talking about damages in the laptop or the GPU by using this method, because that gadget is prepared for that kind of use. in my experience, i used a mining riser GPU, and curiously i didn't need to use any kind of config on my laptop; as soon as i connect the RX470 trough the riser mining gadget, it was inmidiately recongnized by the laptop and i used it almost normally, and i say "almost" because the power supply i used was not enough powerful to feed the energy requeriments of the RX470, adn because my CPU gave bootleneck to the GPS, so, i can use the RX470 to its medium capabilities. Now, i bought a Chinese PC, with Xeon E5 2620, 16Gb Ram DDR3 ECC 1333Mhz (OC to 1600mhz) and now i use the RX470 on it, and its wonderful.
@@FabianReyesBahamon oh thanks for your words I spent more than 1200 dollars for a new laptop called asus vivobook x513 and I love it so much i can play any game with that graphic fortnite also highest graphics but i just watch it some times this will be effective for me .1200 dollars is a big thing for me I am scared that something may happen to it if we do this I have removed my old lap completely cleaned it and fix it nicely I know many things but I m scared to open my new laptop
@@xpoz9634 So, better dont do it , until the guarantee last, thats the better option, but i think, after that, youll be ok with an external GPU adapter.
@hungrychad, bro i just want to ask if i use GTX 1070 GPU for my Sony Vaio (2014 version) will possibly work?
😂
Hi,well explained. Can you run then a 4k Monitor with full resolution with the external gpu or windows doesnt give you option to increace the resolution to the full ability of the external gpu?
Excelent video thanks alot; one question do you think that the monster works with GTX 1650 and 1660 Ti (or super) ?
Depend on cpu....old low end cpu make the gpu to bottleneck
Thank you for showing me what to disable there. That's my problem till now when I try using my gtx it wont recognized the two of them.
I have a asus laptop with a geforce mx110 I wanna upgrade ... Can it be dangerous?

For that conversion I would recomend a case for cable managment, it's a mess using a desktop PSU without a case
Check out the dell DA-2 power supply. It is very neat for a external gpu
Hi, may i ask abt your experience with this egpu setup so far? Is it stable?
Very neat. Thank you.
can you use 100% gpu usage on this?
A "TRUE RATED POWER SUPPLY"

Nice video going to try it soon.
Well done this is super interesting now
Very informative but damn it feels like 2009ish watching this vid
That makes it better
Wow nasa recommendation ko na. Im not even subbed. Haha. Grats chad. -bucsit
Great job!
Nice upload. Subscribed.
i like how i have the same cooling pad as him lmfao
I am dead man this is my end
Nice , is good to know how to impruve a laptop gaming capacity,tKS FOR THE VIDEO!!!
you can also install a new gpu if you have a laptop with a gpu make sure that you put enoguh ram at high mhz and low latency if you dont want spikes every 2 seconds
I think you ran into this issue because your laptop's display was connected to the cpu's integrated graphics and not the dedicated graphics card
Instructions unclear, house on fire and my cat is still inside.
Great video but
I got urgent question, i got laptop with rtx 3070 and would like to connect egpu with desktop rtx 3070 to mine eth. Will the egpu support laptop hash rate or will it switch from laptop gpu to egpu? Can’t find the answer. I’m mining on win 10.
Conclusion : buy a new laptop/PC or play on lower settings.
Maybe Turn off integrated Graphic (if you can) so that it switch to other Graphic/Card.
Bro, will this gpu also works if I want to use multiple display on my laptop? I mean is this the one that I need as well?
Do you still need a separated powersupply if your gpu is a lowprofile card like 1030or rx 6400?
I'm really like a free college here Because here he gives in detail ... oh yeah one thing whether VGA like GT1030 is still working or not thx
I will only need it to render 3D animation and maybe speed up my drawing software .
God this is still a batter option then just to buy a complete new laptop.
And I am broke .
Because all of my money did go to dealing with this laptop how ironic.
CN please give as the link of amazon or where did you buy the part?thanks
I need to buy an eGPU to add a discrete graphics card to my laptop. There are two connection standards on the market: NFF and Mini PCI-E. So with the HP EliteBook 840 G2 laptop, which connection standard should I buy?
When I saw the through my laptop. it just suddenly ran and jumped to our swimming pool😂🤣😂🤣
Hello po sir, can i ask po if i can attach the same setup as yours if i have integrated graphics? i have
System Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000

System Type: 64-Bit OS, x64-Based Processor
Yes. I just did it with mine. Laptop screen doesn't work when the eGPU is connected and turned on though, so you will need to connect a monitor to the eGPU you choose to use.
How much m/hs does it produce. Whats the watt output? & the monthly electric bill. Thanks
Hi sir Chad Good evening anong specs ng laptop mo? ano kaya ma recommend mong Budget GPU for ACER i5 11th gen (ASPIRE A514-54G)
You do not need to use an external monitor.
You can just set it as default for all low-medium to very high GPU intensive apps.
Bro if i use this method using rx 580 and latitude E7470, will i get full performance?
And i need to get external monitor to get full performance i will get, but please i need an accurate answer. Help me i beg you i waited so long for this moment please
There might be a bottleneck with the laptop, but it should be OK. When you have the apps using an external GPU, the internal one will be used to render.
@@DanielBerzinskas i don't understand the last message ( that the internal gpu will render apps?) and i will get external monitor with it. i don't mind the bottleneck but what i want to know if i will get high fps like the rx 580 has to give. and thank you so much
@@ahmadno-1633 I meant that rendering will happen on the external GPU, but the internal one will actually show the stuff.
@@DanielBerzinskas oh i understand now. Thank you so much 🌹
I wish there was a tech through which we could us external processor. I am stuck with my i3 processor on dell inspiron. And I wish I could upgrade it. But unfortunately, it is hard soldered on the motherboard 😭😭😭
do you use an ssd? if no, upgrade it this minute!
When I got the beast dock, it has the connection to the laptop as an express card slot. But many laptops don't have an express card slot. So ... where do you find an adapter for this to change it to like a USB or HDMI plug in?
Thanks.
Holdup what if you have a laptop with integrated graphics (vega 8) that is same brand as the gpu you are using?
For everyone that are wondering if this works, it does I tried it before but it has a problem The graphic card that is connected does not work as it's supposed to be The performance is not constant and frame drops happen I have tried the same card with my laptop and then I installed it on my PC and there was a big difference between the two I think this information is very important for anyone who wants to try this method
Note: The difference between the two is the stuttering and the frame drops both of them reached higher frame rates than the laptop's
It's because of the CPU... In the case open you may boost your cpu slight up so the laptop isn't CPU bound and also since you are on a laptop you also may wanna upgrade your ram if its some what about 4-8gigs coz that's where the most stutters come from.
@@9910607473 The PCIe has yo be v16 but instead it shows up as PCIe v4, and that's the cause the games were not bottlenecked by the CPU if that's what you mean
@@DrSmoke2104 if you are saying that pcie v4 is the reason for the stutters then most of the companies are dumb including me lol because... If most of the NOT HIGH END mother boards... There is only 1 v16 pcie slot and others are pcie v16 FORM FACTOR slots but actually v8-4 and when you use crossfire setup and sli, one of the gpu has to run in the v4 but a 16 form factor. V4 is not the reason of stutters otherwise a crossfire or sli setups wouldn't exist.
@@9910607473 That's why SLI and crossfires don't have perfect performance
@@DrSmoke2104 yea but again it's not coz of v4 pcie lol it's coz about 95% of the games don't support either of multi gpu support. My gpu gives same performance even putting it in either of the slot.
Yes mobility gaming but actually imagine caring a GPU and a power supply with you every time you go somewhere and you want to game and you just pull out the GPU and power supply and it’s just sitting on the table there’s actually a high chance that someone will probably just take your gpu and run
Its pretty to much to replace a desktop
No one ever said egpu is for mobility gaming.
4:47 That is normal, especially with this kind of setup. And also if you do not plug in your monitor cable to the GPU, not the motherboard ports.
Can you use external MSATA for the PCIE connector? I found one adapter that is connected from USB into Msata disk box.
Does it read the full power of gpu in that way ?
Now you can cook eggs while gaming, Thanks Hungrychad!
cool! This is cyberpunk looks!
Sir, if I use the thunderbolt connector, will it be less powerfull than using M.2 just like you did? please reply. I have subscribed you hehe
4:55 You can use a HDMI ghost dongle.
Using this method, does the performance will be the same compared when using an external monitor?
In order to make the external GPU work on your laptop screen you need to be able to use a thunderbolt type c connection.
his laptop is too damn old to hAve thunderbolt interface that is why he is using the PCIE x4 because its the only way his laptop would support his graphic card.
@@michaeljaen5261 yeah I know I was saying it would work only if he had a thunderbolt port. 🙂
@@coachnutt61 for sure if it is a newer model of laptop that supports thunderbolt, but in older laptop only PCIE and Express card sure it will work.
@@coachnutt61 how to know if my laptop has a thunderbolt port?
@@_quixote it will have to have a Intel CPU in it and what looks like a USB c connection but it'll have a lightning bolt above it.

If your pc had thunderbolt connection, is it possible to connect from hdmi to directly to laptop's thunderbolt?
Not all type c port is thunderbolt so its hard to say. Just double check your laptop model on the internet to see if its type c or thunderbolt
i tried this on my Toshiba satellite c80 laptop and an amd rx280x runs smooth but when i tried Nvidia god dang too many issues , great vid 👍👍
what benchmark software did you use?
When you have a desktop with a 2080s.. and no laptop... I think I'm addicted to PC parts 😂
you have to switch the settings in windows to make your games run from the GPU or else it'll run on the intergrated one when you try to run it from the laptop's screen
I'm guessing but, is it the graphics settings' advance settings? I went to there last time and it shows me that I can select games to set its performance to high and something appears like some sort of graphics card list that I can set/use on a game that I want
@@jayveebernaldez1087 nvidia graphsics then 3d settings and you'll see a option in the list where u can select the gou for a specific game.
You'll have latency lag if you use the internal display. Google why it's hard to explain. When using egpu you have to use an external for best performance
@@elhefe6029 nope, laptops with dedicated GPUs works on that principal and there is barely any lag.
@@tristan6509 please google it. You have no clue what you're talking about. You're literally halfing your bandwidth by using internal display with egpu. Please for the love of god stop talking about stuff you know nothing about. google is your friend.
Hey Dude, do you know if it's possible to upgrade an old Toshiba Pro 75-A7200?
I wish to upgrade it adding an eGPU, a ZOTAC GTX 1660 6GB GDDR6.
The Toshiba's CPU is an Intel Core i7 4700 MQ and I can upgrade 32 GB RAM up to.
The thing is that I want to keep using it 'cause I don't have enough money to get a new one and I have to keep working on it with some design software. Do you think it is possible to give it a second life?
When I'm working or playing, the statistics and percents says that CPU is working around a 25% only and Intel graphics are always 100%, so I thought that I could upgrade it with an GTX 1660 super 6 GB GDDR6.
In my knowledge, you can definately upgrade your Toshiba Pro. It has so many potentials.
Will this work with nvme to thunderbolt adapters? It would be awesome if I could connect this to my nvme SSD case, which connects to my laptop through thunderbolt 3.
00:21 why you plug hdmi cabble ?
For clickbait.
@@uzitalpur95 you dumb?
you know i love it how people always state things like "i can't afford space for a desktop and i don't want to deal with all the extra cables just to get into pc gaming, a laptop for me is perfect", yet to get a graphics card to work with a laptop, you still need a desktop power supply, and the pci express slot that comes with that dock, not only that but unless you have an ethernet cable or an extra usb wifi card, you cannot get back online, because that's how the graphics card is connecting and communicating to your laptop computer, and a project like this cannot be exactly "cheap" either all this hardware have to be purchased including the graphics card and every time you want to use the laptop on the go you have to disconnect all those cables and reinstall the wifi card, its doable but for people like me overtime this kind of strategy would become a headache.
You really just need to buy a desktop lol or a laptop with decent graphics card.
Many of us have spare parts bruh
@@universityrepairFL not all of us have spare parts it depends on where you are and how much things cost.
Thanks for the Video
Nice idea to upgrade my laptop 👍
I'd rather sell my old laptop and buy food than trying to attach a gpu onto it 😂
cant you just plug it into the ethernet cabel port?
Yes, that's an alternative.
Quick question, do I need to change the CPU which is Intel Celeron or nah?
Edit: Ps imma try to build a cheap desktop and its my first time
Well, i mean the pcie slot that assigned to wifi weren't used for dgpu to begin with.
So i don't think manufacturers would connect that pcie slot to the laptop display.
But does it run crysis?
Good luck for those laptops who gets broke after trying this because of whitelisting
I have a 4gb Geforce gtx 1050 ti as an EGPU on an HP x360 convertible laptop... I disabled intel tuning, there is no over clock but it does turboboost to 4.1ghz at about 70°c with Throttlestop, I use MSI Afterburner for Gpu maximum overclock and temps stay around 65°c, I also swapped the 256gb ssd for a 1tb ssd, and the 8gb ram for 16gb. I currently play Warzone, Black Ops Cold War, Apex, Gta V, and more. My point is, this is a great idea!
