If you bought a new card, it will most likely come in an antistatic bag. Remove it carefully while taking care not to touch any crucial contacts or circuitry. Your OS might require you to adjust to optimal resolution and color depth after detecting the new card. If the display is a bit off, you might need to troubleshoot your installing to ensure that you did everything correctly.
To install new drivers, you can either download them or use a driver disc. In the case of a driver disk, simply insert the disc and follow the installation instructions.
After the installation is finished, you might want to test your new graphics. We hope this guide will help you to properly install a graphics card in your laptop. Make sure to follow the procedure carefully as any mistakes could damage your laptop.

The research is done, the BPlus board has arrived, your graphics card is ready for unboxing, and so is the PSU.
The images below show the Asus GeForce GTX Ti that we originally used for this article, but the process is the same regardless of which graphics card you use. Now connect the 8-pin PCIe connector on the board to the 6-pin power connector on the graphics card. Some users report that booting an eGPU setup works only when they hook into the ExpressCard slot after the initial boot, or after Windows loads.
Whatever your boot order is, and assuming you had a plug-and-play setup like I did, you should boot into Windows as usual. You may then need to reboot the system to get your eGPU setup working properly. Remember that the RX is a p gaming card. Higher powered graphics cards can obviously perform much better. Our test rig in this case is the aforementioned Lenovo ThinkPad X, packing a 2. This adapter is no longer available on the HWTools website though this close relation is.
This is my second eGPU card. My tests used a PCIe 3. After looking at my numbers for Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt most hardcore gamers will cringe in horror. With the Ti I had to dial it down to medium graphics at p resolution to get to a consistent 30 fps or more and hit console-level quality—and that was with Nvidia Hairworks turned off.
Witcher 3 is very graphics-intensive, but I noticed serious stuttering and other problems only when the frame rate went below 22 fps. Notice that the RX had a small jump in performance over the Ti. That suggests the PCIe bottleneck is quite a limiting factor, even when playing older games with newer cards. A more powerful graphics card would offer higher frame rates, but it would still be significantly hampered by the bottleneck.
Less intensive games easily clear the 30fps mark, including Metro: Last Light Redux. That was unexpected—though the benchmark ran three times in a row. The high settings, meanwhile, show a slight bump the other way around. Browse All Privacy and Security Articles Browse All Linux Articles Browse All Buying Guides. Best Portable Monitors.
