Egpu Setup 1.x

[Audie Blazek]

hotplugging the nvidia gtx 660 ti to my laptop resultet in error 12 and the first thing i tried was the DSDT override [2] which failed no matter what. so after 2 days of intense hacking i gave up on the graphics card. a few weeks later, therefore yesterday, i decided to try the setup 1.x [3] tool and this tool is very cool.\n\negpu setup 1.x\nDownload Zip https://shurll.com/2wJ2mr\n\n\n\nIf the delay switches do nothing then try to insulate pin22(PERST#) on the mPCIe connector with a tiny electrical tape and put the pdt switch to 15s. Start your system with egpu connected and forget about hotplugging.\n\nHi guys, I have been trying to install Nando 1.2 or 1.3 patch for my egpu setup, followed all the steps but once I mount the external image and boot into windows (and get prompted to choose 1.2 patch on boot screen( I get the following error (see updated image).\n\nshould I buy the pearl p4E instead.. does it work better than the GDC beast? cuz I installed a second windows 10 for nothing .. setup 1.3x is not working on it... see my previous posts (btw this thread is a mess with tons of unanswered posts and posts just get ignored and disappears with so many posts)\n\n\n\nOk after yet another windows 10 64bit install..manage to get the egpu detected but i have 2 gpus now..intel integrated and my egpu nvidia 750 ti.....how do i switch between each one now cuz i think it is using the intel one\n\nThe problem is when I try to select "setup 1.30 menu-based" option the screen goes completly black. It shows like some words real quick that I can't even have time to read them, and then goes black. (But still have video signal)\n\nI know that setup 1.30 DO work perfectly because I'm able to run it without using my egpu....or when I use my GTX 650Ti Boost on my eGPU. The problem is only when I use my GTX 1070 FE on it, the screen just goes black after I select any of those options that appear in the setup 1.30 menu.\n\nI have just purchased the DiY Egpu setup program and I have followed the installation instructions but it doesn't show up in the boot options at the beginning when the system is starting. It automatically starts windows7 without offering me to choose the Egpu program. I have tried it on two separate laptops and I get the same. What am I doing wrong? Could somebody help me out here?\n\nSteps to perform prior to installation of the eGPU.A- Read this ( -e-gpu-projects/2109-diy-egpu-experiences-%5Bversion-2-0%5D.html)and this ( -e-gpu-projects/3539-guide-dsdt-override-simultaneous-igpu-dgpu-egpu.html)and this ( -e-gpu-projects/7476-%5Bguide%5D-dsdt-override-fix-error-12-a.html#post102517). Also, watch some videos like this ( =ktUw2VTFyX4), this ( ://), and this ( =in2RYwjWFyA).B- Buy the appropriate hardware and software.C- Download and install a graphics driver Uninstaller program to remove old drivers.D- Download the latest drivers for BOTH the laptop and new eGPU.E- Download ( -e-gpu-projects/3539-guide-dsdt-override-simultaneous-igpu-dgpu-egpu.html)and perform a DSDT override if required.F- Install DIY eGPU Setup 1.30 from 'Tech Inferno Fan' if required.\n\nI have just started and trying to get DIY egpu working. I am using GE60 2pf apach pro\ncurrently, i am stuck on position where whenever i try to do any kind of chainload with any option, it will cause 0xc000000e error whenever i try to load windows 10 or 1.30 ,with or without any kind of other modification such as diabling Dgpu.\nfor my egpu, psu: 700W ModXstream-pro\ngpu: gtx 460 as test model (planning to get eVGA FTW 1060 3gb if it works)\nmy computer specs are listed on my DxDiag screen.\ni have followed all the steps that the setup guide provided by using image in administrator mode. I have noticed that I got no PCI BUS so I deleted section with PCI express inside devcon text file. \nI have 3 hard drives, 2 ssd and 1 hdd. my windows is installed in DISK 2. all of 3 parts are MBR.\nIf any more information is needed, Iwill provide. i simply do not know which infos I need to post. Thanks.\n\nI have just started and trying to get DIY egpu working.

Thanks.\n\nEDIT : I see that you're using an AMD processor. I'm not sure if setup 1.x for AMD GPUs. If you are using an intel chipset on another PC, you can find the chipset in device manager under the system devices category. Let me know what chipset it lists.\n\nHowever, the loss is something worth knowing about. If you're hoping to play the latest AAA titles on ultra-high settings, an external laptop GPU setup might not do it for you. That's not to say the external GPU won't improve the graphical performance of your laptop; it definitely will. But the gains might not be as game-changing as you think.\n\nNow, the base laptop you use for your eGPU setup does have a big say in this. If you're using an old laptop and hope that plugging in an RTX 3070 eGPU will magically make gaming incredible, you're plum out of luck. But if you have a modern laptop with a decent CPU (say, from the last three years or so), there's a good chance an eGPU will deliver an improved gaming experience. By extension, if you're using an older eGPU with a newer laptop that only has integrated graphics, it could be time to consider upgrading your GPU.\n\nHP Spectre x360 15 2018\n"},"alt_text":"HP
