One day, you should take one of those huge old laptops and try what modern hardware (PC Hardware in the best case) you can fit in and then see how it will perform. This would be very interesting to see.
PC or laptop hardware? I suspect it would experience cooling problems but maybe not. Only one way to find out.

That's what I'm trying to do but it's very very complicated especially on a budget
I'm really surprised gaming laptops dont just have a pcie external slot.
Why would they ever do that? That way, you'd just buy a new GPU in three years, instead of a whole new laptop. They'd be complete idiots to offer that.
@@Sgtpeterenis just charge an extra 500 bucks for it. Laptop CPUs still go out of date fairly quickly so it's not like people who have the money for a good gaming laptop wouldn't upgrade in the future. Not to mention most people who buy these gaming laptops usually use then till there completely obsolete. So they don't upgrade every year anyway.
@@Sgtpeterenis still need to upgrade cpu and ram which would mean a new system. But I guess that's all slowing down now. I'd rather just put the money for the enclosure and vid card toward a game build.

Depends though. If you want something that can be beefy like a desktop but still move with you, as well as being cost efficient giving you more room in a budget for better upgrades, then i highgly recommend taking an old laptop and upgrading it.
If you want to use a bigger monitor just use a HDMI (If your laptop isnt too old to not have one)
I was considering building a PC from scratch but it would have been around £600 and knowing i can upgrade my already good laptop for cheaper and get the same gaming capabilities out of it is a no brainer.
Good thing about this is you can easily remove the upgrades to move into a PC build. Easy!
This was the first linus episode that didnt help me :((
Hey Linus, Now you're part of the Framework project, maybe you could ask them to make a pcie external slot extension for those (like me) who would like to have a laptop for work with an egpu for gaming :) Because i'm currently looking to buy a razer core x chroma egpu case conected in thunderbolt to my work laptop station ... but it should be better if it could have a PCIE external slot directly ...

Buy new Laptop with GPU fixes inside perfect
Leave back cover of the laptop out then build an enclosure attachment of about 5 inches deep and cover the laptop's bottom with that and install a carrying handle in the middle of the top center area of the laptop to be able to carry it around when the laptop is closed. You will have the world's modern bulkiest laptop but at least the GPU would be internal.

Yeah, except the quality of their support service who trashed my laptop with damaged case + white powder on screen and keyboard AND stuff that looked like cutted nails.
Plus my machine got already overheating shutdown because of a fucking BIOS problem that got patched 2 days later but was enough to fry the internal audio, some parts of the external case, some keyboard keys, wifi + bluetooth module and the keyboard's backlights.
Not sure to dish out more money to them after this crap.

These are sick and work really well, and even come in various varieties including mini PCI-E, M.2, NGFF and Express Slot. However, you can't just expect it to work by shoving any old card into any old slot on any old laptop. Hell, even the type of *monitor* may prevent it from working if it has such tech as Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) or Panel Self Refresh (PSR), and even BIOS settings like Enable Hybrid Graphics. You also may need the software, DIY eGPU Setup 1.35. Do your homework before buying, but it's a sick product for those with a great laptop that's outdated such as a HP ZBook or similar, maybe your parents gave you one, maybe it's your only computer, whatever the case, quad core laptops can game just as well as a full sized desktop with the right know-how, and this route often is *FAR* cheaper than upgrading an MXM-III internal GPU if yours even has one, maybe you have a Quadro like me, but it doesn't matter if you don't have a dGPU at all. This video was awful and half arsed, this product is great for those on a strict gaming budget like high school students, or for those just looking to mess around with something niche.
I’m just looking to to be able to run a couple cpu and audio intensive programs at once without massive lag
The concept is at least. When this video was released, I tried three different cards and it burned out all of them

If you could make a 'breakaway' M.2 cable always connected internally, but disconnectable in maybe the optical drive slot (taped to keep in place); to be able to reconnect much quicker and conveniently each time you're ready to game.
I somehow left this video with less answers than when I went in...? Did he actually offer a solution, or did that go over my head?
nope, he gave up
He basically threw in the towel. It's just not feasible for such a big piece of dedicated hardware to be compatible with a laptop. I still think the eGPU enclosure is a viable solution honestly. My laptop has a RTX 2060 and 32GB ram. It's plenty enough for high/ultra 1080p gaming and 4k/multi monitor productivity. But if I wanted to bump up the muscle to run at a higher resolution, then the eGPU would be the ticket, until I built a proper mini tower. The best part is that since you have to buy the gpu for a gaming rig anyways, that's one less thing you have to worry with.

The problem is, most people who want to run an external graphics card on a laptop on the cheap have a really cheap laptop too. That means no NVMe, and usually the highest-bandwidth port you'll find is USB 3.0. So a solution like this, while fascinating, only serves a very specific niche of people who somehow spent a decent chunk of change without getting a dedicated card internally.
asmcint I use an eGPU because I want an ultra portable laptop, but also don't want to spend more money+room on a desktop, as well as having to deal with two systems.
you can plug an version of this into mini-pcie which is on virtually any laptop.
Mini-PCIe also requires you to open the laptop, which significantly hinders the convenience factor of such a product. And as Linus mentions in the video, most laptops only have one such slot, which is often taken up by some form of networking device, usually WiFi, which most would consider essential.
a lot of laptops have 2 minipci slots, and if they don't: thats why usb dongles exist. opening up your laptop isn't hard, it just takes time and you only have to do it once. this isn't designed for new laptops like the one he tried to use, this is designed for laptops that are 10 years old.
Hm. Okay, I might look into it then. Still, the product on display *here* is kind of pointless.
When you win a GPU but you forget that you don't even have a desktop.
I won once a GPU but I couldn't use it in my ITX pc nor in my netbook, so I sold it fast xD.
@@ScientistDog I am so jealous now shortage why sell it
no joke my laptop actually just blue screened after they said "Plug it into an internal port"
i used this for quite some time with a GTX 2070 on a dell with a 1060 go. gave me a great work laptop with good battery life and a desktop station at home with my vr setup
OMG. The GE62 has a sata m.2 slot, not PCI. How I hate this moments when they just plain lie to the people and say that they don't know why it doesn't work.
Linus is faling hard at this stuff. From the CPU benchmarks at 4K ultra settings to stuff as dumb as trying to use a 10 series graphics card as an eGPU (Nvidia crippled the thing via driver updates).
I love how on the resellers sites it is stated that 10xx GPUs are mostly incompatibile. Jams in a 10xx anyway cause "science". Fail.
That's what I was thinking... M2 is basically a connector, it can provide PCI Express, SATA... or even USB 3. That's why you always need to check you motherboard doc to know what's behind your M2 port before thinking of plugging something on there.
He did say it was supposedly NvME capable...
It even has a label on the PCB that says SATA. I know Linus knows this but they just make a script and stick to it. It's a fake video.
Dewd!
Can't believe that you gave up so easily.
RandomGamingInHD connected a regular PCIE 1X external card adapter to a cheap ASUS Celeron based laptop... (It worked, though the results weren't great, as you'll suspect due to the low end Celeron CPU)

LMAAAO
I'm from the future, during the bearded era of Linus, and the face in this video is a shock. I forgot about this version with the socks and sandals and what not.
also from the future, this Beast Pci-e adapter saved my laptop and provided me with a powerful gaming machine after my internal gpu died.
I have actually been researching this. The Beast in particular and everything I have seen so far is the biggest graphics card to use is a gtx1060. So with him using a 1080, of course he failed. As much as I like his channels, he is notorious for using top dollar stuff that most of the rest of us can't afford anyway.
soooo if i do buy this beast i have to use a gpu below the 1060 or the 1060. so couldi in theory use a 1060 gtx???
shit i didnt read ur comment correctly
I know it's been 2 years, but plenty of people buy top or high end hardware. Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean everyone else can't.
He said he tried older cards and held up a 1050ti.
I've successfully used 3080 over minipcie version of the beast
I like the way how Linus always casually says"I just grabbed a GTX 1080!"
vs them using the titan v for the testing?
Notice also, they're all Nvidia brand, and not off stuff like EGA or Gigabyte, which is pretty much what the rest of us have if we have them at all.
AnimeChuck Yeah, they use the founder's edition, which is the term used as far as I can remember, we on the other hand, not me though, have those other brand versions. Nice observation, Sherlock... Yay...
AnimeChuck Might have slightly to do with the fact that Nvidia sponsors them directly. Oh and, "the rest of us" can buy whatever we want. These cards are reference models, or "founders" editions, and are sold just like any other card. "Off stuff". Are you seriously suggesting a reference card is not official?
Salad Fingers
Official? That is not at all what they were suggesting... That is a weird question

A few years ago I saw that video and though it has a really niche use-case and I would never consider it. But now that I went into the homelab loop-hole, I definitely find many uses with a split 16 to 4*4 PCIE card to M.2 !
My laptop looking at me after the video: NO GOD PLEASE NO (yes it is a The Office reference)
Keep in mind here that linus here is using the M.2 SSD port for the EXP GDC egpu and not the ngff/mini-pcie port that used by the wifi.The exp gdc through the m.2 port is not the common standard while using the exp gdc. Its not recommended. The cable is the most expensive, and the chance of it working is the lowest compared to using the exp gdc through the mini-pcie/ngff slot.
hey sorry for late reply, what do you think the performance difference is from NGFF vs thunderbolt vs m.2?
The cheap way? I didn't know that GTX 1080 is "cheap"

What a fucking idiot lol.
One thing that is missing on this video, is that the NVMe on the MSI laptop (and the MSI CX62 in my case) don't really work (SATA mode does work though)... However I wanna still try using the wifi port and see. (as I still have an aging laptop from few years ago). Linus ever thought about comming back to this and trying the wifi slot?: Edit, saw the mention of it at the beginning :)
I'm using and old Acer Laptop with a GT 630M (which no longer gets driver updates since around 2015/2017). I still have another GTX 960 from my main pc (the motherboard just decided to give up and is ded). Never thought of this before so when this popped up it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Going back to an old video now that I have a laptop and I forgot how bad the ad segways used to be.
What is the limitation on GPUs that you could use with such an eGPU dock? I imagine its more so bandwidth bottlenecked on the mini-PCIe vs. regular PCIe interface (as mentioned with speed comparison), but with the 16x GPU interface it should be compatible theoretically with most modern GPUs... so at what point would you start to see a trade-off or bottle-necked performance with current GPUs and where which would be a good candidate to try (eg. GTX 1660 OC)?
This sounded very exciting till it wasn't :/
linus isn't the only one to review this. there's many videos about this. I've been wanting one just to have one, but the compatibility is limited. check the list on the website. look for other uploads. linus just confirmed 2 more laptops that wont work.

Hi Linus, thanks for the interesting video, as usual.
I don't quite agree though, there is a very interesting market for this: Business laptops.
I got myself a Dell Latitude E6530 with a decent I7 3720QM and plenty of RAM for 150 bucks. Professionnal buisness laptops are dead cheap nowadays.
All I did was upgrade to a decent Samsung SSD (50$) and this thing crunches numbers like some descent desktop machines.
Recently I got myself a beast with a mini PCI-E connection (80$) and a cheap GTX 780Ti (70$!) and am using a PSU I had lying around.
For less than 350$ I now have a very capable and still portable laptop to do CAD or play games with.
This thing has 3 mini PCI-E connectors from the factory and swapping the DVD drive for an Ebay SSD tray makes it easy to get an HDMI cable to connect the beast without even cutting a single hole in the case + still being able to close it.
Maybe this wasn't interesting in april 2018, but you should definitively have another look at laptops with e-gpus today ;)
Thank you for confirming this. I guess I'll go do a ton of research

cheers
this damn combo is what got me into building my own pc gaming i built a t420 up bought the gdc beast and a 1050 ti but at the time it wasnt compatible with the pascal so i gave up got an optiplex and slapped in the 1050ti got the upgrade bug and now have 2 gaming rigs including a custom water loop anyhoo were you able to get the 1050 ti to work with the gdc and did you use the express card way?
Gabriel Molina yes i got everything working. I'm using the express card version of the beast adapter. I'm using ubuntu 18 and it was a pretty simple install. I installed the nvidia 390 driver and tested it with a few games. The reason for the build was to make a cheap setup for deep learning and install tensorflow. I made a couple videos on the build over on my channel

I like how he did the sponsor in a way were it completely takes you off guard.
Bit late, but you can get different hdmi connectors for these, I use a mini pcie in my usff lenovo pc, works great! looks good :)
I can vouch I ran the Express card version years ago so I've been entirely unimpressed with current GPU enclosures as this is all old to me.
I bought a 8 dollar gpu adapter off ebay and tested it and it works with my hd 5770. Worked on my hp laptop. In heaven benchmark I got about 60 fps on 720p instead of 10 fps

I thought he would say "The answer is.........you don't."
Yeah this is really intended for older gen laptop which does not have thunderbolt.
As exp gdc have few alternatives way to be used, such as the mini Pcie, expresscard and M.2. Most laptop atleast have a wifi card installed on the Pcie slot so you can guarantee it will somewhat work, though you will most likely need ethernet or wifi dongle,
I find that it is quite a hassle for newer gen laptop especially with gpu, since you need to “hotswap” the gpu.
Still it serve as a good alternative to revive older laptop.

I was just watching DIY perks vid on making a laptop into a small desktop unit, this might be a good way to turn a laptop with a busted screen into a decent small form-factor gaming machine
Yessss!!!! Now I can play Purble place on my laptop

8:20 Finally, a solution for my aging problem
6:30 - it's hardly about signal drive strength. I suspect crappy cables without proper bandwidth which cause ISI. Or the reason may be as simple as the total capacitance out of range. Anyway, it's a signal integrity problem
I got a 1080 Ti to work with The Beast on my Gateway Laptop with a 2nd Gen i7. Mine connected through a Micro or mayb it was called Moblile Pci Express Port that my WiFi card was connected to. The PCI-E port ran at PCIE 2.0 X2 speeds. I was able to game on it.
Intel Core i5 7200U
RAM 8GB
Intel HD Graphics 620
So relatable
I3-8130u
6gb of Ram
Intel UHD 620
...that's what my laptop has
@Rohan Andrew i do have a proper gaming machine with a 1050 ti as well, I was just listing off my laptop specs.
@@TomBom292 can you tell me what laptop you have and I need a laptop like yours.
Thanks
@@rubenreut5663 It's an Acer Aspire E 15 E5-576-392H. About one of the cheapest laptops available with these specs.
As someone with a plug in kidney sitting next to his body, I find that analogy not so strange at all (;
edit: fixed spelling
I suppose it is relatable?

Please do a follow up video on this
I had great success with the smart card variety on my enterprise laptop while I was scrimping to build my PC. I bought my GPU, PSU, and the beast first; played on that for about 6 mo waiting for a bonus at work, then bought the rest and assembled the system. I was out $80 for the beast at the end, but it was worth it to play Arma 3 and Fall Out in the interm. Would recommend as a temporary solution if you research on the forums first to verify compatibility and get lucky that it will all work.
Why did you even assemble a pc when the laptop egpu setup worked? :D How much did the frames go up when the GPU was in the PC? I have a Dell Optiplex 390 PC with a GTX 960 in it and a Dell e6430 that i'm thinking of trying out with a egpu setup.

Well some people define "cheap" differently
700$ is fine. It will just set your wallet on fire
why didn't you use the express card adapter? (Yes i'm 2 years late, lol)
Omg I need an updated version of this video
soooooo the solution is to buy a laptop wich has a good gpu already
Diogo Fontes or a desktop...
Or laptops with upgradable/changeable graphics such as Clevo or MSI Titan series often are.
or buy laptop and gigabyte game box :D Much better is wait, save money and get whole gaming laptop. Video is useless or for advertisment purpouse...
Acer predator triton 700 already has a beast gpu😅😅
Some of us have Titan cards laying around.... :)
I had an eGPU GTX760 via Express Card and an od HP Elitebook2760p. It worked, was a lot of work but for 3 years this was the only way for me to play with my friends. You need to research a lot before you go buy it. But there are a lot of informations out there how it works, you can ask in the forums anything they are truely awesome people there. And there are even other brands making this adapter ( the one you were using i only heard bad things back when i set everything up).
But last week I bought a Asus GL503VM with a GTX1060 and its so f*** awesome xD Only cost 1200€ lol
i was thinking this the whole time. thx for uploading this video
You saved me a lot of time I could have wasted in solutions that actually do not work. Thanks very much!
It's been a while since I've binge watched Linus videos, I'm kind of off and on, I'll start binge-watching him for a month or so, lose interest, then come back to him again in like 2 months, but if I wear asked to pick just one thing I love about this channel, is that you keep your intro plugs around 10 seconds long.
While this sounds like an arbitrary thing, it is insanely smart, most phones nowadays allow you to skip 10 seconds if you double tap the right side of your screen really quick, and is what I would assume a lot of us do anytime a sponsor plug is played in a video, we just double tap until we are skipped through it, because we're binge-watching content and want to get to the point, but, most of the time we overshoot or undershoot and have to find where the sponsor plug actually ends, Linus keeping it at 10 seconds on all of his videos means one double tap and we're into the content.

where can i buy an external GPU dock for pcie 3.0 for connecting my AMD Radeon RX 460 2GB to my HP Pavilion 15-cwxxx laptop (it has an AMD Ryzen 5 s500U with vega 8 graphics but i'd like to see about a way to connect my dedicated gpu of my desktop to this laptop)
Full rigs are pricey but everywhere. This is a cheap pcie x16 riser to make one at home
If you are in a pinch to shield a line, you can wrap it with Aluminum Foil Tape, it goes for like 5-10 bucks on amazon.
