You are the man I added a 970 evo 1tb m2 ssd and a ddr4 8gb stick of ram to my 2019 acer nitro 5 but I think it's time to build my first gaming pc. This laptop really opened my eyes to pc gaming
Congratulations!! There’s so much you can do on a pc. Upgrading is so much easier and really pays off on a desktop system. Even if you don’t game much you can teach yourself how to program by watching tutorials and things like that.
As someone gaiming in 2023 with the old RX560x please get an updated laptop with an updated graphics card because my laptop is verry slow and laggy (inbuilt graphics card)
You’re welcome. I don’t think 800 plus is cheap but I feel what you’re saying. The Nitro still has some kick left and I have a few games I need to run on it. Though the thermals have been crap out of the box, I’ve been pleased with the system as a whole. Glad you’ve found the channel useful. 👍
So promising. I have the nitro 5 but when it came to device and manager there was no microsoft basic display adapter. Additionally, since I'm installing an AMD it is giving me an error 173 (no graphics card detected). So close, yet so far away. I'm pretty new to computer software affairs.
Is this the video you were talking about? I watched a portion of it, but I will come back later and really watch the whole thing. I am very much interested about getting more out of my laptop. I dont know what happened. I had Athem looking gorgeous, running extremely smooth, but I went to the launch bay and all of a sudden I got stutter and lag ever since. I have no idea what happen, but even when I turned graphics and settings down, I still got lag. Basically came out of nowhere. Recently, I went to my old computer, and sent allot of music files to myself in gmail, and uploaded them onto this laptop, could be the reason. But I did updates, and dont seem to be having any problems on other games. AMD went above and beyond with the latest update. They actually put a browser in the driver. I increased settings on the Witcher, and its running smoothly. Something about Anthem though!! Could be a windows update because with computers ya never know! Keep up the good work brozo! I will come back to this video and ya other latest one very soon!
is it possible? im thinking that too, i like laptop because its portable but if i cant do gaming without a external gpu anymore i think its better to buy a PC
Thanks so much it worked but two question 1.Does the heat produced from the computer will effect the wire? 2.Can you use both graphics at the same time?
I've heard of people getting a 20 series card working using this method. You will have to consult the manufacture website to check for supported models. Personally, I would not do it and would just save the money and build a desktop. Prices have really come down since last year.
Others have asked why you didnt use the extra M.2 x4 port in which you said you didnt test because you didnt want to remove your NVME. With that being answered, what speed was the port you connected to, x1, x2 or x4? Using a port at x1-x2 speeds would explain why its not fast enough so if thats the case then im not seeing the justification in this video. I have the new 2020 Acer Nitro 5 [GTX 1650+Ryzen R5) so I plan to use the extra PCIe/M.2 slot to test a RX5500XT or RX580. Im assuming the extra slot is PCIe 3.0 x4.
@@spaia What did u do could you use properly ? I'm thinking to get RX 590 or something maybe i can get lover heat. For now 90 RDR2 40fps after with RX590 maybe i can get 75° and 70fps or something...?
Since the gtx is no longer creating heat, have you noticed a drop in overall CPU temp while playing games? I know both the CPU and GPU are connected to the same cooling system in the Nitro 5
So for disabling the port should it always be the one with x16 because isn't that the port on standard PC's that use graphics cards so that would somewhat apply to the laptop GPU being connected to that port or could the port be different?
Dude, why can't you use the internal monitor. I watched other videos and they are still using it's monitor instead of connecting to external one. Hm, I'm still new with this kind of stuff but as far as I knew, you only need external monitor if you are using amd gpu or gt450s or lower Edit: I think you use the external monitor to maximized your egpu since (I read somewhere) it will increase the performance 5-20% difference compared when using internal monitor (My grammar suck, I know 😂)
" I think you use the external monitor to maximized your egpu since (I read somewhere) it will increase the performance 5-20% difference compared when using internal monitor " and you cannot reroute video from the video card back to the laptop panel.
Yes. Very much. CPU temperature will go very low if you crank up the game Graphics settings. Because all of the gaming stress will be taken over by GPU.
Why didn't u try the m.2 version? And btw i think since both 970 and 1050ti gets installed when installing drivers they cause bandwidth loss while vega 56 is amd card so it won't interfere with the 1050ti... try amd equivalent of 970 and say the results...
True on the driver install. That's why you have to disable the 1050. I dont think ill be purchasing any more hardware for this. It was just a test to see if it works with the Nitro 5.
I really appreciate your hard work and I liked the video. I own the same laptop and I'm more impressed on the COD MW latest one. I installed and story mode works good on low settings but the multiplayer one sucks. I'm thinking of this solution and it would really help me if you can suggest me a good graphics card that I can go with for medium to high graphics level that provides around 60FPS for COD MW. Also please let me know if the external monitor is mandatory. Thanks in advance.
Hi, i have a hp 650 i m trying this thing with exp gdc i bought the rx 470 8gb i think its decent i have 8 gb ram and a i3 2370m and i have only integrated graphics.

Meanpooh my bad, I noticed in tear down video that the other one is different, it has a solid back instead of openings for the ram and hard drive. I think a model that supports nvme RAID would be better. Just throw in a good 1tb nvme and use the other port for an egpu.
If i use this method, will i be able to switch back to my original graphic card? I think to use this stuff for editting and use my original gpu for other work so it can carry away.
You will but this would be kinda messy. You will have to find a way to fit the cable so it will not get ripped out of the machine. You will also have to re enable the graphics card which would get tedious.
I don't know what it completely supports as of now but people have used up to a GTX 1080. Don't spend too much money as you will begin to be bottlenecked by your CPU. You will also be data limited by the interface.
Hello, I am trying to attempt this for my nitro 5 an515-54 could it still work on it? and if so what GPU do you recommend the integrated nvidia gpu is 1650.
i don't think you need any egpu if your integrated is 1650 just add more ram (if your ram is 8gb) and set the graphics to medium or low and you should be fine
@@kitkimagaming6043 ohhhhhh that's why, then apply the egpu (and if it works hopefully) i suggest using 1060 or 1660 (6gb vram) they are somewhat budget friendly and it is capable of running triple a games at high to ultra graphics in my opinion sorry for the late reply

Hi I have a doubt there are bottlenecks with the EGPU, or the port PCI NGFF Is efficient ?
Tried it on my asus rog strix gl531 with rx 580 2048 and hdmi dummy and it works well but unfortunately the bus interface shows only PCIE x16 3.0 @ X1 3.0 . I think something is holding it back, im not sure if its bottlenecking the cpu i5 9300h or maybe the ngff/mpcie/expresscard are simply slow.
Hi this is a nice video, im wondering if i could attach the Egpu to my m.2 nvme ssd slot without having to remove the wifi card? I dont want to remove my wifi card ://
Hey man can you do this on an acer aspire a315-42? I’m gathering all the info possible, either way I’m gonna open the laptop to check for the m.2 port next week as my new ram is arriving.
The device is technically made for machines without any Nvidia, AMD discrete graphics so yes, it should work if you fit that criteria and have the connections.
Wouldn't it deliver a better performance if you connect the dock to the m.2 slot instead? Been thinking about getting an external graphics card for my laptop, I also have a an515, but with a gtx 1050 4gb
Hi there, someone from future here. Did u managed to actually getting one for your laptop ? I think we have the same model, and i kinda want to do this but scare if my laptop not compatible
Yes it’s safe for long run but becomes impractical as time goes on. You will be better off buying a new system when you have the funds. I would consider this life support.
Is it possible to connect a egpu to it's usb port? I don't feel too comfortable taking my laptop apart or is there another way of connecting it without taking it apart
How you doing buddy. I´m following the same steps as you but once I´m installing the driver the nvidia assitant tell me it is unable to install de drivers. I´m trying to install an RTX3080 to my acer nitro 5 with the EXP GDC NGFF/M.2. Thanks in advance!
Nvidia geforce experience also says it cannot install the driver but it isnt even trying. Im using a 2060 and the m.2 version, so the only thing different is that i disabled a pcie lane when you said to instead of the wifi card slot
Ok it worked. I just needed to wait after i rebooted out of safe mode for it to auto install its own drivers, restart, and then run the error 43 fixer(this only applies if you use m.2)
We are having some problems. Once we start inatalling Nvidia Graphics drivers. We cannot open Nvidia Control Panel. :< And we have a Code 34 on our gtx 1070 in Device Manager

No. According to the box, for you to successfully install your 4K60 Pro into your PC, you will need at least a 6th generation Intel Core i7 or an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU or better. You will also need a spare x4/x8/x16 PCIe slot and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 series graphics card or better.
@@Meanpooh Aren't those CPU and GPU requirements there for if you want to get the full potential out of said capture card? What about if you use it to capture at a lower resolution / framerate? I'm currently managing window capture and streaming at 720p60 just fine with my old laptop (i5/default graphics card), why wouldn't it with older consoles and the 4K60? Eventually I would want to integrate the capture card into a proper gaming desktop and use its full potential of course, but I don't have the financial means to put that together yet, hence the question about the (temporary) experiment with the EXP GDC. Tldr; would my laptop recognise the capture card and be functional in the first place?
@@horgoththerelentless261 So basically you want to use your Elgato in the Express slot like a desktop PC without disabling the Intel Graphics card such as the Nvidia or AMD GPU? If this is correct it may work. Getting the computer to detect it would be the only issue but thinking ahead, it shouldn't. You may be able to get away with using a small power supply adapter as it would not use a lot of power like a GPU.
do you use this as your main set up? how is it now? did it shows negative signs? i want to do this on my laptop too. please respond thank you. i want to game on my laptop it has no gpu only intel 620 and it sucks. please tell me if this is your main set up or daily driver. thank you
No, this was just an experiment. Only Negative is that its not portable anymore. You will also be hindered by your cpu if you go high enough in graphics cards.

@@frostybadboyyt2689 Get the version that fits in the M.2 slot if you can. If you use the Wifi Bluetooth version and decide to remove it later, its very easy to break the Wifi antenna.

Just thanks i ave an nitro 5 2018 and y want an egpu and i see its possible Bye gtx 1050 4gb Hello rtx 2060 Sorry for my bad english its because ime french
Yes, its possible. If you happen to get one, get the M.2 version because its faster. IMO I would invest in a desktop or a newer laptop. You can find them at cheap prices at the moment that are much faster than the 1050. It will keep you mobile and less hassle.

If I revisit this, I sure will.
Meanpooh thank you bruh👍
Just curious if this compatible to any graphics card?
I checked the list of compatible gpu
Im not sure. I’ve seen as high as an RTX 2060.
the gpu is limited to 1 or 2 pcie lanes so that's why it's being held back.
M.2 uses up to 4 lanes.
Hey man can you do this on an acer aspire a315-42? I’m gathering all the info possible, either way I’m gonna open the laptop to check for the m.2 port next week as my new ram is arriving.
The device is technically made for machines without any Nvidia, AMD discrete graphics so yes, it should work if you fit that criteria and have the connections.
@@Meanpooh Any toughts on the xfx 570 4gb? I couldn´t find anything about which kind of an amd grapich card to use.
Is it absolutely necessary to use an external monitor?
Yes.
ik this video is a while ago but can you use a usb to ethernet adapter secondly which EXP GDC should i get for 4060 card
Will this work with an RTX 2060?
Yes.
Are you disable your boot to lan at BIOS setting? And it is a must connect to external display?
Yes.
Meanpooh oh okkk tqvm ☺️👍🏻
Which graphics cards support ngff
What about the M.2 port? The eGPU work if i plug in it?
Yes, just make sure to get that version. Its faster.
Really late here but do you think that an overclocked 1070ti will bottleneck on the i5 9300h model? Thanks
No, it shouldn't.
@@Meanpooh nice, thanks mate
@@hf2848 No Problem.
Wouldn't it deliver a better performance if you connect the dock to the m.2 slot instead? Been thinking about getting an external graphics card for my laptop, I also have a an515, but with a gtx 1050 4gb
Yes.
Hi there, someone from future here. Did u managed to actually getting one for your laptop ? I think we have the same model, and i kinda want to do this but scare if my laptop not compatible
@@YusrilIhzaM if it has a m.2 slot or pci (it surely has), it is compatible. I ended up getting a pc actually
should it run with msi laptop?
Hi! I hope you can help me. Can this be also done with Asus x555l? Do you how I can modify the asus bios to use an external gpu? Please 🥺 thank you
So acer nitro 5 has thunderbolt 3 support?
i have a question if i have two sata drives on my alienware could i get an m.2 adapter to hookup would that work so i dont use my wifi card?
Can i use rtx 3060 in exp gdc beast v8.4 ngff?
My laptop is lenovo ideapad flex 5 15 with ryzen 7 5700u 16 gb ram 512 ssd
My nitro 5 has an i59300 gtx 1650 and 24gb ram.....this was cool but I’m good
Ugh....mx150 GPU is upgradable without external gpu..... right??
No.
will it work just for the laptop, no external monitor?
No.
is this safe if used for the long term? , Cause ihave read an article laptop carsh after six month.
Yes it’s safe for long run but becomes impractical as time goes on. You will be better off buying a new system when you have the funds. I would consider this life support.
Is it possible to connect a egpu to it's usb port? I don't feel too comfortable taking my laptop apart or is there another way of connecting it without taking it apart
no.
@@Meanpooh alright good to know guess I will save the egpu thing for when I'm more familiar with computers lol
bro can u provide a new link for the dock , I couldn't find one when I search online there are like 100 different ones
How you doing buddy. I´m following the same steps as you but once I´m installing the driver the nvidia assitant tell me it is unable to install de drivers. I´m trying to install an RTX3080 to my acer nitro 5 with the EXP GDC NGFF/M.2. Thanks in advance!
Link for dell adapter is missing can u paste a new one?
will a external sata through usb work, will there a loss in performance?
No, it will not work.
My 1050ti keeps reenabling itself when I restart the computer
Nvidia geforce experience also says it cannot install the driver but it isnt even trying. Im using a 2060 and the m.2 version, so the only thing different is that i disabled a pcie lane when you said to instead of the wifi card slot
Ok it worked. I just needed to wait after i rebooted out of safe mode for it to auto install its own drivers, restart, and then run the error 43 fixer(this only applies if you use m.2)
Congrats.
We are having some problems. Once we start inatalling Nvidia Graphics drivers. We cannot open Nvidia Control Panel. :< And we have a Code 34 on our gtx 1070 in Device Manager

Hello we have the same laptop, can i use gtx 1660ti for exp gdc?
Im sure you could. Just make sure to use the M.2 version of the adapter.
Last question meanpooh, can i use rx5700xt on this one? Thank u and more power to ur channel
you think I could use the EXP GDC with a gaming capture card such as the Elgato 4K60 Pro Mk.2 instead of a GPU?
No. According to the box, for you to successfully install your 4K60 Pro into your PC, you will need at least a 6th generation Intel Core i7 or an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU or better. You will also need a spare x4/x8/x16 PCIe slot and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 series graphics card or better.
@@Meanpooh Aren't those CPU and GPU requirements there for if you want to get the full potential out of said capture card? What about if you use it to capture at a lower resolution / framerate? I'm currently managing window capture and streaming at 720p60 just fine with my old laptop (i5/default graphics card), why wouldn't it with older consoles and the 4K60? Eventually I would want to integrate the capture card into a proper gaming desktop and use its full potential of course, but I don't have the financial means to put that together yet, hence the question about the (temporary) experiment with the EXP GDC.
Tldr; would my laptop recognise the capture card and be functional in the first place?
@@horgoththerelentless261 So basically you want to use your Elgato in the Express slot like a desktop PC without disabling the Intel Graphics card such as the Nvidia or AMD GPU? If this is correct it may work. Getting the computer to detect it would be the only issue but thinking ahead, it shouldn't. You may be able to get away with using a small power supply adapter as it would not use a lot of power like a GPU.
@@Meanpooh was wondering if you could get back to me (mostly curious still about the PSU question)? Thanks!
low fps because of the bottleneck or because of egpu for all ?
Both, slow CPU as well as not enough bandwidth for GPU using current connection.
@@Meanpoohwhat is your openion of i7 4900mq and gtx 1660 , i will face bottleneck and low fps??
which port should i disable ? only Intel XEON E3 Gaussian Mixture ?
do you use this as your main set up? how is it now? did it shows negative signs? i want to do this on my laptop too. please respond thank you. i want to game on my laptop it has no gpu only intel 620 and it sucks. please tell me if this is your main set up or daily driver. thank you
No, this was just an experiment. Only Negative is that its not portable anymore. You will also be hindered by your cpu if you go high enough in graphics cards.
@@Meanpooh do you think rx470 is ok with i5 8265u? i only play csgo dota gta r6. i kinda wanna do this thing in my laptop as my rig. what do you think? do you think it is a good idea?
@@frostybadboyyt2689 That combo will work good together. Do you already have the GPU? Does your machine have a M.2 slot?
@@Meanpooh i have the gpu and power supply. but i dont have the gdc8.0 i havent ordered it yet. i also have the m.2 slot with m.2 sata and windows on it. but also have extra space for ssd. what can you recommend to me of what i should do.
@@frostybadboyyt2689 Get the version that fits in the M.2 slot if you can. If you use the Wifi Bluetooth version and decide to remove it later, its very easy to break the Wifi antenna. The M.2 version is also faster having a wider bandwidth. This version will also cause you to relocate Windows to SATA.
so can you not use the laptop screen and monitor at the same time with the gpu in? :/
You can use it like an external monitor. Extend the desktop or mirror it.
Bro..my laptop system devices has not having pcie controller..can it work after disable the old graphics driver inside laptop?
I was thinking of setting up an eGPU for my HP pavilion 15 gaming laptop (ec0098ax) which has a Ryzen 5 3550H and Nvidia gtx1050 of 3gb. Is it possible to? Also, just wondering if I could set it up without removing the wi-fi card by using the empty SSD slot, but I don't know what must be done for it. Can you advise me on how to?
I'm sure it will work but the prices have shot up really high. You will need this version if you can find it.

You will also have to be able to disable your graphics chipset as I did in the video.
Excuse me, I follow your video, step by step. But my vga is not detected. Can you help me? I use exp gdc v8.5, ngff connector, gtx 1660ti, and my laptop is gigabyte sabre 15
Why can't the Dell AC adapter run newer cards?
I would say its a power thing.
I’m getting no display adapter coming up
Can you tell me if this same setup will work for 3000+ cards?
I can't say but I do know that there is an updated model so maybe that model may work.
@Meanpooh Thank you. I just went and bought a new PC with 3060 in it 😀
You're better off picking that option. Congrats on your new purchase.
@Meanpooh I appreciate your post. I got Nitro 50 with 12th Gen i5 and stx 3060 video card. I just need to install a liquid processor cooler in it before I start pushing it too hard with VR games.
Can I use a 144hz monitor, using gpu DisplayPort?
Yes.
I just can't use the both video cards?
no
Just thanks i ave an nitro 5 2018 and y want an egpu and i see its possible
Bye gtx 1050 4gb
Hello rtx 2060
Sorry for my bad english its because ime french
Yes, its possible. If you happen to get one, get the M.2 version because its faster. IMO I would invest in a desktop or a newer laptop. You can find them at cheap prices at the moment that are much faster than the 1050. It will keep you mobile and less hassle.
Ok thanks for the advice
And i ave an M.2 on my nitro is just used by my litle ssd
Its not a problème but i ave 2 storage space in it: an ssd and an hdd
@@rodolphecolson1366 did u get it and try it ?
Can I upgrade my laptop acer nitro 5 core i5 8th gen with a GTX 2060 6gb?
Yes, there are people out there with it working.
Can you use your dedicated and egpu together?
No.
No
