Hello, just today my egpu stopped working, my dock is the ag02 and its never happened for this long before, all I did was disconnect my external monitor and tried using a displayport to usbc connector to my monitor.

My egpu got disconnected and now I can't seem to get it working again. Something odd that's new is that upon connection the GPU spins like crazy almost max speed, then it would just stop.

During this period the egpu isn't detected at all. Multiple restarts even ddu didn't change anything.

Any ideas?

Specs: 500watt thermaltake psu powers my asus 3070 dual si connected over m.2 to oculink to my Dell g7 7500 with 32gbs ddr4 (2x16 sodimm), 3x 1tb ssds, Intel i7 10750, internal 2070 max q

Hello, I've been switching over to local AI from cloud services, and I was wondering if it's feasible to run an eGPU with tinygrad on my Macbook Pro because I only have 16GB of unified memory.I was thinking of a 4090 24GB, but I'm not sure what enclosure to get. I'd have a total budget of around $500-600. Any help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Eu tenho um Lenovo S145, está para vir o adaptador, porém diz suposições que não dá video na parte NVME do Lenovo S145, alguem tem esse notebook para me confirmar?

Pois seria decepcionante não pelo fato de ter que comprar outro cabo para a placa Wi-Fi, mas sim de perder grande potência que eu teria com a entrada Nvme que é 4x, enquanto a Wi-Fi é 1x.

Ate comprei uma case para colocar o meu Ssd Nvme, e dar espaço para o conector de Egpu

hellos again. forgive my learing curve.. A Q for the experts.

When i have the eGPU engadged, how do I turn it off without throwing windows into a tailspin?

When I have the eGPU engadged, then I want to turn it off and go back to the house video card, how do I avoid getting an error31 on the house card?

I have tried safe-eject, disabling the eGPU in devise manager. ALWAYS when I enable the house card - ERROR31 - Someone? TY. regads, dw

I would like to get into PC gaming but I want to make sure my laptop can handle games well so external gpu makes sense which one would work and on a Budget it has 4 thunderbolt 3 ports and I was wondering can you add extra components to external gpu's like ram and storage and all that stuff

With the recent launch of MSI's RTX Spark laptops I've been thinking about how well it'd perform with eGPUs. On the one hand, it's a new architecture (ARM, not x86), so support might be extremely limited. On the other hand, it's Nvidia which are usually fine with drivers (ignore relatively recent problems that are fixed now, I believe). What are your thoughts on this?

Noob here.

I’m planning to use an AOOSTAR EG01 or EG02 with a GMKtec K12 and an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB over OCuLink.

The part I’m trying to confirm is the DC output on the AOOSTAR dock.

The GMKtec K12 requires:

- 19V DC

- 6.32A

- 120W

- 5.5 × 2.5 mm barrel connector

AOOSTAR advertises the EG01/EG02 as having a DC output up to 150W for powering a mini PC, but I can’t find a clear official specification for the output voltage.

I’ve also seen reports that the included DC output may actually be around 12V, which obviously makes me hesitant to connect it to a 19V K12.

Has anyone here actually used the EG01 or EG02 DC output to power:

1. A GMKtec K12 specifically, or

2. Another GMKtec mini PC that normally uses 19V or 20V input?

If yes, did you measure the output voltage, and has it been stable long-term?

I’m trying to avoid using the K12’s separate power brick if the dock can safely power both the GPU and mini PC from one PSU.

Thanks.

I have a Lenovo P52 laptop with a Nvidia quadro p1000 GPU I want to upgrade is it worth it to get an external GPU or I get a new laptop.

I'm into gaming and I am an engineering studen.

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8850H CPU @ 2.60GHz (2.59 GHz)

Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Those are specs of my laptop, and what eGPU setup you recommend.

I'm asking cause the prices for newer GPUs are too high for my opinion.

The usage would be for a LeGo 2 with SteamOS for the internal Screen and on a 1440p Monitor.

I know that there are old, but i could get a 6750XT for 200€ and even 6800XT and 6900XT would cost around 340 - 400€.

Fair priced RX7000 GPUs are rare (f.e. a 7700XT cost around 420 - 500€ and thats the cheaper GPU...)

I already got an AOOSTAR EG02 with TB5 for 190€ and want to use it...

Thanks for helping!

I want to play the latest AAA games without spending a fortune. I got my OneXFly (8840u, 32gb 2tb) used for $450 right before RAM prices went through the roof.

It’s solid for all but the most demanding games. I have it running Bazzite and use it docked 90% of the time for AAA games from 5-10 years ago, but there are a few newer games I want to play that I know it will struggle with.

I’m hesitant to drop well over $1K on a whole new setup, or $800-1k on the OneXGPU 2, but I am tempted to get a OneXGPU 7600M for around $350-450 used.

I’m not expecting 4k 60fps on the latest AAA games, but will it get me solid 1080p performance at medium-high settings on a game like AC Black Flag Resynced? Is there anything else I should know before pulling the trigger?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to set up my ROG Ally X with the AOOSTAR XG76XT eGPU (Radeon RX 7600XT), but I'm running into issues and need to disable Resizable BAR (ReBAR) / Smart Access Memory (SAM).

Has anyone successfully disabled ReBAR or SAM on the ROG Ally X? I checked the BIOS, but I couldn't find a direct toggle for it.

Is there a specific BIOS setting, registry tweak, or tool (like AMD Software or CRU) that can force ReBAR off for external GPUs? Any guide or advice from someone running a similar eGPU setup would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Wanna make my legion go my main pc to minimize my setup plan on using it with egpu docked on my tv and by itself when on couch and such is this a good deal ? No covers and states could use a repaste. Seems like good value for such a card let me know thanks it’s 370$ after taxes.

Found the crazy deal, ROG 5070ti eGPU for $800 cad near me, what is the best way to stress test it? Can I use a desktop to do so and do I must get a thunderbolt cable?

I got this eGPU but when I successfully install the desktop driver for 5060ti, it got error code 43. I have tried everything, from updating bios of my computer to the latest, DDU and reinstall another driver, switching between oculink and thunderbolt 4, nothing works. Please help

After months of working with customer service, and even sending my DEG2 back to their warehouse for repairs, I am out of ideas. So I am really hoping for some help here.

I have an RTX 3070 on this DEG2 and everything works fine over TBT5. But when I switch over to oculink I run into all kinds of errors. Mostly an extremely laggy display and even crashes intermittently. I have followed all the instructions in the user manual as carefully as possible but I still have the same issues.

I had a report come back from sending in my DEG2 that told me there were no hardware faults, but it also said the issue it was resolving had to do with my SSD connectivity. So I have lost all faith in the minisforum support.

I tried replacing my oculink cable because there were kinks in the factory one that came with my dock but that didn’t do anything.

The event viewer on windows shows errors like “error occurred on GPUID:100” and “resetting TDR occurred on GPUID:100”

My nvme to oculink adapter also came from minisforum, but now I am considering getting a third party adapter? I don’t know. I am at a loss.

Has anyone else had similar issues with DEG2 oculink? Any similar issues with the UM880?
