Can i install an external gpu on lenovo y50-70. Also is it worth is? And do i always need a PSU

expect it to perform like a 1040, if that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense. Too many people expect to turn a medium laptop into a hotrod desktop.

What people don't realize is that when plugging an eGPU in over USB or Type c the data it sends out has to travel to the CPU, the way it does that is through the southbridge (normally) which is very slow, so you want to use a port that's connected over the PCI-E bus, much much faster. Even then its like running a GPU in a 1x slot on a motherboard, not the best since those cables can't physically care more data.

well i wanna get that enclosure bcuz i have a y50-70 which has a pretty good cpu and not bad ram. But i fcked up the main gpu, the 860M and now im stuck with an intel hd4600. And im planning to get a pc for the long run, so if i get the gpu now, ill be able to atleast play something while i save up to a pc

your taking that approach a bit backwards lol, most people will build a PC and not get a GPU and use integrated graphics for a bit until they can find a GPU at a good price.

well what can i fcking play on an intel 4600. Ive been stuck with this * intel graphics for 5months almost 6
I thiink i neeeeeeeed a fcking relief

I'm not saying your approach is bad, just different. I get what you mean I game on integrated graphics too. Here's the difference, ive been gaming on integrated graphics my whole life

hah yeah. ive been used to my nvidia gpu and used to playing high end games. But now its just weird not having a "decent" gpu. And i cant wait anymore man, i just want to finish this as quick as possible 😀


also what are your thoughts on the new 2000 series gtx and also will the price of the 1080 go down, so i go with a 1080? Or whould it stay the same. Also what whould it do the 1050ti's price?

I get your pain, i've been saving for a PC for years and with the prices of GPU's rn I can't afford to build one. I believe the new 2000 series cards are based on Volta right? They should be pretty fast, however I don't think the prices for the 1080 will gown down. Well, MSRP will go down but since the prices are double and in some cases almost tripple MSRP because of mining, so the prices may drop but not much over 20 dollars i'd say. The 1050 Ti would probably drop a bit since its a fairly low end card being at the other end of the scale from the 1070's and 1080, the cards more people use to mine like RX 480 RX 580 1070 1070 ti 1080 and 1080 ti wont go down much because people still want them, but the price for the new cards will skyrocket also.

Alright, also any recommendations for a gpu thats under 200bucks? And thats better then a 1050ti?

Unless you buy used, you aren't going to get anything faster than a 400-500 dollar card for half its price. I would look around on eBay and Craigslist and try and find some good used stuff, just make sure it wasn't used for mining since miners often brick the firmware on cards to get them to run faster since they don't need the cards to last for a few years.
