Connect a External GPU with my laptop?

[Najam Ul Haq]

Hello,

I have a HP Envy M6 1207tx with 3rd Gen i7, 8 GB RAM also 2 GB 7670M. I'm looking forward to install an external gpu with this laptop, problem is that I don't know whether I have a free PCI-Express slot in it or not. Since I'm new to hardware, Please help me how can I know it is possible or not.

Regards

Very few laptops have capabilities for such docking style setups and your laptop is not one of them. It is not possible with an hp envy m6.

The system has no express card slot so that way won't work. It does have a mini pci-e port but thats where the wireless card is installed so it would have to be removed and it's possible the case would need to be modded to fit the cable. So its is possible but a complete waste of time and money. The mini-pci-e slot runs at 1x and will severely bottleneck any decent card to the point where its not worth the effort and cost.

since I have not enough money to setup up a new gaming rig, can you guys tell me which gpus can run on PCI E 1x ?

I think you missed the point of my post. Even if you got a the fastest single gpu on the market(Titan X) with the bottleneck it would be slower than your 7670m.

Nvidia gpu require at least 8x and amd cards require 4x so it would be possible even if the Motherboard supported it.
