i5 5200U + external vcard gtx 1050ti or 1060?

[Guest]

Is it ok to buy external vcard for my i5 5200U? because I have small budget to upgrade or buy something but if it's works well or will not cause problem then I will buy the vcard and also the external pcie mini for my laptop and replace my wifi there. It will bottleneck right but what will happen

No point going higher than 1050 ti, as your cpu is dual core low power.

so it's ok for 1050 ti only not 1060? thank you for reply my friend and does bottleneck hurt my cpu or its ok?

Should be just fine.

1060 would be bottlenecked by your CPU. Bottlenecks dont hurt anything, its just whatever is limiting the performance.

If the laptop wasn't designed for an external GPU the interface is whats likely to end up being the bottleneck. The mini pci-e slot the wifi card uses most likely only runs at 1x speeds.

Yeah I have seen them in action, the bottleneck isnt too bad when the gpu is on the lower end.
