Is i7 4510U capable of running with gtx 1080??

[Modestassssss]

Hello guys I am planning to add GTX 1080 as an external gpu to my laptop which is i7 4510U 8gb Ram and 256 SSD drive. My question is Will the CPU handle that graphics card power ? and will ir work full power. I tried it with weaker graphics card and it worked.

thanks for answers!!

No this will not fit into your laptop.

this is a desktop graphics card.

and if you can connect it , a 1060 would be a better deal since your laptop is limited to 1080p

Noo man! I will use it as external graphics card eGPU
there are special docks for this

 

[superninja12]

oonly certain laptops support this its pretty new. and than still u would be overpaying and jsut be better off getting a desktop.

No overpaying !! with this:

there are bunch of youtube videos how to do this and its easy you only need a gpu and power suply the question is can My cpu handle that full power?

and this cpu i7 4510U once its plugged in to power it boosts from 2.0 ghz to 3.1ghz so have that in mind

I would highly recommend NOT using an expensive gpu without an enclosure.

Why not? and still i7 4510U 2.0 ghz with turbo boost to 3.1Ghz , would it be capable of running it?

I was planning to use this: to connect GPU:
V8.0 EXP GDC Beast Laptop External Independent Video Card Dock

I saw bunch of videos in youtube and it works fine

The key to using one of these is whether or not your laptop supports it.

Check your specific laptop model for compatibility.

You're also gonna need a PSU.

Also noticed they do not recommend a 980, you want to put in a 1080?

It's a slow processor for gaming. It's basically a dual core with 4 thread's but it's clocked pretty low (2.9 boost across all 4 cores?)

It won't bottle neck, but I'd imagine you'll run into some fps issues in CPU heavy areas.

You are most likely using an expresscard or mini-pci-e adapter so the card will be running on a pci-e 1x bus so it will get bottlenecked by the slow bus speed long before the cpu come's into play. Very few laptops can work properly with a egpu

Ah...i guessed at thunderbolt enclosure.

Hello guys, I wanted to ask.
I have Intel i7-4510U CPU
Will this proccessor be good with Geforce GTX 1080 graphics card? I am planning to add this as an externall GPU.

So can this proccesor handle this high end graphics card and 4K gaming?


Thank you so much for answers

Using a gpu without an enclosure leaves it very exposed. I'm guessing you don't mind the extra noise, but you will have to clean/dust your gpu much more frequently. It is also completely unprotected against spills or anything else flying through the air. That connector/dock also looks really easy to knock over, which you definitely do not want to do while the gpu is on.

You will also need to buy a gtx 1080 that takes a 6-pin and 8-pin adapters. The website says the "6P" is only for DELL computers. You will need to use both the 6-pin and 8-pin slots for a gtx 1080. Also, the website says that the connection is a mini-pcie and only works at "X1" mode. I can't tell if this is PCI-E 2.0 or 3.0. If its pci-e 2.0, there's almost no point in trying a gtx 1080 as you'll only be able to use a fraction of the processing power of your gpu.

And as other have said about your cpu, its actually a dual-core cpu with 4 threads. In gpu-heavy games, your cpu will bottleneck you first. I know you saw that the turbo boost speed is 3.1ghz, but the max speed for all 4 cores at once is lower.

This will be a very interesting setup for sure. We all know you will have do deal with 2 sources of bottleneck: The interface and the cpu.
I think the major problem will be the interface. But the cpu is not that good either.
