Hello, my good friends.

Went and got myself a ViDock and am wondering what to do in order to counteract that horrible transition form PCIe x16 to PCIe x1.

If I don't know my terminology and am thus confusing you good readers, I am asking how to counteract the performance loss encountered when using an external gpu with a laptop.

Any suggestions.
 


Ah, yes. I've been trying to find that page again. I had forgotten how "inconsequential" the loss was.

Too bad. I had heard TB wasn't much of a solution, at least not one worth putting effort into.

Thanks, Pyree.
