maximum graphics card for intel celeron n2840

[br3nd1985]

Hello, guys!

I want to connect an exterior graphics adapter to my laptop. I have intel celeron n2840 processor 2.16 Ghz and I am wondering, what video adapter will suite my laptop.
I did read alredy on the forum, that it is something like nvidia geforce gtx 750 ti, but I still doubt it.
Firstly, may be it is too much for the n2840 processor and the processor will not allow the gtx 750 ti to perform on it`s top speed. Secondly, may be I can attach more graphics power, than gtx 750 ti, I mean, something like maxwell series graphics adapters or even pascal 1060 6 gb.

Thanks in advence for your help with sorting my query

The 750Ti is maxwell core.
While you may attach any gpu that will work with the limited pcie connectivity, which we have yet to determine that you even have, a 1060 will be bottlenecked by your processor.

Which exact laptop do you have?

Thanks a lot for your answer.
I have Acer aspire ES1-111M

Ok, your wifi card is socketed so this is do-able. You will need to cut a hole in your case since the laptop does not have any access ports to easily get to the wifi slot.

I would not bother with anything if you have the model that only has 32gb of storage space.

If you have the hard drive version then while you're in there, I recommend you replace the cpu thermal paste (2 screws iirc) and upgrade to 8gb of ram (which is on the other side of the little motherbd). Swapping to an ssd would be nice but with the total upgrades cost increasing you could have just gotten better laptop to start with...

This is a decent little notebook once you get rid of all the bloatware.

Yes, I thought to make an aperture somewhere in the case for the interface. And yes, I have a 32-gb eMMC version, so is it possible to upgrade RAM somehow? I didn`t dismantle the laptop yet. And is the GeForce gtx 1060 6 gb is the maximum video adapter I can connect to the laptop to play on the adapter`s full speed?

I do not beleive that processor would be able to run that GPU near its full potential. But your welcome to spend your money any way you want. You can run a gtx1080 externally if you wish to spend that kind of money...

Don't forget you will need a power supply to run the GPU.

Another thing to consider before you begin is the minimum requirements of the games you want to play. Your cpu is not intended as a gaming CPU and many games will not install if you cannot meet those minimum requirements.

Yes the ram is upgradable. Its on the other side of the little motherbd so be careful with all the connectors. If you break one then repair costs might be more then the cost of the notebook.

Have you considered a gtx1050?

 

[br3nd1985]

Yes, I did consider GeForce gtx 1050, but I hope I can handle gtx 1060, because gtx 1060 shows good fps in cs go - not less, than about 120 on ultra settings on asus rog laptops. But, I think, that my laptop will not show such good results, - that`s why I am asking for an advice about it.
gtx 1050 ti 4 gb sometimes gives an fps in cs go lower, than 100 ( 90 to be exact ) and it is just 100 euros cheaper, than gtx 1060. So if my laptop can show 120-150 fps in cs go, I would spend 300 bucks on a gtx 1060 willingly.
By the way, if to choose from the cheap options, then NVidia geforces gtx 660 4gb or 750 ti 4 gb are very good options. I have gtx 660 with intel i5 on my desktop pc and the fps in cs go is alright.
What is what I really do not know is what is the maximum video power I can install on the intel Celeron n2840 2,16 ghz

I wouldn't bother with anything more than a GTX 1050 and even that is likely to be bottlenecked by the CPU and/or the interface you use to connect the external enclosure, as I doubt such a cheap laptop has Thunderbolt or USB 3.1 Gen 2 support. The Celeron N2840 is a glorified Atom CPU, it's an ultra low power chip aimed at tablets and extreme low end laptops eg. Chromebooks or $200 Windows laptops positioned to compete against the Chromebooks. Anything beyond basic web browsing, word processing and video playback is likely too much for that CPU. Frankly, you're better off saving up more money and buying a better laptop if you need gaming capabilities on such a device.

Don't even bother.
Your CPU is so underpowered, that any GPU will be severely hampered by it.
That CPU is basically tablet level.

I'm currently fixing up an HP laptop with a Celeron n3030, and it is very underpowered.
A real GPU will make zero difference in any games you would wish to play with it.


Even in the unlikely event your laptop has the proper connections for an eGPU.

Your laptop needs a whole new laptop.

I did try to play cs 1.6 and red alert 3 on this laptop and it is not too bad. The minimum fps in cs 1.6 is 20, - that`s when about 4 bots are near me, so I thought to improve the situation a little bit. My laptop, I guess, has n mPCI port, - that`s how I think to connect an exterior interface to it. The interface itself is dirt cheap on aliexpress and gtx 750 is about 100 bucks.
Okay, Pascal is not an option for my "worst buy ever" laptop. Now the question is: will I get more fps in cs 1.6 if I will connect Maxwell generation graphics adapter?
Buy the way, thanks for your guesses and answers, you are very helpful, I am saying this without a sarcasm.

Probably not Maxwell would be bottlenecked way to much but a 750ti should be fine but will still be bottlenecked a bit due to the low core counts and low clock speeds but I used to use a 750ti with a Pentium and that worked well maybe it will work well for you
