Question about External GPUs.

[davis_watts1234]

Hello.
I am getting a new laptop (Dont have a specific model sorry), it is an HP with 8gbs ram and a 1tb hdd, and an a6-5200m cpu (with a radeon HD8400). If i get an external PCIE adapter with a decent level graphics card (r7 360, gtx 1050) would it actually be compatible?
Thanks
The EGPU in mind is https://www.amazon.com/Fixable-Adapter-Flexible-Extension-Connector/dp/B00IMYODGS/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1481267386&sr=1-7&keywords=eGPU

It uses a pcie x1 interface and is designed for low power draw peripherals, plus a laptop is unlikely to have a pcie slot. Lots of reasons. Look at the buyer questions on product page. If your laptop has a thunderbolt port you may be able to use an egpu but it's still v new and experimental technology.

IIRC the laptop has an MPCIE port, usually ocupied by a wireless card, but i believe the laptop has 2 MPCIE ports (ill check), so there is the port solution. The low power i understand, but i would believe it would get most of its power from the EGPU dock itself, using the other powersupply?
