Hi all, I found this post on eGPUs (external GPUs) and I thought I would share it with the list:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/418851-diy-egpu-experiences.html The post seems to imply that the eGPU could be treated like a dedicated graphics card similar to the switchable graphics systems out there: 8. My system has switchable graphics. Can I still do a eGPU? Spoiler : Yes you can. Setup 1.x's (Video card->Hybrid Graphics.dedicated=off) allows the dedicated graphics component to be completely disabled on Series-5 or older chipsets, freeing up 32-bit resources to host the desktop eGPU. If your primary video card is a Intel 4500MHD, HD or HD3000 then can even do a x1.Opt NVIDIA setup. On a related note, the new sony-vaio-z-series laptops come with an integrated Intel card and a eGPU thunderbolt system. Hopefully we will have a bumblebee-like solution for such configurations in the future. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux Post to : hybrid-graphics-linux@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
