Is it possible to configure the external GPU through PCI-Express using a networking card on an Asus n46vm notebook?
My notebook is an Asus N46VM with a powerful i7-3610QM processor. It comes with 60m GT 60m RAM, a 4x2 GB DDR3 memory module, and a 480GB Kingston SSD. I also have an external VGI monitor connected via SATA. While the performance is impressive, the graphics card imposes significant limitations. Portability isn’t a concern here since this device stays put, and I have ample storage space. Finding online guides or documentation for this model is difficult, so I’m seeking advice from experts. The PCI-E express slot is currently occupied by my networking card. I’m considering connecting an external GPU, possibly a 1050TI or GTX960, but I want to know if my system supports it. Additionally, I’m curious about the impact of non-Thunderbolt GPU setups and would appreciate recommendations for a suitable dock, GPU, and power supply combination. OBS: Budget is tight and parts are costly in my area. This setup was the most viable option I could imagine.
I haven't received positive feedback on external GPUs. However, time may have brought about changes.
