![]() ![]() I wand to try to buy adapter and gpu You must log in or register to reply here. Do you know if putting an external graphic card on a Toshiba Satellite C660 would work (windows 10)? The mini PCie is located under the key board. the cheaper DIY option is probably the more better choice, but if simply opening a laptop already scared you, the technical aspect of a DIY eGPU may not be for you.if you want to play games & you got $500-600 to spend, the real sensible & practical option is consider a desktop. add in the cost/performance problem, and you're looking at spending a whole lot of cash on a ViDock GTX780 just to get a GPU that performs as well as a GTX760. you don't take it around with you a lot, this means it won't actually be portable no more. unless this laptop is more of a replacement desktop i.e. the i5-3317U uses a BGA socket, so you're limited to upgrading the RAM & HDD/SSDhttp/the only other solution really is an external GPU, though being a modern laptop, i doubt it has an express card slot, leaving you with the mini-PCIe, usually accommodated by the wifi adapter. 1 J johnclein Commendable 1 0 1,510 0 #5 Hazle : no to the GPU & no to what Turke圓_scratch is suggesting that is upgrading the CPU. ![]() 0 H Hazle Distinguished 45 0 18,610 7 #4 no to the GPU & no to what Turke圓_scratch is suggesting that is upgrading the CPU.

So I looked at the market of mobile graphics cards.Before I consider anything, I would like to know if my laptop can use a dedicated graphics card, and of it can, I would like to know of any limitations so that I buy the right card the first time.If the graphics card can be upgraded, I have about $70 to spend on a card. I am now starting to realize that I need more graphics power than the Intel HD Graphics 4000 unit the laptop currently has can offer, and my CPU gets extremely hot when I run any strenuous task.
