For a live dream - Thinkpad T540p external video card

Foreword: I am a junior football dog, usually like to play football, like to play on a football game on a computer game, but my computer has only integrated graphics, although playing with a low distribution is quite smooth, but in order to improve the game Experience, and my computer also comes with an express card interface to an external graphics card, after hesitating for a long time, thinking that you can also take the opportunity to exercise under the hands of the ability to go outside the card this way. After the Internet search, found that the most mature external graphics card program is EXP GDC, because the game is not a video game consumption, so chose the GTX950 this video card. Finally in the X fish out this set of equipment, brand new, 900 or so. Another share of online sharing experience is some of the older models, not my this, so send it to everyone to share.

Next, take a look at my actual combat process, first talk about my entire equipment situation:

Thinkpad installed M.2 version of the Intel 530 SSD solid-state hard drive before (fei) words (hua): I just read the freshman, I thought to match a laptop, and later considered their own requirements: learning, can use Daily software, ordinary programming, etc., are mainly entertainment friends ~~~ but I do not play games, look at movies, so the screen must be bigger, listen to music, brush the web, so the ordinary notebook can meet my Demand it; in addition to the last point: resistance! !

process:

In the beginning my system was win7, but the compatibility was not very good. I had an express card attached to the video card. I couldn't even open the machine properly. Later, I installed the EGPU software, but the yellow label problem (code 12) persisted. Afterwards, I went to the forum and posted several methods on it. I tried them one by one. There was no way. When I was desperate to give up, I thought of a universal method - reinstalling the system.

Then began to reinstall the system, coincides with a latest official version of win10 out, then install it, after installing, have to say, much better than before I installed win10


The picture shows the exp gdc connection diagram, very simple and clear


Then started my tossing road, because I was later partitioned with GPT, egpu that software is naturally not available, it can only bite the bullet and try it, this time plug in the graphics card can be normal boot, But unfortunately, the yellow mark problem still exists

I'm helpless, I can only set things up on the bios, give it a try, just by chance. After an unintentional debugging, I can show the control panel of the graphics card.

I set Total Graphics Memory to 512m from the original 256m

Afterwards, he even called out the graphics control panel.

Device Manager shows no problem

That is not to explain it on it, I re-powered off and then tried to boot, the control panel of the discrete graphics has even disappeared, I thought it would not be so evil, then shut down, enter the bios, do nothing , and then boot, God, even if it can be, is it necessary to enter the BIOS before each can, probably it is, anyway, do not have to install egpu, still not bad.

This way, no matter what, take a look at the live and enjoy the smoothness of high quality.


Before I entered the game, I had adjusted the picture quality to the highest level and it was very clear, but the following things made me dumbfounded: It turned out to be a bit of a card.

Later, I used the tool to view, with integrated graphics in the low mode, most of the time to maintain at 60fps, but with a discrete graphics card, whether it is high or low, regardless of the control panel settings, the frame rate is always 20fps to 23fps Fluctuations, this is very painful. . .

After that, I bought a hub box again, so I can use it even more.


Postscript: Afterwards, I couldn't find any of them. It may be a video card driver problem, and it may be other problems. In short, the actual combat can only be considered semi-successful. The computer recognizes the graphics card and can also use it. However, it is not used well. Please also have experienced friends to give you a way to success.
