How to Setup eGPU for Lenovo Laptop - NGGF Version

How to Setup eGPU on Lenovo Laptop – NGFF Version

Hello every buddy, Setup eGPU !! This is the topic which peoples are extremely searching for, to get the final answer how to successfully setup external graphics card on laptop. In this article i will clear all the doubt about eGPU , how to setup and what products you need.

First talk about is this real ?? It works ?? Can you put a desktop graphics card on my laptop externally with eGPU dock ?? The answer is only one, Yes you can do it using Exp Gdc Laptop External Independent Video Card Dock. Its a Chinese device which works with a GPU and Power Supply (PSU), its easily available to buy on banggood.com (Best Bang for your Luck) and it comes in 5 different versions for different types of laptop.




This article is based on Lenovo laptop, but its also helpful for other laptop’s brand. There is only a little difference in the installation process for other laptops. I am using Lenovo G50-70 laptop for an example, you can do same with your ones. First see how to find your laptop is compatible for the eGPU setup, find the following things:

Step 1: Turn on your laptop and open BIOS. (Bios key for Lenovo Laptops are “NOVO Button” or FN + F2)

Step 2: In the Bios find these options, Graphic Device – UMA, Graphic Mode-Integrated, PXE Boot to LAN or Network Boot. If one of these option is available inside the bios then your laptop is easily ready for eGPU setup. Just needed to disable these settings in the bios.

Disable PXE BOOT to LAN

Step 3: If these options are not available in bios, then you have to go with the hard way. You need to use a software called DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to avoid hardware conflicts.

Step 4: Done with the Bios ! Now you need to disassemble your laptop to find WiFi LAN card inside your laptop. (This is on your luck, some times you will find it by just opening the access door of laptop. Some time its below the laptop keyboard or some times you have to open the whole laptop to find the LAN card.)

Step 5: Once you find the Wifi LAN card, now match the card with the following image:

Types of Wifi LAN CARD

Step 6: If your LAN card looks like any of above, then you can order (Buy) the same version of  EXP GDC Dock online. Some Laptop have other options too, such as Express Card slot, M.2 Slot you can check all of those versions and their prices from below:

Exp Gdc eGPU Dock comes in 5 different versions, Select one of them for your Laptop.

 

Congratulation !! You got huge discount exclusively from Banggood.com , Use this Coupon Code: PCNetwork to get 12% off on Mini PCI-E Dock and use Coupon Code: a43312 to get 15% off on NGFF Version eGPU dock.

Which Graphics Card should i use for eGPU ??

There are bunch of different Graphics Card (GPU) available on market, they are made to used in  Desktop computers. Using them as eGPU using Exp Gdc dock, you need to have attention at this point. Some GPU are not quite compatible with the dock (Specially 10 Series GPU). I will leave a list of supported GPU below both NVIDIA and AMD, but don’t trust them they works differently in different laptops.




In my experience i installed Asus ROG GTX 1060 6GB GPU on Dell Inspiron n4010, it worked well here is the Dell Laptop eGPU Video. But same Card did not worked in my Lenovo G50-70 Laptop, Yes this is truth. So i tried GTX 760 2GB in Lenovo laptop and i got success, find that video some where below in this article. I am putting some graphics card links which i trust:

Here are some list of graphics card recommended officially

Nvidia Graphics Cards: GTX650 GT740 GTX650Ti GTX750 GTX750Ti GTX650Ti BOOST GTX660 GTX660Ti GTX760 GTX670 GTX680 GTX770 GTX780 GTX970 GTX Titan, GTX780Ti, Titan Black GTX980 GTX690 GTX Titan Z, GTX980 2SLI, GTX980 3SLI, GTX980 4SLI

AMD Graphics Cards: R7 250 HD7750 HD7770, R7-260X, HD7850 R9-270 HD7870 R9-270X HD7950 R9-280 R9-285 HD7950-B HD7970 R9-280X HD7950-B R9-290 R9-290X HD7990 R9-295X2

Special Tip: You can also search USED graphics card on ebay, Check out now: ebay.com

What about Bottleneck ?? Check yours Now: https://pc-builds.com/calculator/

Warning: It is NOT compatible with GT1030, GTX1050, GTX1050TI, GTX1060TI, GTX1070TI, GTX1080TI.

Which Power Supply Do i Use for eGPU ??

To run a single Graphics card we don’t need any powerful PSU like we use in gaming desktop , the official recommended PSU is starts with 250W. But i will recommend at least 450w of any brand, you can go for the cheap or the expensive one doesn’t matter to run a single GPU.

But if you are using a high end GPU which have extra supplementary socket (6 x 2 or 8 x 2) then you have to take care while buying a PSU, make sure it have those extra PCI connectors. I used a cheap PSU which costs around $17 (USD) / ₹1200 (INR) and it have those connectors, see images below:

GPU Extra Suplimentry Power Socket
This Graphics Card have 2 Extra Supplementary Power Socket
Extra Power Connectors
This PSU have 8 x 2 (6 x 2 Convertable) Power Connectors

So you need an EXP GDC eGPU Dock, Graphics card and a Power supply to complete the setup. These 3 items are mandatory for the setup, in secondary you may be need a WiFi USB adapter because dock will be connected to the laptop instead of the WiFi LAN card. One wireless mouse keyboard also useful to this setup to get the desktop feel.

Select a Power Supply Unit according your Graphics Card Wattage capacity.

EXP GDC eGPU Setup on Lenovo Laptop (NGFF Version)

Once you collected all the required items, now you have to put those items on a table. Make sure you have good electricity, otherwise use a UPS or Inverter. OK, you are ready for the eGPU setup follow these steps:




Step 1: Turn on your laptop and download the graphic card driver which you are going to use in this setup.

  • NVIDIA Driver Download Page
  • AMD Driver Download Page

Step 2: Go to bios setup and Disable PXE BOOT to LAN in Boot tab. (For Lenovo Laptop)

Step 3: Remove your laptop’s battery and open the back door to find the WiFi LAN card.

WiFi LAN card Unplugged
This is a NGFF LAN card of Lenovo G50-70

Step 4: Once you found it unplug it using a screw driver, cover the WiFi wires with tape for safety purpose.

Step 5: Plug the HDMI to NGFF cable to the laptop instead of the LAN card and tight it with screw.

Plug The eGPU Cable

Step 6: Now try to adjust the Back door of laptop to way out the wire or just make a small hole if you can, otherwise leave the back door just put the laptop straight on table.

Close the back door of the laptop

Step 7: Laptop’s hardware setup done, Now plug the battery.

Step 8: Lets setup the eGPU dock with Power supply Unit (PSU).

Power setup of eGPU dock

Step 9: Take out the power connector given with the dock, plug the 24 pin connector and 4 pin CPU connector as shown in the below images:

Step 10: Plug the power Connector to the eGPU dock and eGPU cable from the laptop.

Power Cable and egpu cable

Step 11: Insert the Graphics card to the dock and plug the extra power connector if your GPU needed.

Plug the Graphics Card on eGpu Dock

Plug the extra power connector to the GPU

Step 12: the setup is almost ready, just plug the laptop’s charger to laptop and Power cable to the PSU.

Power Up the Setup

Step 13: Now turn on your laptop (The Graphics card will turn on automatically with the laptop)

Turn on The Laptop

Step 14: Open device manager and find the Graphics card is detected or not, Install the Graphics card driver then.

Install Graphics Card driver

Step 15: Congratulations !! Setup is completed now in the NVIDIA control panel select NVIDIA GPU as preferred GPU (if driver is installed and you are not seeing the NVIDIA control panel that means you need a external monitor, its depends on the GPU you are using) Now install some games and enjoy the gaming.




Useful Tip: Use WiFi USB adapter or LAN wire to play online games like PUBG or Fortnite 🙂

        I personally didn’t checked it with any AMD GPU, will try to update in my upcoming articles. But i think only Nvidia GPU control panel have ability to force it as default graphics processor easily.

          I checked with AMD graphics card,, they are supported,, nd they can be Forced to Default graphics processor.
          Using the MSI afterburner,I monitored the performance, Performance was not good.
          Way too many FPS drop nd GPU is getting bottlenecked. I think I need one of the two things either an external monitor or A better Graphics card to test again.

    Hello! Thanks for sharing the great info with us . Thats really inspirational for me since I am thinking to chance my system with the low cost in efficent way of using it. I need a system that reqıires better graphic cards for fast rendering and ray traced mode enabled VR-visualisation for my new-born firm. I have MSI GT72-2QE dominator pro with Nvidia GT force 980m graphic card and SSD 850 Evo M.2 1TB additional ssd card. The Laptop is suitable for the most games but when it comes to rendering, animation and etc its really time consuming for the higher quality of works.
    I was wondering that if its possible to upgrage the system I am using with RTX 2060 using the similar method which you have shared? Would you please give me any suggestion on that how can i upgrade my graphic card or would it woth it ?
    Thanks in advance!

      I saw Lenovo B5400 disassembly video i think its a mini pcie wifi lan card is present in your laptop, you can buy the mini pcie version egpu dock. (Note: before you buy the dock, double check its mini pcie or ngff version.)

    Thanks for the post, Other than LTT in youtube, I found your video very professional.
    I have a “compaq 15-s008tu”. I want to use the laptop for watching High Quality Movies from Online portals like Amazon and Netflix and some gaming.
    1. Which Graphics card suites best?
    2. Suggest PSU as well.
    3. Will it be compatible with the PC to connect externally?

    I tried a rtx 2070 super on my lenovo G50-70 with no success. I’m using the beast v8.5c . I have a 750 psu. My guess is that the bios is limiting what the NGFF slot can do. I am wondering if there is a way to compare both the dell bios and lenovo bios and see what the differences are regarding the NGFF port. I’m look ahead to buying a mobo, cpu, and memory to complete my build but it would have been nice to get it working until then. I really appreciate your youtube and site. Maybe one day after further collaboration we will figure this out.

      Hey dear, I never tried so high-end GPU to a laptop. Try to find any possible solution in egpu forums, or you can try lower GPU too. Btw making a gaming PC with RTX 2070 is a good idea, here is my suggestion on a PC build. Don’t Buy core i3 or i7 CPU for RTX 2070 it will bottleneck, best suitable CPU for your GPU is Intel Core i5 (latest Generation) 🙂

      I don’t think you have to disable any of them, all you have to do make the newly installed eGPU default GPU.

      There is no sense of installing egpu on a laptop which has already a nice GPU like yours, BTW if you want to try you can go with GTX 1060 🙂

        I think about the future, now It Is a good card but in 2 years It could be obsolete. So for you can i put an amd card like a rx 5700 xt ?

      Upgrading your RAM and hard drive to SSD would be good, no problem. Don’t play games more than 12 hours it will not harm your mother board, with or without eGPU.
