Single slot M.2 PCI on Acer AN515-52 is working to be installed EGPU with workarround first..
Hopefully, next time i will buy ADT-Link R43SG to test it.. 😀
Wow I'm amazed that this can work via USB. Can you post benchmarks of your discrete vs eGPU? Also is this setup working on pcie v3 x4 speeds?
thanks!
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
