Hello guys, I want to share my way into pc-vr thanks to my egpu and all the good people that helped me from "egpu.io"....
First of all, you need to choose which conections will you use for the egpu. The fastest are tb3 and m2 at 32Gbps. My vivobook D509da has usb c but not tb3 so I choose m2 connection.... But there was a hard disk over there, so I had to install a sata3 hard disk, and copy the m2 hard disk os and data into the sata3 hard disk with the "Aomei partition assistant"
With the m2 slot free, we can connect the "adt-link r43sg".
Then we have to connect the psu, the 24 pin conector into the adt link r43sg and 2pcie from psu to the rx590.
You can connect the hdmi from the egpu into the hdmi of the laptop, and you gain portability, but for some reason the power decrease at almost the half...
I decided to cut a little door for easy connection of the egpu....
And that's all.... You can start playing some vr games without problem... From oculus pc software, steamvr, and viveport...
@boris_munoz_medovits , thank you for your post. Could you please complete the build template to ensure we have all the pertinent info?
eGPU Setup 1.35 • eGPU Port Bandwidth Reference Table
2015 15" Dell Precision 7510 (Q M1000M) [6th,4C,H] + GTX 1080 Ti @32Gbps-M.2 (ADT-Link R43SG) + Win10 1803 // compares M.2 vs TB3 performance inc unoptimized H-CPU BIOS [build link]
I made some hardware updates.... Now it looks better.... Some 12v leds connected to the cpu conector...
Now I put a hdmi2av device, it's very small and it's cheap (8.5 euros in Amazon), so it works like a hdmi monitor, and u get more portability.... Now I can connect to an old TV, or I can have no external display except my oculus quest 😀 enough for me 😉
Hi! I have an Asus m515 with Ryzen 5 and Vega 8.
My case is very similar to yours and I'm wondering if it is possible to use my notebook screen to play. I dont want to plug an external monitor.
is it possible to use that eGPU to play on my notebook screen? (even with performance loss. I dont mind. My main concern is with portability)
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
