I had a feeling this would not work as smooth as I had hoped. I use my laptop as a DTR in clamshell mode (lid closed). I cannot get video to my eGPU connected monitor until i login.. so... I login blind. I could just remove the password and it would probably go right in. But this isnt even the biggest issue. First noticed its making my laptop run 10-15c hotter causing my fans to run. I had already worked out a way to keep my fans near silent for normal day to day activity.. movies.. surfing etc. Now it runs too loud. I figured the Egpu would mean less load. The biggest issue I am having is poor performance overall. At first it did great then after some restarts I got this random Mouse freeze every 10 to 15 seconds. I am using a Razer 15 Base 2020 model. I reinstalled windows to the latest version of Pro. All drivers are loaded. I assume it wont show on external until GPU switch program from nvidia starts. I wish it would restart and allow everything on the external to work. I was told to disable security on thunderbolt but it was already disabled. I was also told turning off Intel Virtualization Technology for I//O. This did not make it boot up to my login prompt wtih the external monitor working. Thanks for any help.
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
