I have a new HP laptop and want to add better graphics. What do I need to adapt this Nvidia graphic card to my laptop? What specific cable or plug is needed? null

Question

Accepted Answer

If your laptop is Thunderbolt 3 enabled there is an external enclosure you can buy for a graphics processor, however do your research. HP does make their own enclosure, but it might not be the best option for you. There’s lots of incompatibility roadblocks and your laptop may not have thunderbolt 3 to begin with, check out eGPU.io for more information.

You would need an external PCIe adapter, given that your laptop supports them. Can you list the model?

If your laptop has a usb c thunderbolt 3 port, then you can buy a gpu enclosure. Search around to see what works best for your specific laptop.

They make an External video card box, that you connect to your laptop and use the graphics card from the box..

The computer will need to be compatible with ThunderBolt 3, which HP laptops are not. If you had something like a Dell Gaming Inpsiron, you would just need a separate dock for the card and could use a USB connection.

Thunderbolt port on your laptop. You need a very fast cable link to render games from your laptop. You can steam your game via WiFi from a gaming desktop to your laptop.

You can't plug a desktop GPU into a laptop. Unfortunately any gpu on a laptop is integrated so you can't just replace it. If you want to use this gpu you'd need a desktop computer with at least a 500W power supply.
