    Hey guys!
    I have a nice Gigabyte laptop that I love, but is getting old. It has an i7-4700hq, 12 gb, 1080p ips screen, and 760m. I am thinking of building an egpu setup using my mini pcie slot for my wifi and wanted to get an Radeon r9 380. My question is how do I know if this would work before investing? Would the AMD card work in lieu of my Nvidia 760m? Any input would be great. I've done a lot of reading so I know I need the adapter, power supply, gpu, and enclosure. Just hope I don't have to mod ify the bios...I am running linux and WIndows 7 if that matters.
