    Hi everyone

    I buy a PE4H v3.2 with EC and also a sapphire R9 280x Toxic for making egpu

    my notebook is vaio vpcf11cgx that have 4 GB ram and core i7 1.6 GHz

    my power is TSCO 700 Watt ( 300W REAL )

    i connect all of this thing with EC and test it and i think my graphic doesn't use full of power

    i test a 3DMARK 11 and benchmark it on performance setting and my score is 6800 ....

    but in other sites that test this graphic in powerful PC is 11800

    what can i do ?

    has anyone this problem ??

    The latest 3dmark would be a good test too.
