    Hello everyone!

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W530 and want to work out a eGPU option for it.

    What would you recommend?
    1) Display out to an external monitor
    2) Display back into my laptop monitor

    Lastly, I'm a bit confused after reading all the post on the set up.

    Correct me if I'm wrong please...

    I need a PE4H-EC2C kit found here(Scroll down): PE4H (PCIe passive adapter ver2.4)
    Which comes with adapter, express card, connector, power cable, and power switch.
    As for my graphics card, I'm thinking about either the GeForce GTX 460 or the GeForce GTX 560
    I also need a power supply that will be compatible with the graphics card which I have yet to find.

    I'm really sorry about my lack of knowledge in eGPU but I really want to figure this out.

    But if this set up works please let me know I really want to get a eGPU set up going for my laptop.

    Thanks so much!
