    Hello. I have a Toshiba A665-S6086 with integrated graphics. It struggles to play games on the lowest settings. I have a Express Card slot but cant find out how much bandwidth it supports. I'm trying to put together an external GPU but am not very knowledgeable when it comes to this. I can create the housing unit and I have a power supply but I know nothing about which gpu to choose to improve my laptop without it being overkill. Any help would be great. Thanks

    Same here. After doing some readings, i think this is what we are suppose to get? PE4H ( PCIe passive adapter ver2.4 )
    Then im confused. Many people got the gtx500 or 600 series cards. Does it onky work with those old cards or i can get the latest ones (gtx970). Im also confuse on the spec of my expresscard slot on my laptop T420s 4173 PU9
