    Hello all,

    Looking to build an eGPU for my dell latitude e5530 due to the fact is has integrated Graphics.

    I know a little.. Not much. I know I need a Express Card to connect something or another to another thing that connects to the PCI card that connects to the Graphics Card then to the External Power and so on.. I have done some research for the build itself but I would like to know if any one has had issues with BIOS and how to trouble shoot these issues before going and buying 500+ dollars worth of hardware.



    Any and all information reguarding hardware and software would be greatly be appreciated!

    Thank you!

    If your laptop has an ExpressCard slot, then an eGPU should be very easy to set up. Here is my eGPU setup for my Dell Inspiron 1545. I did not have to mess with any BIOS settings or anything like that at all. I just plugged everything together, installed the drivers and it all worked perfectly.
