Getting NO-Where with HP 8460P

[blobster21]

As i understand things, either the express card slot or the mini-pcie purpose is to send the data stream to feed the external GPU, and the rendered frames are then sent to an external monitor

I would love to be wrong on that one, but i'm afraid the frames rendered by the external GPU are NOT sent back to the laptop to be displayed on the laptop integrated screen. They are normally sent through any available output ports of the graphic card.

See ? the dock's hdmi port is just an input to plug either an express card cable / a mini-pcie interface cable / a "NGFF" cable coming from the laptop, to feed the external GPU.

Hmm so you should try the mPCI route then as the BIOS on my HP doesn't Allow a eGPU as the BIOS has a dump whitelist.... on the mPCI Route of things

sometime, things refuse to work, no matter what you do

It does work with the internal display, but only under certain OSs: "(Remind: Win XP, Win8/8.1 is only compatible with the laptop with external screen)"

That's what I have and the Laptop didn't even Boot up into the OS but the video card did power on

That adapter has some jumper for configuration, right? Maybe you have to play with that.

From what I've seen on YouTube, using the internal display is a lot slower, possibly due to bandwidth starvation.

Well it's only 1x though better then the on-board graphics and i'll do about the jumpers though i don't think it'll do anything

Before I try Again tell me what these jumpers do... There's 3

Sorry, no idea, but they are for solving conflicts with the integrated display.

Question 4: Could it work with its own monitor?

Answer: If you use the AMD series card,it must to connect with the external monitor to use.
If you use N series card which over GTS450, and your laptop own Intel Core graphics ,and use the EGPU software to set,then it can use the laptop internal monitor,otherwise,it need to connect with the external monitor.

Looks like if your IGP is AMD, you have to use an external display, only with Intel you can use the internal one.

Mines Intel so once my friend buys the Express card will know if it works
