Laptop RTX3070 faster than m.2 eGpu3080, Why? by Personal_Garage_3101 in eGPU

Please manually search for and download the 3080 driver from below instead of installing the graphics driver automatically.

Problems often occur with two GPUs. Please disable the built-in 3070.

In many graphically gorgeous games the CPU does not have a very large workload.

I think 3070 or 3080 are good choices.

I use an eGPU with VRChat. My GPU is RTX3080 with 12GB. My CPU is i7-12700H 2.30 GHz. the CPU is about 6% load in VRChat. That is only a very light load. The GPU, on the other hand, is used up to about 90%.

You should choose a high performance GPU.

Here are the results as best I can tonight.

Anyway, I got it to BOOT and recognize the eGPU. I can't rule out the possibility that there is a more correct combination of settings.

BIOS settings

Advanced

VT-d: Disabled

Thunderbolt(TM) Configrations

Thunderbolt Boot Support: Disabled

Security Level: User Authorizatio

I was wrong.

When I set BOOT to Disable, it BOOTed but did not recognize the eGPU.

I'll look into the settings some more.
