What about a memory clock? There are 4008mhz memory clocks in Zotac GTX 560 and Zotac GTX 560 OC. But only 2002mhz-> in NVidia's GTX 560.

You can try reduced the core clock first. If still crashed, reduced memory clock too.

Hi all, i am a happy user of the E-PCI to EC2C adapter, i have both PE4H and PE4L, i've only used the PE4L,

Congratulation on the successful eGPU implementation.

Hi guys. Anybody try to play in Alan Wake? On x220t 2520 +8gb+560 940/2400+P4EH 1280*800(playing on 100" projector) i have only 15-19fps in any graphic settings. I finish game but it was rather freezing.















I think game require PCIE bandwidth. anybody test p4el 2.1 on GTX560.

What would you suggest for reducing stuttering? I have the SuperClocked GTX560 and have turned down the core clock to stock speed, though it has not helped in terms of stuttering. Would OCing my CPU require less from the eGPU? I have also thought about OCing PCIe bus but I know that causes instability.

It stutters because of limited bandwidth, only 5Gb/s concurrent with PE4H v2.4. You can try OC CPU & PCIe bus. It may help a little bit. You don't have to downclock your graphic card though. You should be able to get better result with PE4L v2.1 (10Gb/s concurrent).

we have a plan to have mPCIe-PE4Lv2.1, maybe in April. Probably we can release mPCIe-PE4H v3.0 after releasing ExperssCard version.

Does that means there won't ever be anymore any mini-HDMI with a PCI 2.0 signal ?
And for mPCIe PE4L/PE4H v2.1/v3 does it means that it won't be possible to unplug the PM3N like stuff from the PE4H/PE4L wire ?

You will need to upgrade to Win 7 because if I'm not mistaken, Vista doesn't support two graphic cards from different vendor.

theres no way around upgrading ?

I just tried it, and with I5 2410, 8 GB, PE4L v2.1 + 560ti I had around 30-35 FPS, but sometimes it lagged though. 1080p, all maxed out.

Nando4,

I updated my results with the new PE4L 2.1 (page 857) if you would like to put them on the first page...

Fardavid 2.1 really double fps!) Does you get 4087 2011 3Dmark on 2.1 version? On P4EH 2.4V i have just 3750 marks. On iCore2500k i have 4500 marks. Do you can test compare P4EL 1.5v and 2.1 on 560? BF3, Metro2033, Alan Wake/ 3Dmark 2011? I want change my P4EH to P3EH/P4EL 2.1v.

Got my GTX 570 working today with 1x through expresscard! Skyrim on ultra + a bunch of mods 28fps, 60 indoors! Now trying to get the 2x setup going.

On device manager my ports read like this:
1)nothing
2)GTX 570
3)wireless
4)nothing

so when I open my motherboard up, I see my wireless card, and one free pcie slot, so naturally, i hook up my adapter i got from HIT, and try to run it simply 1x through that free slot (little power connector next to it labeled 3g), but my machine acts like the port isnt on or anything. i took out my wireless card, and plugged in the adapter through that slot and it worked just fine. i couldnt find any way in my phoenixsetup bios to activate it. also I can't even find the 4th hookup.

also i noted that the wireless pcie slot is alot taller than the free one. any ideas how i can get this port active? thanks so much for the help guys, skyrim even on 1x looked great.
