would any of you spend money on external desktop graphics adapters for laptops? by serial malcontent 01/30/2015, 12:31am PST
Pros: heat generated externally, potentially better heat management, no or less thermal fault restarts, can play more games or render 3d models or do film editing or run CUDA
Cons: currently pricy, but I may have a shot at doing it on the cheap. currently requires express card slot or thunderbolt port, may be able to roll over to USB3.0 with some effort(?)
Reference: here is what the fuck I am talking about caltrops
