I saw a post in a forum about connecting an external GPU to an x200 ThinkPad and it’s made me curious what the limitations are and what models you could use one on. I am not very familiar with eGPUs.
Could you theoretically connect a ThinkPad T440p to a 3060? I imagine you would quickly reach a bottleneck but I am wondering what kind of performance gains you would get before running into it.
The x200 utilized the express card slot so I don’t know if it would be possible with other models. I am not sure though. Maybe there’s a way with the dock that it could be setup.
Yes. That’s a pretty old laptop so it wouldn’t be worth even trying an egpu setup. Even the newest laptops can’t fully utilize an egpu setup.
Totally. It’s one of those “because I can” kind of things.
