Lmao. Oats
PCIe adapter/board: This is a small circuit board with a PCIe slot, some HDMI slots, and a whole bunch of power options. The only point of the PCIe adapter is to help the graphics card communicate with the laptop.
Express Card Slot: This is the spot in your laptop that is reserved for wireless broadband cards from a mobile carrier.
mPCIe: This is an interface that some eGPU enthusiasts use to connect their graphics card to their laptop instead of an ExpressCard. It offers a better connection, but it cam be a hassle because most mPCIe slots are inside the laptop.
Thunderbolt: Intel’s blazing fast I/O technology is also an option for an eGPU connection. Windows laptops don’t commonly offer Thunderbolt ports (yet), but many MacBook eGPU enthusiasts report a great experience with a Thunderbolt connection.
Youre mostly going to use Thunderbolt, because its much easier then all the other solutions
But youre always will experience the feeling of a cpu lag
If you have a Bad Laptop and a powerfull GPU---> The CPU from your Laptop will slow down the GPU because its taking more time for the CPU to do some tasks and then the GPU will need to wait for the CPU.
^^^Very simple explanation i hope^^^
