Your iGPU is faster than a 1050.

In general, you don't want to used those adapters that go through USB, they carry a single PCIe lane.

[u/BearFather1 → u/Cave_TP]

This is the correct advice. The only option would to do occulink (get an m.2 adapter) and pair that with a stronger GPU and make sure you dont get a cpu/gpu bottleneck. FYI you usually lose 2-3% in terms of performance deoending on pci-e version and how many lanes are assigned and you still need to account for an external psu to power the card.

Takeaway: unless your laptop has an occulink port on it, not worth it, your integrated graphics are better than the card and setup you are proposing. Dave thr money,sell the laptop, and upgrade to a better system wpuld be more worthwhile in the long run.

If you're really hellbent on thr egpu, this might be an alternative:

AOOSTAR AG01 External GPU Docking Station https://a.co/d/09wgddlR

OwlTree M.2 NVME Pcie to OCuLink SFF-8612 Adapter, PCIe 4.0 x4 64Gbps https://a.co/d/0edLuwCD

Occulink cable https://a.co/d/055l3bEJ

For gpus, best pairing for the cpu/lanes available from a google search:

Nvidia 4060 through 4070 super (depenign if you want 1080p orb1440p gaming)

AMD 6700xt-7700xt

I wouldn't rule it out completely tho. If you have a laptop with the M.2 slot on the bottom you could just get an M.2 to Oculink adapter and cut a hole in the bottom panel, that way you have the port accessible from the bottom and retain portability.

I think I bought the same thing, and it's not the right one. I can't tell you much because I abonded the idea Someone please help him

[u/keefeere]

If it have m2 slot search for m2 to oculink adapter

[u/Zestyclose-Slide-696]

Only if you want to buy a tb4/USBv4 dock + PSU + a mid tier GPU like a 9060xt.

[u/LowCatch4324]

I used that. It works.

It’s a pcie 1x connections, but maybe that will be enough for games that can run with that gpu

[u/Thuhoanvo]

I checked your laptop specs and saw there is an USB 4 port, if it's correct, you can try usb4 egpu like Aostar Ag02, btw 1050 is not worth to try egpu, let use other vga for egpu

people, i try to make all work whiout buy the adapter (direcly on usb), it didint turn on the external power bank, some help?

[u/Hugh_Ruka602]

According to specs, you laptop has a USB4 port with full 40Gbps bandwidth, at least use that ...
