This is the trick Bisjac was using from some time ago, except that it doesn't work like it the picture. You need a separate monitor. If you use an external GPU for a laptop, the laptop screen becomes useless.  Not to mention you have video information going out and coming in on the same cable. Good luck with the FPS.
That doesn't look like a USB interface. They're probably using some higher-bandwidth interface along with modded graphics drivers that handles the information and allows the laptop screen to be used.

oh yeah ?? i hooked up my gpu to my ipod and im playing crysis 2 on it right now

pretty old, but yeah, that works, i did myself once for a demo in my tech club

Never heard of such thing or seen it happen. And I'm not talking about USB, even a HDMI cable and Express Card(what the kit is based on) would have it's limits. PCIe has ultimately more bandwidth capabilities than USB/HDMI/ExpressCards. It needs to be connected to a monitor.
(Laptop also looks untouched, so it's not modded)
I mean think of it as a HDMI port on a laptop, you use it to connect it to another monitor right? Because it's a port that gives out information, it doesn't take information in, say to use the laptop screen from a different computer, not happening.

Mainly the reason the setup doesn't work is because of bottleneck, there's just too much information going in from the card through the cable for it to handle because PCIe is again, capable of more bandwidth, not to mention the information going from the laptop to the card, mainly the CPU telling the card what to do.

Image is fake, it can be the actual game menu, because it's not impossible to get it to open on any stuffty laptop, or a screenshot of the menu, but the card setup is for shows, I see no way of it actually working.


I love the book wedged between the vhs tape and other thing lol
>VHS tape
oh my god lol

usb perhaps could do it. but it will only use a eh'nth of the power.

behold my godliness.

i used express card to a pcie2.0 x16 external lane.

i got the full powah :D

nVidia GeForce, now on VHS!

everyone here's apparently super sure it's fake so i'd say it could be called wizardry, what with that "substantially advanced tech is indistinguishable from magic" thing

i think its real. even my external lane has a usb output.
but that port only works at x1, vs the x16 a video card should be using.
if he tried playing that game it would fail horribly lol. he can get good fps looking at the menu though.

the guys needs a pci-A output cord. and the only thing it can plug into is an express card or a pci-a input (that laptops wont have)

Yes. I'm sure it's fake unless someone does the exact same thing but proves with a video.

And I'm not talking about having an external GPU hooked up to a monitor, because that works, I'm talking about the GPU itself using the laptop screen.

If I'm wrong so be it but I still want proof of it actually working that way because I have never seen it or heard someone talk about it before.

just do it yourself

just do it yourself

I would but it's just not worth it in the long run. The bottleneck is too much.
