    Can my computer support an External GPU?
    « on: May 01, 2017, 06:54:45 PM »
    I have the HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC. I just wanted to know if I could add an eGPU to it so that I could run newer games on it.

    Thanks.

    Simple answer is NO.
    Others have asked that on Yahoo and never got an answer your would like.

    External GPU functionality is only viable with systems that have USB 3.1 or Thunderbolt ports, which that one doesn't have.
