This is despite peaks of 70% utilisation of the eGPU. the Puget PS benchmark actually got worse, down to 760 with the GPU rating dropping from 85 to 77.
(*if you want to correct the eGPU name in Device Manager, you can add a Friendly Name in the Registry - which is why in the screenshot below it is named correctly)Īfter carefully assigning programs to use the GPU in Windows and Nvidia 3D settings, I ran the Puget PS benchmark again, with the monitor plugged into the eGPU.īut.
EXTERNAL GPU ENCLOSURE QUADRO DRIVER
Previous searches for the correct driver on the Nvidia site for each my GPUs had lead me to exactly the same driver file, so I was pretty confident that this would work, which it did! Voila!ģ070Ti was not available to select in the driver setup, so I picked Quadro RTX 3070*.
EXTERNAL GPU ENCLOSURE QUADRO UPDATE
I did a manual driver update for the eGPU, and navigated to this folder to grab the driver. So I ran the installer again, but cancelled it once it had extracted the driver files to the temporary folder, then I copied that folder to another location. Then I realised that the folder that the studio driver installer unzips the driver files to is then removed once installation is completed.
EXTERNAL GPU ENCLOSURE QUADRO INSTALL
I tried to manually install drivers for the eGPU, but could not locate the drivers already installed for the T2000. There are many reports on the web of having to remove existing drivers bla bla, but I found what every I did, the drivers installed fine for the T2000, but Windows stubbornly continued to treat the eGPU as a 'standard display adapter'. I had read that the big challenge here would be getting drivers for the eGPU installed. I picked the 3070Ti for no-more scientific reasons than it's what Puget spec as base standard in their PS Workstations, and the price was only super-ridiculous, not mega-ridiculous like a 3080/90. Specific model is Gigabyte Vision OC 8GB, so a mildly over-clocked version, but marketed more at content creation than gaming. The eGPU is a NVidia RTX 3070Ti in a Razer Core X enclosure. Without eGPU, Puget systems PS Benchmark ~780.
