Is it possible to connect a desktop you to a laptop?

devan1231017 · Dec 29, 2016

I am trying to buy a laptop which can play mid/high-end games like Assassin's creed syndicate and GTA V. But due to my limited budget of 65000 INR, I could not get any good one. So, is there any way of connecting a desktop grapics card to a laptop? Also, if you please, could you find me a laptop? Thanks in advance

Greetings, Devan:

1. Yes, you can connect a desktop GPU to a laptop. It's called an eGPU or external GPU. But first you need an eGPU dock like this one on Amazon (India):

Then you'll need the GPU itself. Please note that not all laptop brands/models are compatible and the best cards tested are GTX 680 and HD 5850. Finally, you need to buy one of the compatible laptop models. The list is found at the bottom of this page:

2. My advice is: ₹65,000 will buy you a very good laptop that can play most AAA games, including the ones you've mentioned, like this 15.6" Dell Inspiron found on Amazon (India):
http://www.amazon.in/1920x1080-i7-6500U-Graphics-Windows10-Professional/dp/B019TTJ5LM/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1483301794&sr=1-2

Running on a Skylake i7 with a dedicated 4GB AMD GPU this Dell will have no problem with GTA V. And you won't have to go through all the hassle with eGPU docks and compatibility.
