One interesting observation imho is that when you switch from EC to mPCIe you have to reinstall the driver through your device manager.
You can install via EC first and than switch to mPCIe or have mPCIe first and than EC. Now you should have a working GTX 1050 Ti on EC-slot. install (takes quite some time) and rebooted.
this time in "Update driver" window, select "Browse computer for drivers" and choose your unpacked 385.41 folder in "Search for dirver Software in this location" with "include subfolders".after install has finished it won't work properly (of course, wrong driver), so go to device manager and double click " NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti", enter "device properties", select "driver" tab and again"Update driver".
go to device manager and double click "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter".do a "advanced startup" and boot into "Disable driver signature enforcement" (Thanks to shoes ).let the system boot into Windows (if it fails the first time, don’t worry happend to me also).In step 3 you follow this sequence instead (!NO DDU driver uninstall!) And also Step 2 (if you have once unpacked and edited the files you don't have to do that again). (or in other words use a different PCI-port) With the card running on your system I discovered that you can switch the used BUS with limited effort. UPDATE: Switched PCI-Bus (used my expresscard to host the eGPU) Step 3: Install the 368.81 driver (or the modified 368.81 if step 2 applies to you) followed by newest Nvidia driver
Mod the driver files to allow this version to install against your GTX10xx card. GT1030, GTX1050xx, some later GTX1060 cards were released after this driver. Step 2: Modify the 368.81 driver to include you video card if it doesn't have it already.
It now runs stable on 385.41 and the performance is great. Here is how I got my "ZOTAC GTX 1050 Ti Mini" working on EXP Beast V8 via non-hotplug mPCIe interface previously populated by the wifi card on a Dell XT3. Working example: ZOTAC 1050 Ti eGPU working ( Error 43) on non-hotplug mPCIe interface Yes I'm German, this is why there are so may articles in my writing. I hope this post could at least help a few desperate souls to give their old notebooks new life. Here I combine the discoveries of inxftw, IgorGIV and shoes into an easy to follow format with the help of nando4. Hope it helps.Sep-27-2018: nando4> This thread's solution has been superceded by a simple script. I have increase my FPS (from 40 to 120 ) and solved Windows 10 freeze in Dota 2 by this. To enable Vulkan or OpenGL support just goto Steam libraries -> Dota2 -> Right Click-> Properties and mark below check boxes under DLC.Īfter that to enable vulkan goto General Tab -> Set Launch Options : -vulkan (for vulkan) or -gl (for OPenGL). In case you have AMD based GPU you may want to use : vulkan or in case of nvidia gpu (average graphics cards) : Opengl.To improve FPS change below settings in NVIDIA control panel :Īlso make changes in Dota 2 Video settings as below:.In case whole Computer freeze with a buzz sound in Windows 10 or 8 during game : First Goto Control Panel : Power options -> Change Plan settings (for the active plan) then make the below changes : PCI Link state Power control ->OFF and Processor power management->maximum power -> 90%.Here are the changes that I would like to share : Now speaking of the problems we found a huge loss in FPS (which was shockingly bad) and bad crashes(Either Dota or system). The part which I liked was the new clean interface and MK. Dota 2 has gone through some tremendous updates in 7.0 version.
