User-Test mit einer HD 5850 2GiB:

Still, even on an x1 link, I am extremely pleased. With x1, it is very convenient to hook up the 5850 - just dock and sleep the laptop, plug in the vid card to ExpressCard, switch monitors to vid card input, and wake up - now I have real gaming performance! I can now run EVE Online at full 1920x1200 resolution, 8xAA, 8xAF, with every graphics option set to full at 100fps. I know EVE is not a graphically demanding game by today's standards but it is a shocking improvement to me who is used to playing with all graphics options set to poop-like quality. I have been out of the "hardware scene" for years, so I do not know what benchmarks people like to use today, so I ran 3DMark06. With the integrated graphics, my score was 1,720. With the 5850 hooked up, I get 12,765! Very wonderful for me and now I can try all sorts of new games that I couldn't before
The PE4H with the EC2C adapter was $85. Shipping was $15, I think, and it came fast - from Taiwan to my Minnesota doorstep in less than 2 full days. Had to specifically request v2.0 in the purchase notes, and they sent just that.
Power supply is just a regular computer PSU with enough wattage to make your vid card happy. Sapphire recommended 500W for my card so I got an Antec 550W. Power hooks up to the PE4H using a regular old floppy 4-pin connector. With the PE4H you get an extra little piece that hooks up to the PSU so you don't have to do the paperclip trick to get it to power up, just a switch - nice extra.
Mit dem Mini-PCie-Card Adapter könnte man dann wohl sogar ein Crossfire/SLI aufbauen. :D
