I though this was pretty neat. Testing the new Alpha SBC with a m.2 to PCIe x4 adapter, putting a GT 1030 to supplement the CPU's onboard graphics. They should definitely try the 1060 next. Too bad about the cost, though...

I've been playing with the idea of doing this but with an MXM to PCIe mining adapter and a GTX 1070

Link please, didn't know it existed
An update from the video uploader: Running a low profile 1050 Ti with the Alpha. The m3 CPU certainly seems to hold up with the games that are tested. Keeping in mind the CPU only uses 5 watts!

That's only a x1 connection, though, right? If it's only meant for mining, wouldn't x1 bandwidth bottleneck gaming performance in mid-range and high-end cards?
I believe x1 does hit performance, but isn't a killer.

I'd guess gaming on 3.0 x1 is between 2.0 x1 and 2.0 x4 and will be about 80-90% the performance of a 3.0 x16 connection.

I think the 1030 will be hit less than an 1080... edit: nevermind again, I thought you linked the techpowerup analysis where they did the 1080 I didn't know they did it with such an old card too. It's interesting how the 1030 which is not even a GTX card is now equivalent to such a high end card from only four years ago... 30W to 188W even if Radeon of course always consumed more.
Hi i did a new project on lattepanda alpha, i setup an eGPU + a NVME SSD at sme time. This is faster because os and games are directly installed on the SSD. See results in my video:
