You might want to fix the images since clicking on them returns an error page.

No, dont try it. It doesnt work. It might in very rare case but all it would be good for, is a display.

The only external GPU dock that would give good performance are the ones that are based on thunderbolt or MXM port.

What ever GPU you are planning to use will be wasted on that laptop.

Actually I found this video on youtube thats why I think forum is the best place for genuine reply. is the whole thing is a Marketting SCAM?

Its not a "scam" but it is not worth the effort, time and money spent on making it work either.

It would work but would give you 30-40 percent, maybe less of the performance of a gpu. Plus, if there is a quality control issue, it can fry your GPU and your pc.

Bigger and better companies have fried components because they screwed around with PCIE slots ( I'm looking at you, NZXT). So I'd say don't try it. It's not worth it.

I've already fried by Motherboard (GA 78LMT USB 3 rev 6.0)
won't take any chance with My GPU & only working laptop (Dell N5010),
Thanks for the Clarification

I was going to use my GPU GT 710 2gb ddr5, as my old Mother board caught fire near North Bridge

How are you going to power your card? I don't think that adapter will be able to supply enough power to the card. If you just want to try these and have money to spend then go ahead. It's all a mess with a significant risk so proceed at your own risk.

1. I've one Zotac GTX 1050 Ti mini 4GB on a little pc ( i5 2400 + H61 motherboard ) which is used to play FiFa and some other games like Days gone etc. at 1080p . So the card died on with no display issue and submitted it to Kaizen on 8th of this month for RMA. RMA went smoothly and received...
