After a series of tests we also discovered that using the eGPU in Linux required us to only use it and the Intel integrated graphics. We moved on to Linux using the same Ubuntu 17.10 build from the i7-7700K review. Once the necessary updates were applied the Node came to life and immediately showed similar results to what we saw with the Skull Canyon NUC in Windows.

EGPU GSWITCH UBUNTU UPDATE

After some searching it was found that both the BIOS and a Thunderbolt firmware update were both required for the Z170X-Gaming 7, and thankfully both are available on its support page.

EGPU GSWITCH UBUNTU WINDOWS 10

A temporary version of Windows 10 圆4 was installed - and the Node initially didn't respond. And Intel, wanting to help Thunderbolt 3 reach critical mass, has decided to make it royalty free beginning January 1, 2018.īased on my experience setting up the Node with the NUC, it seemed reasonable to set this up in a Windows environment first and make sure that was working properly on the test bench. Other players, such as GIGABYTE's AORUS division, have also stepped into the realm by announcing an enclosure with NVIDIA GTX 1070 for slightly more than the Core. At $299 - and sometimes on sale at half of the Razer Core - the Node seemed far more attractive. At the beginning of the year I had been made aware that AKiTiO, a player in the Thunderbolt scene for years before eGPU support, released their Node product to support this new solution. To the credit of the industry, 2017 has seen many improvements to that scene. As a result, much of this has been a challenge to get into the hands of mainstream users. Those that could even afford it had to fight limited inventory to test it out. At $500 the enclosure didn't even include a graphics card. And this didn't even factor in the enclosures, of which the Razer Core was one of the few available through most of 2016. Now you can connect your PC using a single thunderbolt cable to the dock station and use the eGPU without further configurations and, if you do not want to attach the PC, the internal GPU is automatically selected.Razer's own Blade Stealth and similar products that supported Thunderbolt 3 have also hovered around that price range. If you need to configure the NVIDIA card, for example enabling overclocking, you could addthe CoolBitson the Xorg eGPU file. Now everything should be configured but remember that the card switching should not be made “on the fly” but requires a system reboot.

EGPU GSWITCH UBUNTU DRIVER

/etc/X11/: file with the specified BusID (check the ID with lspci’s output) of the eGPU and the driver to use.Now checkout if the Xorg configuration files are generated and are correct. Select to auto switch to the eGPU or the internal GPU automatically with Now the tool’s generated the Xorg configuration in /etc/X11/. The program will ask you to first select the INTERNAL GPU: dismiss this configuration with N and proceed selecting the eGPU.

EGPU GSWITCH UBUNTU INSTALL

Once logged in install egpu-switcher to create the Xorg configuration to use the eGPU on the Razer Core X: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hertg/egpu-switcher sudo apt update sudo apt install egpu-switcher

On the MOK Management screen press “Enroll Key” and then continue the boot. If you have Secure Boot enabled the BIOS will ask you to enroll the driver key.

Now reboot so that the system can spawn the Xorg server without problem. Using the Ubuntu utility install the NVIDIA driver:īefore rebooting open the NVIDIA Settings program (nvidia-settings) and select to use the Intel Integrated Graphic Card on default.
