External GTX 1050 Ti on Acer Aspire A515-51G-520Q with GDC Beast?

NoobNeedsHelp

Hello dear people,
as the question says, I want to improve my Gaming Performance with installing an external gpu via GDC Beast. I would install a GTX 1050 Ti since it's not really expensive and good also. So, heres the thing: I want to make sure, that my laptop supports this installation and if my CPU would have problems with it. Thunderbolt GPU cases fall out since my laptop doesn't own a Thunderbolt Port. Are there special things I should take care of before installing?

Thanks you in advance!

Not worth it, the EGPU speed is limited by the PCIe connector and means will not operate at anywhere near it’s performance potential. Only USB C docking or Thunderbolt 3 are worth using for EGPU and even then the performance is reduced by about 20%, and your laptop has neither. The only reason to do it is if your knbiard GPU is of such poor quality or power that a reduced performance EGPU is better than the onboard

Thanks for answering in first line.
I read an article about connecting a GPU via m.2 and that's supposed to be even faster than thunderbolt. Is this true ?
