PCIe lanes and DisplayPort outputs are wired to the controller completely independently. PCIe lane wiring does not affect display output capabilities because DisplayPort traffic does not use PCIe to get to the Thunderbolt controller. The link width is shown in the LnkCap and LnkSta fields. I don't know if it's different for other devices, but my XPS 15 only shows the Thunderbolt 3 Controller and it's connection in HWInfo64 when something is connected to it.ĮDIT4: If you use Linux you can use sudo lspci -vv Thanks!ĮDIT3: /u/splitframe mentioned in my xpost in /r/eGPU:

TL DR: If you have a Thinkpad with Thunderbolt 3, please post a screenshot of HWiNFO64, that shows the maximum link width of the PCIe root port to which the Thunderbolt 3 controller is connected. I am currently planning an eGPU setup and would greatly appreciate replies :) Please post a screenshot that shows the maximum link width of the PCIe root port to which the TB3 controller is connected.

So what I am asking of you: Could you install HWiNFO64 and check with how many PCIe lanes the Thunderbolt controller is connected? See this image for reference. This is not a huge problem when you use a screen connected to the eGPU while playing games, however the reduced bandwidth impacts gaming perfomance when using the laptop's internal display. This halves the bandwidth to the eGPU from 32Gb per second (Gbps) to 16Gbps, which is basically Thunderbolt 2 speed.

However, there is one minor problem: Some manufacturers ( Dell), decided connect only two instead of the full four PCI express (PCIe) lanes to the Thunderbolt 3 controller. To all you lucky ones who have managed to get on of the new X1 Carbon, T470(s), (and soon X1 Yoga/Yoga 370) Thinkpads: As you might know, your Thinkpad's Thunderbolt 3 port can be used not just for charging, 4K screen output, but also for connecting really powerful desktop graphics cards (GPUs) to your machine.

Mirror of Hardware Maintenance Manuals for discontinued models Lenovo Windows Digital Download Recovery Images Lenovo Parts Removal and Replacement Videos (select ThinkPad tab) Specification guides for discontinued models (all the way back to 1992!) When reinstalling Windows, try the Lenovo disc images, as longer battery times have been reported, probably due to custom drivers. A can of compressed air may be useful too, and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds are good for cleaning, but not on the screen. The only tools you need for servicing a ThinkPad are a set of small screwdrivers and a nylon spudger (for taking the screen and keyboard bezels off), and possibly a pair of tweezers. Corporate bulk purchasers don't usually go for it. Not only will it have better brightness, colour, contrast and viewing angles - you will most probably more than make up the investment when selling it. When buying a new ThinkPad, consider taking the IPS screen option if possible, as it doesn't cost much.

When buying a used ThinkPad, remember to check that the BIOS is not locked with a supervisor's password and that Computrace is not enabled and activated. For IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad laptop enthusiasts.
