External Graphics Card? by kevinmanuel(op): 1:57pm On Apr 27, 2018
HI,

So I have just ordered the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, and I can not find anything on the internet of anyone attaching (and using) an external GPU to the Raspberry. I know a lot of people who have posted about an External Graphics card have said its "theoretically" possible to hook one up to the little microcomputer but the code to get it working would be a nightmare. I was just curious if anyone has or considered putting an external graphics card on the Raspberry Pi 2. I know the first two models were unable to run too terribly high definition games but the main purpose of my mini project is to get League of Legends to run on the little guy! The other problems I could think of is bottle-necking the graphics or simply not having enough "computer" to properly run the GPU.I know windows 10 will be coming out soonish (already signed up for the dev program and i am hoping with the ability to run a watered down version of windows that there might also be the possibility to play League on the rasp.I really do not know what I am asking but maybe someone could shed some light on any of this being possible


Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
