    I don't have an answer but everything I've read says go with NVIDIA because of their Optimus technology. I'm not sure exactly how it works but people seem to say Optimus is how they get their eGPU to work with the laptop screen instead of an external monitor. Btw, my setup resulted in this same configuration (although I'm using a PE4C but I don't think it matters - it's the software, not the hardware). I actually want the opposite. I want to turn the laptop monitor off and use the external monitor and don't know how.
