  1. Santul Sharma

    I have installed this Oculink adaptor and tried using it with both my GPD G1 and OneXGPU using Oculink. However, when I boot up my machine, the external GPU is not detected. I alraedy have the latest AMD drivers installed on my machine, and I have tried establishing the connection using the official Oculink cables from OneXPlayer and GPD, but to no avail.

    To establish the connection, I turn off both the miniPC and the eGPU, then I connect the Oculink cable at both ends of the spectrum, and then I power on the eGPU, followed by the miniPC.

    However, none of these settings have worked.

    Could you kindly suggest what I may be doing incorrectly?
