Before installing the Drivers or vBIOS update, we need to correctly set up our devices to ensure there are no issues during installation. Set up the G1 docking station and check that power is supplied to it. Then connect the GPD G1 to your handheld device, preferably using the GPD USB 4.0<\/a> cable supplied with your G1 eGPU.

Ensure your G1 eGPU and handheld are both turned on. It is important to note that the GPD G1 will be recognized as an AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
