I bought the MSI R7 240 2GD3 LP which is PCIe 3.0 (desktop card)
I use the PE4L which has a 1x connection to connect a desktop gpu to my laptop but my laptop's MPCIe port supports v1.1.
Will there be a big bottleneck if I use the R7 240 card with the PE4L in my laptop (acer aspire 5741)?

I think my cpu and ram won't bottleneck the gpu:
Intel Core I3-M350
8GB DDR3 1066MHz Ram
 


so you are using it as an external gpu?what i can say the card wont run at it fullest and you wont get the true performance of the card.still it will be better than not having a gpu.
