I got a lenovo P330 Tiny - with Nvidia Quadro P620 2GB, looking to add external GPU for gaming.
any suggestions on compatible GPUs ? I understand Power supply is also limited to 135W, so just thinking if it is really worth it to add GPU and would it make a difference in graphics performance
We don't support nor have we done any testing with adding external GPU's to the P330 Tiny. The P330 Tiny is actually very limited in terms of what you can and cannot do.
if i want to try and test this out, can you suggest external GPU that you recommend with a Lenovo laptop, People use GPUs with laptops all the time and the configuration of this PC is similar to a typical workstation laptop, isn't it ?
Can i replace Nvidia Quadro 2GB card with part # 4X60N86660 (Nvidia Quadro P1000 4GB) ??
P1000 4GB is officially qualified on P330 Tiny with 35W CPU.
If you already have a P620 2GB, then you have a 35W CPU, so answer is yes, it will be supported on your P330 Tiny.

Unfortunately, I don't think we have an option part number for this but here are the FRU's that you'll likely need the following FRU P/N's:
