@[member='DWhite240'] A USB 3.0 port has 5GBit/s bandwith while a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot has 16GBytes/s(128Gbit/s) bandwith, and PCIe 3.0 is double that. So a USB port wouldn't have enough bandwith even if they did make actual graphics cards that plugged in via USB. Sorry but I am pretty sure you are out of luck as I haven't seen any USB graphics cards, other than the ones that allow you to hook up more monitors which isn't even really a GPU. @[member='Bromance'] may want to add to this.

You could use them both, however your computer will only use the first one and then when the second one becomes unavailable it fails over to the second one.

@[member='FatalHit'], @[member='Y3K-Daniel'] is right. If you don't have anything in there then it it will use your router, and that in turn will use whatever it is set to (usually your ISP).

Your ISP's DNS servers haven't updated with the new IP, 198.100.154.108. So who's DNS servers are you using? Your ISP's or an alternate? I recommend Google's public DNS or Open DNS as they will update quicker because there is far more lookups going through them than your typical ISP's.

It will still be TS.ADKGamers.com:3796, however you may need to clear your DNS cache. Here's a link to a great article on how to do it, https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html.

This is good to hear, it was really annoying when the TS was down for an entire day due to DDOS.

@[member='DWhite240'] So based off of a previous post of your's, http://www.adkgamers.com/topic/52390-are-my-specs-good-enough/?p=207868, you mention that you want to play Battlefield 4 and/or ESO. This will not be possible with your current laptop. So the question is on whether or not do you want to and/or have the budget for a new PC. The cheapest build that you can do right now would be about $500 for a desktop, and at least double that for a laptop. Based off of this, http://toptengamer.hubpages.com/hub/Best-500-Gaming-Computer-Build, guide.

Could you please post a link of this external graphics card? @[member='DWhite240']
-
Well apparently not..
-
Thanks, just downloaded it.
-
@[member='DWhite240'] The big bottleneck that you have is the Intel HD graphics. I doubt you will be able to run Battlefield 4 or ESO with that.
-
-
Well from this I can see that you are using the graphics that are built in onto the CPU, this is your biggest bottleneck. Considering it is a laptop I don't know if you will be able to upgrade the graphics.
-
@[member='DWhite240'] As [member='Bromance'] said post your specs and give us a list of the games that you play as some games rely more on CPU than GPU, and vice versa.
