Hi there, please offer us a picture of contacts of the EX docking station, we will check if it is pro version.

fgohan I bought it in May 2025…

DM-corp Hi there, yes, the one on your picture is a Pro version.
Here is the old version :

support1 Thank you very much for the clarification.

I have one more question:

I have purchased a mini-PC, the Beelink GTi 14 Ultra (185H), along with the Beelink EX Pro docking station and an Asus RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card. I have updated the mini–PC’s BIOS to version GTi14 T110. The BIOS graphics configuration settings are as follows: Primary Display – Auto, Internal Graphics – Enabled. All necessary drivers are installed.

I turn on the docking station first, then power on the mini-PC. The DisplayPort cable from the monitor is connected to the mini-PC. As a result, only the built-in Intel Arc graphics card is active. The external Asus RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card is visible in Device Manager, and its properties indicate that it is functioning properly. However, according to Task Manager, it is not being utilized—its usage remains at zero.

If I connect the DisplayPort cable directly to the Asus RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card, it starts working, but the built-in Intel Arc graphics card is no longer active—its usage, according to Task Manager, stays at zero.

Because of this, I constantly have to switch the DisplayPort cable between the two graphics cards. My question is: How can I configure the setup so that the external Asus RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card works when the DisplayPort cable is connected to the mini-PC?

DM-corp Hi there, if you want to output video spontaneously for both PC and the EX, please go to BIOS and change【Primary Display】to【IGFX】, press F4 to save.

support1 I configured the BIOS as you said. However, the problem is not solved. The only thing that helps to use an external video card is to register in Windows 11 settings for a specific application to use an external video card. If this is not done, the external video card is not used. I need the mini pc to automatically switch to the external graphics card when the load increases, such as gaming, video editing, etc. Waiting for an answer…

DM-corp Hi there, sorry, it won’t automatically switch to the external graphic card. You need to switch it manually in the BIOS, here is the tutorial for your reference https://mega.nz/file/CuAXVChb#koGS4Tn5MlxnOpqHVpxGs8ghIKSqmY9ET0EfwiVCjFs

support1 Okay. Let’s leave the idea of ​​automatic switching depending on the load. The question still remains: I manually configured the BIOS as you recommended, but the external video card is still not used. According to the task manager, the load on the external video card is still zero. What is the reason? How to solve this problem?

support1 What do you mean? Explain in more detail…

Let me remind you that the original question was:
I constantly have to switch the DisplayPort cable between two graphics cards: connecting the monitor to the output interface of the integrated graphics card of the PC, or connecting the monitor to the output interface of the external graphics card installed in the docking station. My question: How do I configure the BIOS so that the external Asus RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card is used when connecting the DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort output interface of the mini PC?

DM-corp Hi there,

Windows and most systems prioritize the GPU directly connected to the monitor. If the DisplayPort cable is plugged into the mini-PC , the system will default to the integrated GPU for rendering. To use the external GPU, the monitor must be connected to the external GPU’s DisplayPort/HDMI output on the docking station.

BIOS Settings:
While changing Primary Display to IGFX in the BIOS (Section 8 of the manual) enables both GPUs to be recognized, it does not automatically route workloads to the external GPU. This setting allows simultaneous detection but does not override the display connection logic.

Workaround for Automatic GPU Switching:

NVIDIA Control Panel: Set the external GPU as the default for specific applications:

Open NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings → Preferred Graphics Processor → Select High-performance NVIDIA processor.

Assign the external GPU to demanding applications like games or video editors.

Windows Graphics Settings:

Go to System → Display → Graphics → Add your application → Set it to High Performance (external GPU).

Limitations:

Automatic switching based on load (e.g., gaming) is not supported by the BIOS . You must manually configure applications to use the external GPU.

For full external GPU utilization, connect the monitor directly to the docking station’s GPU ports.

Final Recommendation:
Connect the monitor to the external GPU’s port on the docking station for gaming/GPU-intensive tasks.

Use the mini-PC’s DisplayPort for lighter tasks (office work, browsing).

If switching cables is inconvenient, use a monitor with multiple inputs or a KVM switch to toggle between the mini-PC and docking station outputs.
