What other eGPU testing do you want to see? I want to test different laptop CPUs, different graphics cards, other applications outside of gaming, and compare with a desktop PC in future.
@enterthebully9968 4 жыл бұрын
In future I'd definitely like to see how much the CPUs hold these setups back. I have my suspicions they were pegged at close to max -- maybe you could use a HWinfo64 overlay with the CPU usage

Old comment but this is exactly why I got a Core X. Laptops last a long time except for the GPUs becoming quite quickly outdated, TB3 egpu is a compromise but throwing a 30 or 40 series card into the eGPU enclosure pretty much negates this.
@user-ds8rj2vc4v 7 ай бұрын
@@lemagreengreen It's exactly what I'm doing too. I've had gaming laptops for years now. I tend to be buying the XX60/70 at the £1000-£1200 mark. This time I'm buying a £600 laptop, £300 GPU and £300 dock. So for the first one, it's about the same cost. However, if in two years I need more CPU performance, I can just upgrade the £600 laptop. If in 4 years, the GPU needs upgrading I can just buy a more powerful GPU. The eGPU setup will give me enough gaming performance, but with the ability to trade out one of the components. This also makes it cheaper to repair. If your gaming laptop's GPU goes bust, then the whole system baasically needs replacing, rather than jsut the GPU.
@Axeminister 2 жыл бұрын
One thing you may not be considering is workplace applications. Some people can do 90% of their work without a graphics card but need one 10% of the time. In a team setting, you can invest in a single eGPU that can be shared among team members instead of paying to upgrade everyone's GPU for work they do 10% of the time.

Thermals are similar to m15 R1, has an inverted mobo & soldered RAM, so not a good choice IMO. New Aero 15 would be a better choice or just get an older m15. Both have one of the worst thermals, Jarrod's old video is still true, only diff I observed with my RTX m15 is that it more aggressively power throttles while gaming but temps will still be 90C+ with 2.6GHz or so clock speeds. You can definitely improve it a lot with UV, boost freq limit & cooling pad but many other laptops hit higher freq for same temps after doing all those. Even new Omen 15t seems better than the older one, Ownordisown did a review.

I think for this to be practical to the average gamer a few things need to happen.. 1.) The enclosure has to be less $$ 2.) Thunderbolt 3 being as common as USB 3.) Change in technology to reduce performance loss/bottlenecking 4.) More portable enclosures As it is now, it's nice for a small percentage of gamers but just seems really impractical for most. Plus gaming laptops can be pretty light/powerful and desktops can be built in extremely small form factors in 2019. Thanks for the video Jarrod as always!

1 - The enclosure costs money, but it shaves it off the cost of the computer. 2 - Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 are commonplace now. 3 - TB3 and TB4 are basically the same. What we need is TB5, which is coming out this year, so expect it to be in laptops next year / next couple of years. 4 - Enclosure is fine. It's for docking a GPU. So must be of a certain size.

Any updates to date on this topic? Namely, how the price tag ( I can for instance get a used core x for €150) and adding a rtx 3070 to it would probobly make sense, right? Particularly in my case using a msi gs73vr 7rg stealth pro with the gtx 1070MaxQ. I should about double my performance, I am guessing. Or at least be able to get 100 frames or so on a 42/43" monitor at 4k. That´s the main reason I want to upgrade with an eGPU by the way, I am overall still happy with my 4,5 years old stealth pro.

The only use case I can envision for this setup is for when you are vehemently refusing to have a setup consisting of an ultrabook and desktop gaming system. The cost of the Razer laptop (of which are insanely overpriced here in Oz) and the cost of the eGPU enclosure and then a hefty GPU just screams pointlessness. For that money you could build a bloody good desktop gaming rig and buy a decent ultrabook. And with modern cloud-based "handover" software integration, you can pretty much switch from one device to the other and continue where you left off on that document or project you were working on. I just simply cannot see a business case for having developed this product. Hmm, maybe that's why the Razer laptops are so expensive? Another great video, Jarrod. Cheers mate!

RGB lighting is good for another 15fps if you run 1 color setting ! I suppose ton of people use laptops because they lack the space to have a desktop, and not because of portability. In East Europe for example, the flats typically average 45-65 sq meters. Toss in a wife and kids, and a desktop is pretty much out of the question unless you want to continually repair things that get kicked around or displays that get knocked over. In this scenario an external GPU would make sense as you could get an older enclosure and maybe a 1070 or 1080 used at a decent price. New laptops in moscow for example, can cost you well over $1800 for a bottom of the line gaming, unless you can find some close out models. I would love to have a desktop, but no space to put it. We knocked the balcony windows and door out, put a marble top on the remaining part. Sort of like a mini-bar. That's where the Dell G7 17 resides.

Basically, I'm going in a rather unconventional way, i.e. eGPU -> Thunderbolt 3 -> Intel NUC -> VR headset. Much appreciated to have your views please. Thanks.

If you plug this into a monitor would it turn it into a PC??
@JarrodsTech 4 жыл бұрын
It will definitely perform better with an external monitor sort of like a PC I guess but not quite. PC still has way better upgrade options and is cheaper

The Aero I think, but I've tested both on the channel.

The performance bottleneck at 1080p is _horrendous_ over thunderbolt. If you're going to spend $400 on an eGPU plus the $1000+ dollars for a 2080ti, you _better_ be getting 200-250+ FPS in games like Fortnite for Christ's sake. Razer has got some balls charging this much for something akin to a PCI riser board in a plastic and aluminum case with some RGB LEDs and a built-in USB hub (plus the gigabit ethernet connection, but gigabit ethernet is so ubiquitous and cheap it doesn't add more than $5 of value to this product in my opinion).

What after 3 years in the long run can pay off?. When games gets newer and laptop hardware gets outdated. Is it better to buy just a new gaming laptop. Or keep your current laptop and buy a EGPU enclousure with a current timeline desktop GPU. Which one has its pros and cons at that time. I am asking for your people opinion

I have been thinking for a while to buy or not eGPU, I was ready to buy one but after looking at the prices and reviews ,In my opinion it's better to buy a new laptop,eGPU is a nice/useful device to have,but Only if you use laptop as a deskop and as laptop when traveling
@JarrodsTech 4 жыл бұрын
Yeah probably better served by a laptop with mid range GPU inside for similar price to that whole setup.

Hey, finally a relief to find this video. I have AW51MD503AU - Alienware Area 51m R2. Right now, I have 2080 super; it has been a year since I got it. I am planning on getting a 38' Alienware monitor AW3821WD. For better gaming performance in 3840 x 1600 resolution, thinking about getting 3090. Will NVIDIA 3090 with RAZER CORE X CHROMA, EXTERNAL GRAPHICS ENCLOSURE do the job?

It was necessary to compare the performance of a laptop with eGPU with the performance of the same video card installed on a desktop computer. There are two reasons for the difference in performance in favor of a desktop computer. The first is a processor, for comparison accuracy it is necessary to use a processor equal to the performance installed in the i7-8565u laptop. The second is the ability of the Thunderbolt 3 interface to use the full power of the video card while not exceeding the flow of valid data for the interface’s capabilities of 40 Gbit/s, otherwise the video card will not use all its power. I would like to hear comments on this subject.

Yeah it really depends how badly you want just one machine/setup, so smaller laptop for portability that you just connect with one cable to dock at home, costs more vs a well specced gaming laptop and mid range PC.

@@JarrodsTech thank you so very much for the response, I just needed to know if it would work with my laptop... I have a Razer Blade Studio 15 with a RTX Quadro 5000 and wanted to get an eGPU to be able to stream and encode with the iGPU on the laptop , So basically I would be encoding with the iGPU and playing the game on the eGPU. Is that possible ?

I'm thinking of doing this with my Intel 10th gen I7 Nuc. I'm fully aware of tb bottlenecking, I also definitely don't need or care about running this on 4K either. I've seen people saying 1080P increases bottlenecks though? How does this work and how much of an increase are we talking here? I would have thought it would decrease it I guess, but hey 🤷♂

Unfortunately I cannot get it at the moment. They are based in the US and I'm in Australia, and return shipping costs a fair bit of money for me to borrow it. It will likely be available here rebranded by some other company I suspect, then it may be possible. Otherwise if Eluktronics are happy to cover the cost of sending it here I am more than happy to test it out on the channel. I suppose that may be possible as long as it just has a 120mm rad 🤔

To be honest I am not sure as I haven't tried it, from what I'm aware of the GPU is mostly engaged during the export phase rather than during the actual editing process, however I plan on testing this in future.
