GEM12 only has two rear USB2.0 ports. If you need to connect a USB3.0 device behind the GEM12, you can only use a TYPE C hub or docking station. After using GEM12 for about a week, I found that the rear power supply TYPE C port has a serious problem.: The thickness arround TYPE C port is about 1.6mm, and the length of the TYPE C male plug of the GEM12 original power supply is 7mm. However, for most commercially available TYPE C hubs or docking stations, the length of the uplink TYPE C port is 6.5mm. This results in the TYPE C hub or docking station being unable to stably connect to the rear TYPE C female port of GEM12. In addition, the original power supply of GEM12 is only DC, but the DC interface is changed to TYPE C style. Therefore, if the original power supply of GEM12 is connected to the power input port end of the USB HUB or docking station, it will not be able to supply power at all, and you must purchase another one power supply of PD3.1 that can stably provide 120W power to the GEM12. It is difficult to find expansion devices and power supplies that meet both of these requirements。 So currently the rear TYPE C of GEM12 can only be connected to the original power supply. Unless the manufacturer can solve this problem.

I have two Gem12s, both with the 8845HS; one setup as my Plex/HomeLab server, running UNRAID, and the other as my primary gaming PC, running Windows 11 Pro. Both units are setup with the same DIY eGPU dock (RTX 4060s in both) with a pico PSU for the Plex machine and the HDPLEX 250W GaN PSU for my gaming PC. I have been beyond impressed by the performance of this little machine and I really think these mini PCs are the future for gaming and workstation use. The price to performance ratio is unparalleled. Power consumption hits 200W under absolute MAX load, and it requires some serious effort to achieve that amount of draw. When sitting at idle, they draw just under 40W at the wall. The only "flaw" would be the lack of USB 3.0 I/O on the back of the machine, but I haven't found that to be an issue in my use-cases.

So correct me if i'm wrong, but my understanding is at higher resolutions, limitations of OCuLink bandwidth is less noticeable. it's only when FPS get near triple digits the bottleneck becomes much more apparent? Im looking for a semi portable system (i travel weekly from home. I remote desktop to my tablet or Quest3 to work environment. ) with eGPU capable of driving VR (ideally approx equiv 4k 90fps) so hoping something like 4090 at 4k would be able to drive cyberpunk 2077 to 60fps at 4k, on the GEM12.

Then imagine getting a TB to 10gb Ethernet box, unfortunately running around 200 usd, and the theoretical transfer rates over Ethernet go from 300 to 1250 MB/s. Not bad for a tiny box.

@alphacompton Ай бұрын
has anyone tried eGPU's on Thunderbolt 5? eGPU's were a thing since TB3 and while TB4 didn't improve on raw speed, both are inferior for eGPU's compared to USB 4 and USB 4 is inferior to Oculink all in actual gameplay testing. Oculink is also much cheaper to implement vs Thunderbolt not to mention you can have Oculink on AMD computers. Right now AMD is favored for gaming cpus and portable gaming handhelds (Intel's ARC GPU drivers are a complete shitshow, I had one) so I kinda don't see Thunderbolt 5 being that special because those mobile platforms are the ones that would make the most use of an external GPU.

@@icaroleal7351 The current version of OCulink (OCulink-2) is the equivalent of PCIe 4.0 x8, which has a max speed of 16 GB/s. Thundebolt 5 bi-directional has a max speed of 10 GB/s and 15 GB/s in uni-directional mode. But OCulink has the potential of becoming even faster because it was already used in the server world as an interconnect between devices before it became available to us end users.

@shodan6401 Ай бұрын
@onizuka4534 Alienware laptops were the only devices that ever were capable of this, AFAIK. They had a proprietary port and sold an external GPU box and cable as an accessory. It even included a dedicated power supply. At the time, I think they went for around $300 USD, so very reasonable. It outperformed iGPUs by 20-30%. But the newer laptops didn't include this feature. I think it was too niche, and the laptops with a dedicated GPU were much higher performance by then. But in theory, you could still get a pretty decent, although heavy by modern standards, used laptop with a 4c-8t CPU that is a respectable PC, and get the accessory. You'd have a portable PC (laptop) with the option of running a modern GPU. Though with some games, but not many, you could have a bit of a CPU bottleneck. Though that bottleneck certainly wouldn't be worse than the sacrifice of PCIe lanes.

You need to provide external power to the egpu, as the OCulink cable is just a PCIe lane on a cable. Ideally, you have to turn the GPU first, then the PC. Or, if you use USB C instead, the setup is hot swappable.

USB-C has built-in voltage management to avoid this (I learned about it last week)

Think this may end up banned in EU. As it does not follow the proper standard.

These chipsets are fully capable of gen 4x16 .. they make riser cabled that are gen 4x16 for regular pcs .. you telling me they can't make a connection and a cable that can do the same ? At least gen 4x8 if cabling tech is not there yet. That would get you way less bottleneck on mid tier gpus.. even with occulink i wouldnt go above a 4060

Pcie 4 x4 will make huge performance drop compared to Pcie x16, you may lost 10% in performance in few games with the high end gpu, PCIE 4 x4 is still a very good option forGPU

No checking if you can boost the CPU to higher power in the BIOS ? No overclocking options ? Your attention to detail has gone down in the recent months ... these reviews are no longer usefull ...

It's more like a showcase channel. These are probably all paid content. And he's also shilling shady key resellers, so not exactly high scruples there. I watch because it shows me what's coming down the pike, but I would never trust it as my only review if I ever considered buying one of these.
