The Razer Core X Will Supercharge Your Austin

I want this technology to work so bad, I like the idea of not needing two computers in my life.

If you're going to show gameplay, you should probably encode your videos in 60FPS so we can see the difference.

"HEY GUYS THIS IS EXHAUSTIN"

*But, Austin...! The eye can only see 4gb of ram.*

*when you dont have money to buy these things*

Why fortnite in every video? Run something more demanding? I get it that Battle Royal games are the trend but honestly I don't appreciate all this overhyped shizzle. All you play is 1) Fortnite 2) PubG 3) Rocket league Come up with a change pls

Please stop reviewing fortnite and rocket league. They seem to be very common in your videos and they're both not demanding, Fortnite specifically was made to be able to run on a wide range of devices. Buying an external gpu enclosure and a high end graphics card is way too expensive and plain silly to test out on games like those. Throwing in more graphically intensive games would be much more helpful in observing the limits of these setups (yes I know it depends on the graphics card itself as well as the thunderbolt limits). I have a reasonably capable gaming pc so personally it's not for me but I don't see how someone could spend that much money on this just to play Fortnite, surely they'd wanna try games like Witcher 3, Shadow of war and the like if they're spending around £800-1000 for an eGPU (300) and high end graphics card (500-700) but still want a laptop as their main driver. You should do brief mentions of FPS in those kind of games. As it stands, this video gives very little info for very expensive things (to the average consumer).

gets external GPU, reviews fortnite and pubg...cuz you know people will get ext GPU to play rocket league 😂😂

For those that don’t understand why people don’t just buy a Desktop; I am a Web Developer, sometimes I work in a coffee shop, sometimes I work at home. On rare occasions, I meet up with clients at their business, and I use my Mac to show off things. I can’t bring my desktop everywhere. I would love to have a eGPU Enclosure to throw my 1070TI in (which is in my desktop), so I can have that better performance for various tasks like Video Processing on the go.

the moment you realise your laptop doesent have thunderbolt 3 :(

I've fallen and Austin didn't catch me on the next one. But seriously, why'd video abruptly end like that?

I think this is the first external graphics enclosure I really, really like. Not only do you get triple card support, meaning that pretty much anything will work at this point, you also get full power delivery to your system. And the price being $300 is much more reasonable. That's about as much as an Akitio Node cost me when I factored in an additional power brick for my laptop. This is a lot higher quality than that too, of course.

Brilliant fan placement, to cool the rear half of the backplate of your graphics card...

oh look austin learnt a new word "is about as simple as it gets"

I love how austin jumps a bit when he says Hey Guys this is austin

Just save your money and buy a better laptop.

Has Vega, runs fortnite...

going off of my own experiences with this particular eGPU, I'd say that eGPUs the way that they are currently are for a specific person based on how you'd answer this question. a.) are you constantly on the go and do you always take your laptop with you? b.) are you a PC gamer ? d.) do you like to take your video games on the road with you? c.) do you need a professional graphics card for CAD, Rendering, Video Editing, etc without having to own thousands of dollars in other computers and equipment to do it? If you answered yes to two out of the 4 questions then it might make sense to consider getting a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU (which is what most of the eGPU market is comprised of at this time) With Thunderbolt 4 on the horizon, it will become a much more exciting prospect to getting an eGPU since the bandwidth will be considerably faster. However, if you didn't answer yes to 2 of the questions above, I'd say its a hard pass. eGPUs are meant to preserve the laptop experience without compromising heavy duty graphics processing for professional applications and games. Its philosophy is use your laptop as is but when you need more horsepower, dock it and to preserve it by taking all of the graphics load and heat out of the laptop and onto the eGPU. Think of it like souping up a muscle car.

Congrats on 3 Million Austin

Any FCPX performance increases?

Hey Austin, this is guys

I like Austins channel because he doesn’t stretch his videos

I think the biggest problem of the eGPU is not the 4x PCIE or the price of the enclosure but the limitation of the low-voltage mobile CPU like intel's U series. Even with more cores added to the CPU itself, the power and thermal are still limited. Playing Fortnite and other games with light CPU usage is fine for this setup, but playing more CPU-intensive games like Witcher 3 and Watchdog 2 would not be so ideal. Intel's HQ series are better suited for these kind of games, but usually laptops with HQ grade CPU are usually equipped with better graphics in the first place.

Can this le my laptop run minsweeper at 480p 10 fps ?

The core x might supercharge your laptop but will also burn your pocket

Dude, a little paint, and a little caution tape, and that thing could totally look like an old-school ghost trap!

It would be cool to get only the Thunderbolt 3 PCB from one of those GPU boxes for like 50$ and then use any power supply, case... Since you arent gonna carry it anywhere you could just 3D print a mount for that PCB and GPU and keep the PSU anywhere. Keep it all connected to a monitor, keyboard, mouse.. and just connect the Thunderbolt cable when youre home :)

I know time zones exist but is no one talk about how he uploaded at 2am

I have a quick question (that will probably never get an answer to) ... How do these things work with workstation grade Quadro cards? I haven't seen a single video or article displaying the compatibility. Apple uses a lot of render comparisons and certainly associates the compatibility with gaming... But what about content creation, Cinema 4D, Premiere, After Effects rendering, etc??? I don't see anything online highlighting the performance of these enclosures with those mediums.

I just bought one of these and am planning on putting 2070 super inside to use with my razer blade stealth. The nice part about using an RTX card is that it has a usb -c port on the back so I could buy the cheaper one and still be able to have an extra port :D Now I'll have a portable gaming rig I can bring to the cottage and hook up VR with for some awesome drinking nights. Man I'm excited! Oh yeah Austin you can get 6 foot 40gbs thunderbolt 3 cables, there are a few companies on amazon that make them and you can also get one from razer as well. Only downside is they are stupid expensive, like 80-90 canadian pesos for one. So like 60 bucks american.

*Ow boii I think Austin is in love with laptops now*

Hey, Austin, could you do a test to see how the Mac performs running Boot Camp with the external GPU? Just to see if Windows on a Mac with a external GPU performs as well as a standard windows machine

Love that OoF lol

I swear to god Austin Has the ability to SLIGHTLY damage everything. Never destroys only slightly damages it.

2:25, it went all over the componenets haha!!!

A guy from 2024 What’s Fortnite.

This thing should be 200 at best...

“Oh sh-OOF” xD

That enclosure is bigger than my entire computer with a full size graphics card..

how to talk like Austin say the last word slower am i right or not

Recording in-game video degrades your performance so the result might be incorrect

I got an Austin Evan ad on an Austin Evan video 😂

The point of an eGPU is to have the flexibility of upgrading your video card to advance years of extended laptop life. And spending huge cash for a high end video card in a laptop is never going to give you the same performance as a full size external card. Yes, there is a performance hit, but if you drive it to an external monitor it's still pretty handsome output. When you buy your next laptop, your eGPU continues along for the ride so you don't have to splurge yet again on a massive expenditure. Also, if you're laptop ever gets lost or stolen, you still have a nice eGPU safely at home. Bonus: some eGPUs also double as an I/O hub, so it reduces laptop cable hassles for peripherals.

What the h***? What is happening to you austin first you were playing variety of different games & now only fortnite... Why? & Where is your friend Jonathan?

Gaming laptop under $900,would appreciate it.

Congrats on 3million subs

Man, you should start recording in HDR with those insane backgrounds.

isn't it technically just a case that holds a graphics card, and converts PCI to thunderbolt?

Could you connect this to a USB C? I have a Pavilion all in one and I want to get a external gpu

This video is as simple as it gets

Hey Austin, I’m curious about that set up on the Mac. Boot camp windows 10 with the Vega would be interesting.

Austin is this guys hey

The Razor Core X Will SuperCharge Your Austin Evans

My friend found a Nvida GTX 1070 at a flea-market for only $10 because the guy selling it thought it was a printer toner.

it's so sad it's no longer available, right when I was ready to upgrade too

Austin is this guys hey.

Hey guys, Its Fornite.

if anyone is still looking into egpus be careful with compatibility between different manufactures

You can build a full sff system for about the same price as a core. Cpu+mainboard+psu+case+ssd for 500-600€ easy

Hey razor, this is laptop

A 500$ laptop charger... Noice

where was "let me know in the comments below and i'll catch you in the next one"?

me sees thunder bolt 3 port me cries in acer spin 3 with huge ass ports

*But, can you game on a 700$ gaming Austin?*

Hey Austin, This is Guys

i got this enclosure the other day with the rtx 2060 and battlefront runs almost flawlessly on ultra graphics, its worth every penny

for macbook pro with touchbar users, this runs really well with the Vega 56 or vega 64 graphics card. on Mac OS and windows.

The Austin Evans Will Supercharge Your Laptop ok

Austin Evans Will Supercharge Your Laptop

I got the ad for this product right above this video

When a laptop has a case.

Hey Austin this is guys...!!

*OOF*

Must be using better cameras, noticed a slight bump in video quality lately

Austin's getting ripped

Hey, Austin, this is *insert an unfunny joke*

I will likely buy ps4

PSU efficiency is better in the UK because of our 240v

That's nice for work applications like Photoshop, Premiere, AutoCAD, Kdenlive etc... If you wanna work on your laptop and need extra horsepower when you come home, this is a nice solution.

*OOOOF*

Hello, how are you doing "random person scrolling through the comment section" I hope you are having a good day, I am into making creepy videos on true stories if it interests you, even if it doesn't I will still wish you a great day ahead, love and peace :)

wow i just realized that is was posted on my b day

That oof in the beginning

*OOOF*

"Looks like a generic black box" 🤣🤣🤣

You should try to build the cheapest vr ready pc

Fortnite on Mac does load. But when you open Fortnite it will take a while but after the first match, it loads much quicker.

Awesome Video Austin .

Is there any benefit in connecting this to a gaming laptop? Something that already has a good CPU and integrated GPU?

I like when he jumps when he says "this is Austin!"

The CPU temps must be insane.

Thank god it’s larger, the old core pissed me off cause too small for any sort of decent 1080/1080ti

That doesn't bring any advantage,since it will often be used at home where light probably is inevitable

This gpu enclosure is great for winter . You can use it instead of a heater lol 😏😏😏😏😏😁

HEY! Austin, guys here !!!

Seeing the size of it you're better of with a small form factor desktop pc.

Critical hit on that GPU

I misread the title and thought it said it will charge your laptop. I was thinking who gives a fuck? Lmao

YOU DONT NEED TB 3 IT WORKS ALSO WITH 1 AND 2 BUT IT WILL JUST BE SLIGHTLY WORSE
