Hello again Nelly! I love this unboxing video. I also unboxed my very own X1 AMD little a while ago. Please we would love for you to make a video with the X1 running with that EGPU using AFMF.
Thank you! I appreciate it! I haven’t really had to use AFMF because it’s been performing so well on the games I play regularly. Did you have any specific games in mind? Here’s a couple videos with the X1 and OneXGPU 2: ONEXGPU 2 Onexplayer X1 Mini 8840u Black Ops 6 Gameplay Oculink vs Thunderbolt 4 th-cam.com/video/qUW9X4TaCDI/w-d-xo.html Fortnite X1 and OneXGPU 2 th-cam.com/video/58tB4K8Qg4g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9OhVztvELjtPxE-r
@@GamingRepairs Thanks for the link. That combo is a beast and they look really good together. I'm really eager to prepare this before the Monster Hunter Wilds release. The Beta ran like crap on my LeGO, was a janky 40-50ish with that nasty frame generation, while roaming using just the iGpu.
You’re welcome! 😊I love having an eGPU. Getting to still play on your handheld with a huge graphics boost is awesome. I missed the demo on monster hunter to test it out but I’m excited to try it when it releases. 😁🙌🏻
Sorry I forgot to ask you if you have Dragon's Dogma 2. If you do, perhaps you can throw that onex2 egpu to the test using your x1 AMD. This game in particular is demanding in certain zones, especially Venthworth. Please test it without the AFMF2, thank you.
Wow, awesome devices! I wonder if GPD will respond. I think I will be sticking with my onexgpu(1) for now. Excited to see whats to come in the near future though.
I’m excited to see what comes out in 2025 too. You’ll be primed and ready for the OneXGPU 3. 😂👍 I ordered the Hall effect Ally X joysticks from Handheld DIY yesterday. 👌
Loved the video, thanks for the content! I've been thinking about downsizing my gaming PC from the Lian Li O11, 4080, Ryzen 5800, to a "docked" ROG Ally X. Have you used the Ally with the OnexGPU along with a mouse and keyboard? I’d love to hear about your experience with that.
Thank you! 🫶 Yes, I use mouse and keyboard for any shooter game (I’m terrible with a controller for FPS games 😂). I use this setup way more than my 4080 laptop just because I like detach and keep playing in handheld mode or even use a 2M cable and play in handheld with the eGPU boost. It’s a fun setup.

Hey nelly I got my 1x gpu2 finally & I can connect it via thunder bolt 4 but it will not connect through oculink. I have a 8840u gpd win max 2 2024 can you please make a oculink tutorial video? I’ll like it more than once i promise
Hey! 😂 Between these two guides you should be all set. Make sure when everything is powered off and unplugged that you turn on the OneXGPU first connected only with the Oculink then turn on the X1. Has to be in that order. Once you sort of the driver through Oculink, then you can plug in the Thunderbolt 4 connection for power and the rest of the eGPU features.

Nelly im super jealous fr. I just cant justify this. I have a 4070 laptop, a pc woth a 4070ti and my legion go. Pf course i have the onexgpu one but id need to sell it first. Plus this onexgpu 2 looks so much bigger than the first. Will you do a size comparison in your next feature video?
Maybe wait for the OneXGPU 3 next year haha. Or you could swap the legion go for a device with oculink and you’d see +30% gains sticking with the OneXGPU 1 versus +50% over TB4 with the OneXGPU 2. Price point is probably similar though in both scenarios. 🤔 I did compare the size comparison side by side starting around the 11:14 marked section of this video. Weight wise it’s a lot heavier lol. Did I miss something you want to see? 😊
Wow you have received yours. Have fun! Regarding the PC cable that you use to plug into the power brick, we can use any PC cable that we have around? As long as it fits?
Hi. Thanks for a very good unboxing video. I am interested in buying this EGPU paired with the Minisforum UM890 Pro Mini PC. I have heard it has a oculink port (the mini PC) so it should take advantage of the performance gained using the PCIe 4.0. Have you heard of any issues with mini PC using these egpu's?
I have two black ops 6 videos on 1440p with the Rog Ally X via Thunderbolt 4 and with the X1 mini 8840u via Oculink. 😊 Here’s both: ONEXGPU 2 Rog Ally X Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Gameplay and Benchmark 1440p vs ONEXGPU 1 th-cam.com/video/I4eRxV14834/w-d-xo.html X1 mini th-cam.com/video/qUW9X4TaCDI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JzVyDmxKShm0boHE
hi Nelly, once we have the 2 GPUs detected in the AMD app, do we have to disable one over the other to have them working properly or we can leave them both active? thanks!
leave them both active. but what device are you using it with? If you're using a Legion Go or Ally X then you'll have to disable the 780m (unless you side load AMD's software and their 780m drivers, not the ones from Asus or Lenovo, Nelly has videos about this). For other devices its not an issue, and normally they function in a hybrid mode unless you have a switch to turn it off (usually in BIOS)
What @ominousview said lol. You can leave them both. Double check in the game settings that it picked the right card 99% of the time it will default correctly. 👍
I’m about 98% sure you can’t with the OneXGPU connection. The NVMe drive does appear until a few seconds after you boot into windows and the connect is enabled with AMD xconnect (if using TB4). You could run it off the other usb c port drive or a micro sd card in your device. 🤔 Are you trying to make an Oculink connection out of your device’s PCIe slot?
Does your Onexgpu2 charge your Ally X even when the egpu is powered down? Mine does it worries me it's not a new feature the Onexgpu 7600mxt didn't charge the Ally when it was powered down. I hope that's normal
@BobbyButts-n5f Leaving any battery powered device on a charger for extended periods isn’t great for the battery. I have mine set to charge to 80% and I always unplug when it doesn’t need to be getting a charge.
Oh nelly. I have a question. Do you shoot your videos in 1080p or 4k or what? Im wanting to try my hand at some cc. Just as a hobby. But i dont want to buy a 4k camera. Cant afford it for a hobby.
do you recommend replacing gpd g1 with onexgpu 2 using usb 4.0? because according to your videos onexgpu 2 works much better on oculink. 2nd thing, thank you for recommending the cable matters cable - the connection stability is actually better. I also recommend it. It is worth noting that there are many 1m cables on the market - they are probably the problem here because as you know, above 80 cm the cable must be "active" and not passive.
Oculink is going to give you +30% over Thunderbolt 4. The OneXGPU 2 has been averaging +50% on TB4 from the 7600m XT card to the 7800m card. If you have an Oculink handheld that works the best to get the max performance without the TB4 cap. Your GPD G1 has an Oculink port, right?
@@GamingRepairs yes, but i have legion go with only usb 4.0 . on most games i see 2,5-3 fps boost . but on games like stalker only about 2x . on external scren is 20% better fps , its normal. I noticed that for example in the game forbidden west 1200p I have 45 fps and 70%gpu use , and 1600p 40 fps and 95% gpu ise.. :) on the external screen it is different. it is clearly a limitation of usb 4.0
@@Pilociks what wattage are you using on your legion go. to get more GPU use out of your eGPU you want to set your GO at 23-26 Watts at least, some games require more CPU power, and ofc RAM, but not much we can do there
@ominousview I have tested many games. In the case of egpu, it does not matter how many watts the law is. Whether 15 or 30, the amount of fps is the same. The cpu uses in legion go 15w max so.. I even changed the cpu boost mode to aggressive, but the system is sometimes unstable, unfortunately.. I'm an advanced user, I've checked all the options also in the bios, and many other things including,4 different usb 4.0 cables. The problem lies on the side of usb 4.0 and the speed of operation, since when connecting a monitor I suddenly have much more fps on 800p . This indicates a problem with the speed of the usb port, I unplug the hdmi and suddenly the fps drops significantly. It's the fault of the usb . Even the gpd company itself claims that the gpd g1 2023 does not charge the legion go ,which is a lie . The problem was in the original cable!! Which was 1m long and was passive. And I bought a certified Intel 80 cm cable and everything works better .
Do you use a portable router for online gaming on the road? They’re quite expensive, i’m thinking of getting the nighthawk m6 since it’s quite small and doesn’t take away from the portability.
Omg that’s $1000 CAD… My jaw just dropped. 😂 No, I’ll always wait for wifi or LAN wherever I’m staying or play offline games in the internet is trash. Cell data is crazy expensive in Canada vs the US (for example).
@ yh, the asus rog ally x, the onexgpu2 and the netgear nighthawk m6…i’m not recovering from this one. Using my phone as hotspot turns it into the sun and kills the battery + the download speed is super slow.
@@GamingRepairsBtw, I couldn’t wait the extra 4 days so I decided to order my ally x on Saturday and got it last Sunday. I just wanted to know, did you do this whole dual boot windows / bazzite thing. I’m completely new to PC and i’ve been trying to get my emulation going until I can actually buy some games. Do you recommend dual booting and if so why? I’ve factory reset my Ally X 3 Times because nothing seems to be working properly emulation wise. I’m just kinda frustrated with it and not entirely sure what i’m doing even with all the guides on youtube.
I don’t use dual boot with Linux (Bazzite). I’d rather have the space for my game library.

please help me how to install the game always running with onexegpu2. There are games that when playing, it seems that the x1 mini uses the onboard card and not the onex2 card to process.
In the game settings, sometimes you have to manually select the right graphics card. Most games will auto select the 7800m but some won’t. Depends on the game. In the Adrenaline app, is the 7800m labeled as the GPU and 780m as the APU?
@GamingRepairs Thanks, I did it. By the way, can you enable ray tracing with the game Black Myth Wukong on Onexgpu 2? I installed it with High + low ray tracing graphics, the game is very laggy, somewhere around 20fps
