I’m planning on getting a Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro for my egpu set up. Which enclosure would you personally recommend? I’m leaning more towards Sonnet Breakway 650w.
Thanks for the video. This has been my experience 100%. I have multiple Thunderbolt 3 docs and an AGA. TB3 is always 20-40% slower, because of everything you talked about. This is one reason I think I'll always be buying Alienware laptops now. There are other laptops out there that might be better, but their life expectancy is a lot lower because once they outgrow their built in graphics, there isn't much that can be done to prolong their life. With the AGA, I get great performance out of external graphics and my Alienware laptop will last a lot longer as I can just upgrade the external graphics.
Well explained! I steer people away from the eGPU enclosures all the time in regards to using TB3. It’s not plug-and-play as you want it to be. The AGA on the other hand works like a charm. It just locks you into the Alienware laptop solutions, but that doesn’t necessarily have to be looked at as terrible thing.
Very nice video, I have 15R3(2017) I just bought a Alienware graphic Amp last week can I use it to Encode or Decode video clips by Adobe Premiere Pro ? or External Graphic AMP only design for gaming? cheers
Hey! I have an Alienware 15 R3 with Intel i7 7700HQ CPU and an NVIDIA GTX 1060 OC GPU with 16GB DDR4 (2x8GB) RAM. I was initiallIy thinking of buying an RTX 2080 max Q laptop by the end of the year, but I thought I'd hold off buying a new laptop, and instead, I was thinking of purchasing an Alienware Graphics Amplifier and an RTX 2080 FE to play with a 1440p 144Hz monitor, so that I can delay the purchase of a new laptop by two years atleast. Do you think that there would be too much bottlenecking with my CPU, or that it would be more worth if I just sold my laptop and bought a 2080 max Q laptop instead? Thanks a lot for your time!
If you output from to a external monitor from the amp with the RTX 2080 it will be fantastic and the CPU wont bottle neck it badly as it should boost more that you have a eGPU
@@asrivatsava I will not recommend buying RTX 2080 Max Q cuz this is for thing laptops with worse cooling and performance like RTX 2070 or even GTX 1080 nearby. AGA with RTX 2080Ti will increase the performance, but will be it working under 100% load with 4 Lane bandwidth? I don't know. Using your AGA instead of internal GPU will allow you to overcklock CPU. Repaste CPU before use, take out the back cover of laptop and put it on cooling pad. Use vertical synchronasation with 60 or 120Hz (fps) too keep you laptop chill and ready to boost at any needs.
I have a 2mtr long Caldigit “active”Thunder bolt 3 cable on my Razer Core X Egpu running on my 2018 MacBook Pro...works just as well as the short cable.
I have an alienware m15 R4 with rtx 3080 and i need to know if The aorus rtx 3090 gaming box is compatible with my laptop, the laptop is equipped with the thunderbolt 3 port , thanks
It would be the perfect egpu if it had an option to use thunderbolt as well as the proprietary cable.PERFECT . Since I have a dell xps13 and an alienware m15 and I want to use both with the egpu
That's a generous exaggeration... I've not had any experience with the Alienware setup, really interesting, also you've obviously been using TB3 across several platforms... your experience there ... very helpful! ... just make sure ya leave some power for your neighbors when ya running all that gear... I'm betting the street lamps dimm when your start up that thing. :D seriously thanks!
I'm specifically interested in possibly going w/ an m17 w/ the amplifier for machine learning and deep learning and cannot find any information as to whether the x4 instead of an x16 will dramatically reduce this type of performance. If you have the ability to test that I'd be so grateful!
You might want to check out Tim Dettmers blog for multiple articles on the hardware config. x4 doesn't seem to matter much for now, it's the GPU that's the bottleneck. However, for long running deep learning experiments, TB3/AWA/laptops might not be the best way to go.
@@MultiMojo The AWA appears to be way more performance than a tb3 egpu which is specifically what I'm wondering about. It might be much better suited to long running machine learning because it's a direct, full connection to the system rather than a shared bus
@@TallyHoTech Nice one, can't wait to see your next reviews on the topic, hope you can demonstrate the differences. If it's only a 10% penalty, I'd definitely use a longer cable.

I forgot to mention the lower latency of the AW Amp not going through the Thunder Bolt Controller also help it be faster

Cheers mate Lol. I hope people understand what I was saying.
Bring on PCIe 4 and TB4
Hi there, I've a 13r3 with 4k.
I was wondering will the i7-7700hq be a bottleneck for rtx cards?

Finally what I wanted to know! Thanks a lot for this video mate!

Hey mate, did you ever end up doing this? Really curious on the results. I also agree with Denis' post, definitely do a repaste.

Interesting.
Very informative video, these aspects were things that I did not consider when it comes to avoiding bottlenecks from the eGPU.
Thanks for that.

Love your style and that intro music had me looking around for a dance floor hehe...good work you do...keep it going mate!
Ah cheers mate
It would be the perfect egpu if it had an option to use thunderbolt as well as the proprietary cable.PERFECT . Since I have a dell xps13 and an alienware m15 and I want to use both with the egpu
Wanted this info ... your explanations are very clear, thanks for time making this vid!
Mate, got all the info off you :)

will the amplifier helps using that gpu so we can quiet down the alienware and make the laptop last more longer if that make sense?
A really good detailed comparison, thank you!
Cheers mate
So I can plug this into my monitor and it will take pressure of my laptop??
Yep
Hello, what is the music title you use in your intro ? Thanks a lot ! Great video, continue like this ! Cheers :)
It was some royal free download. i will have to take a look.
Very well explained
Doesn't the alienware graphics amplifier use x16 pci express gen 3? Thanks for video it shows me that it's actually a not too bad of an option
Nah. The CPU's only support 16 lanes of PCIe so they cant use them all for the Amp
@@TallyHoTech gotcha thanks! so that's just marketing on their behalf since they advertise it as 16x lol sneaky!

Do you have some news about this?, I'm interested too...
i have a 15 r4 with i7 8750h and gtx 1070 if i buy a rtx 2080 with alienware amplifier Do you think that there would be too much fps increase
Same question
Does the Alienware Graphics Amp works with a 9570 Dell XPS 15 ?
No only with Alienware
Would the Alienware egpu fit RTX cards?
Most of them yes.
Tally Ho Tech thank you :).
How does an eGPU like the Node Pro work with the X1 Extreme?
Yer works just fine
Who won the Dell G7 giveaway?
Will
Be announced soon.
Nice vid
Cheers mate 👍
3 meter cable is ace, how noisy is it?
The noise is mostly the GPU. Long cable is fine for storage but it will can effect a eGPU for gaming
@@TallyHoTech Nice one, can't wait to see your next reviews on the topic, hope you can demonstrate the differences. If it's only a 10% penalty, I'd definitely use a longer cable.
Haha jarrod wanted to do a vid like this
I’m sure he still will.
Yes of course . He would benchmark the usual games but show graphs and stuff
Why doesn’t it work with Mac?? 👎
The Alienware? The eGPU works on the Mac
Western Gents United - yeah was meaning the Alienware
Only works on Alienware :9
Only shows Fortnite..
Next time I will show Pong for you
AW AMP win for sure. IM not AW fanboi btw
Wooooo
