THANK YOU! I’m surprised I haven’t seen a push for using an eGPU just like a bigger power brick; playing now at 1080p max settings handheld. Thanks for testing and comparing framerates on the Win 4 display.
Nice work. Hoping to see more e-GPU options grow with GPD devices. I'd also like to see Minisforum use OcuLink in their desktops pushing to higher performance e-GPU packages.
What we really need GPD to actually develop is a nice and solid Oculink + Thunderbolt Dock in the usual GPD aesthetic. Basically just strip out the 7600m XT from the G1 unit so we can put our own gpus in there (plus optional shroud / cover for the looks) Have a couple different SKUs, a barebones SKU thats simply an Oculink + tb dock but you plug your own PSU for the budget hack monster setups and another maybe with Gan power built in. Possibly release tiers over time 250w / 350w etc based on feedback and backers. Any 1 of those I've mention sounds far more appealing to me over the current G1 simply because I don't wanna be stuck with an (admittedly small and sleek) eGPU that cannot be repurposed later. It may be fine now as is but iGPU performance will outclass mid tier gpus in a few years! Just look at all those Blackmagic 580 pro eGPUs on second hand sites. I love the GPD push on oculink but this reeks of a Wii U to me P.S Keep it up Phawx, awesome attention to detail. Loving your content so far!
Awesome review super helpful. I am curious to learn more about the OSMETA setup you have with the RTX 4090 (ie. what sort of PSU, bracket, and style of OSMETTA board [there seems to be a few options out there now]).
haha... love the glee in your face when you make the reference to the GPD win 2's spiritual successor returning! LONG LIVE THE KING. the GPD win Mini is going to be awesome!
Can't wait to get my Win Max 2 2023 + G1. It won't replace my workstation, but it's going to make a fantastic computer for work and also to go. Yes, I'm more interested in these devices for productivity purposes, and the occasional "gaming break". It's fascinating how only GPD seems to adhere to this scenario.
Please help i just got my hand on the g1 and connected it to my ayaneo 2s, all good its showing on the display adapters along with the 780m but for some reason the primary gpu in use is still the 780m and the 7600 is 0% ! How can i make the 7600 work ?
Can you make a video putting the win 4 up against some recent desktop CPU checking out how much performance you lose plugging something like a 4090 in an handheld instead of a desktop?
Would you be getting a GPD win mini unit in advance? If yes, do help us test thoroughly for issues, especially for the screen and games/roms loading off microsd (any stutter/frequent disconnecting of the card etc).
Great content as always @ThePhawx I was wondering, considering Thunderbolt 5/USB4 v2 will be released to the market sometime in 2024, and it will support symmetrical 80Gbps + 140W PD and hot swappable usage; wouldn't be the perfect replacement for both Oculink (63Gbps) and TB/USB4 (40Gbps + 100W)? wouldn't be the final 1 cable to rule them all? or am I missing something to still consider oculink during 2024?
Before all of this was announced, I purchased the GPD Win 4 2022 model with 32GB ram and 2TB storage. I also invested in the Razer Core X and the 7900xtx for $1200. I just ordered the 7840u GPD Win 4. Would it be more viable to get the G1, or invest in the OSMeta setup and use the 7900xtx?
I'd love to see these with different GPU's and prices... This is leagues away from Asus's proprietary eGPU's. What is awesome is that you don't need some big bulky power brick. It's so compact and not limited by which devices it can be used with Oculink or Thunderbolt, awesome! Let me watch the rest. ^_^
Does the Osmeta kit come with the bracket to hold the video card? I'm so curious about this set up. I would like to try it with my Win Mini and a a 4000 series card?
I got the eGPU coming soon-ish after I backed the kickstarter for the new 7840U/64GB model. Unfortunately, the HDMI port crapped out on my 6800U/32GB model so ... I'm cautiously optimistic about longevity =_= They want me to send the whole device back and I'm hoping I can just get a replacement mobo I can swap it with and send the old one back. Shipping costs are insane for this thing. It'll be nice to use the G1 with other machines though, I wanted versatility with this device.
RE: Doom Testing. The slowdown is likely due to the texture pool size being set to ultra nightmare. This is not recommended for 8GB cards. Card ran out of VRAM. I had this same issue with my 3070ti last year when setting to ultra nightmare at 1080p. If you keep everything else at ultra nightmare and drop the texture pool size to high, you would get full usage out of the GPU. That's all that issue was I believe. For anyone that may have this issue in ID Tech game engines :)
Great video Phawx. What I'm getting from it is, if I have the 6800u winmax2, I really don't need to worry about the oculink solution, because the USB4/thunderbolt port should be perfectly fine with almost no performance drop. I'm never going to use the dock and not also be using my external screen.
There are some performance drops and stability issues when using usb 4 in games. Check out eta prime’s channel. His video about the G1 and other egpu docks
As has already been stayed above, yes, there will be a more considerable performance drop compared to oculink. Also the usb4 tb4 solution in the WM2 6800u isn't great. Not that this would justify upgrading to a new WM2, that would be unnecessary. But just bear in mind that usb4 isn't as stable or reliable as oculink in this case.
I really want to see this in an older device tha doesnt have an oculink port but I want to see it connected via the M.2 oculink connector to see where it stands between M.2 and TB4. Please make it happen
Hey phawx, got my g1 the other day and cannot seem to get it to give me more than 85w on GPU Core Power (VDDCR_GFX). I already flashed the 120w bios successfully. My autotdp also says 32watt max tdp (bios) how do you set up your bios to allow full control in windows. Thank you so much for any help!
Dear Phawx. love the content and would appricate your advice on if its worth getting a ROG ally or win max 2 2023 / win 4 2023 while i have a win max 2 allready. is the jump in performance worthy of the purchase ?
heeey, im watching a lot of your videos recently, and its being very helpfull. It would be nice to see it runing some benchmark games on ayaneo Geek or 2s, could do it?
I am holding my breath for Oculink over Pcie 5.0, it will resolve every bandwidth issues and also i hope GPD will launch a more powerful mobile gpu capable of more power and a better memory interface cause 128bit is meh. In other words i'll wait for the QHD capable variant. If only Oculink became the new standard... Thanks for the in depth analysis!
my razer pro 17 power supply is nearly this big. I'd love a lightweight 14" laptop with occulink, a two meter cable, and treat this as a thicc boi power supply that turns my work laptop into a gaming rig too. For gaming laptops you can't run then at even half power on battery, so why not?
Does the Osmeta kit come with the bracket to hold the video card? I'm so curious about this set up. I would like to try it with my Win Mini and a a 4000 series card? I wish there was a dedicated video for this type of set up
Would've rather seen the G1 as an actual docking station (ie. chonky Steam Deck dock), considering the OcuLink+Thunderbolt combo. Being able to just sit it in the dock and play with boosted framerates would've been cool
Sounds like if the device our using does not have oculink this device is not worth it? I got the old gpd win 4. Which run great but it might be nice to up the graphics when it's docked playing like cyberpunk etc.
It's probably still worth it as any other thunderbolt 4 based eGPU with the similar performance won't really be much cheaper. In fact eGPU enclosures don't really make much sense for weaker GPUs since you end up paying more for the enclosure itself than the GPU. However, in that scenario you can upgrade the card down the like, this is a closed product.
28:22 "Valuewise the GPD G1 is in line with what the 4090 is" Yeah and we all know what a great value the 4090 is! *facepalm. External GPUs for handhelds are a scam. You pay more to get the mobile version of a desktop GPU that performs much worse yet it has the same name. Stop covering them so they will stop making them and taking advantage of people who don't know any better.
Much worse performance but the same name? 😂😂😂 you see you don’t even know what you are saying. The gpu here is the 7600MXT. Bro, there is an M at the end of the 7600 meaning it is a laptop gpu. There is no M at the end of the desktop cards. Go and look at the name well. Also, they indicate the tgp on the gpus. You don’t expect a 120W TGP gpu to perform the same as a 500W or 650W TGP egpu right? 😂😂😂
@@AugustineKusiDuah-bk4fr you know that and I know that it's not the same with the desktop 7600, but the people this kind of product is targeted to, probably don't know.
Im a pc noob, a lot of it goes over my head unfortunately. I have a gpd win 4 the 6800u Can i use this or is there another egpu i can use Are they just plug and play, i love handhelds hate the faffing about 🤣
The Phawx, I want your opinion; whats the best value for compact 7840u gaming, the Aya Neo Air 1S or the GPD Win 4 7840u? Seriously I'm on the fence and it's alot of money (to me, especially because my country hits me with 25% tax on import)
I have the same question, but I think the win 4 is will end up being the best option. I love OLED screens but the 1S will probably have a very limited battery and the lack of occulink now seems too relevant if you plan on getting an egpu
The thing is, when you buy these devices you will try to tinker around a lot, so having a built in keyboard and optical touch pad are huge pluses in navigating windows while lying in bed/sitting on the couch.
@@maverickvgc4220you have got to understand that there are other egpu solutions even with oculink. The point of the g1 is portability too which has to be taken into account
It would have been nice to see some more realistic RT benchmarks, meaning in 1080p and medium-ish settings, not just in 4k which nobody would use. Great video anyway, as always!
Why is it saying PCIe link is 16GT/s I thought Oculink is PCIe 4.0x4 for 63GT/s Thunderbolt 4/USB4 is PCIe 3.0x4 for 32GT/s eGPU Docks should really be using desktop GPUs which are upgradeable.
Oculink version 1 is PCIe 3.0x4 USB4 is not the same that Thuncerbolt 4. USB4 does not say much and you need to know the specific implementation. One option might be a thunderbolt 3.0 with 16 Gbit/s for pcie lines. For Thunderbolt 4.0 32 Gbit/s for pcie link is requiered. I miss that Phawx does not detail the configuration for the thunderbolt connection in this case.
@@user-xp5ux3bs8v GPD give the details in their marketing material for the G1 on their website. They are using Oculink version 2 PCIe 4.0x4 (4 lanes instead of the allowed). The USB4 is also full bandwidth as advertised 40GT/s using 4 lanes of PCIe 3.0. Which is why I'm curious about the reading of 16GT/s
Hi @ThePhawx , I have an Ayaneo 2 and I got a AMD 7800XT on my eGPU. I'm having an issue where the eGPU can't load the drivers of the eGPU. Is loading a Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and I get Code31. Any tips on how to deal with loading the driver for an AMD 7X00XT eGPU?
What a time to be alive if you’re a handheld gaming PC enthusiast

Why is it saying PCIe link is 16GT/s
I thought Oculink is PCIe 4.0x4 for 63GT/s
Thunderbolt 4/USB4 is PCIe 3.0x4 for 32GT/s
eGPU Docks should really be using desktop GPUs which are upgradeable.
Oculink version 1 is PCIe 3.0x4
USB4 is not the same that Thuncerbolt 4.
USB4 does not say much and you need to know the specific implementation. One option might be a thunderbolt 3.0 with 16 Gbit/s for pcie lines. For Thunderbolt 4.0 32 Gbit/s for pcie link is requiered.
I miss that Phawx does not detail the configuration for the thunderbolt connection in this case.
@@user-xp5ux3bs8v GPD give the details in their marketing material for the G1 on their website. They are using Oculink version 2 PCIe 4.0x4 (4 lanes instead of the allowed). The USB4 is also full bandwidth as advertised 40GT/s using 4 lanes of PCIe 3.0. Which is why I'm curious about the reading of 16GT/s
120w bios makes a difference
Good or not?
Hi @ThePhawx , I have an Ayaneo 2 and I got a AMD 7800XT on my eGPU. I'm having an issue where the eGPU can't load the drivers of the eGPU. Is loading a Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and I get Code31. Any tips on how to deal with loading the driver for an AMD 7X00XT eGPU?
Got it working. Had to remove my 6800U driver and Adrenaline, install the 7800XT driver and then install the 6800U and got it working.
@@franciscofredviana743can you use it in handheld mode still?
@@franciscofredviana743meaning, do you have to reinstall drivers after you unplug the egpu?
Everyone has the same video. No one is talking about the sd card slot and its limits as to what you can and cannot do 🤦♂️
