Thanks for this great video. I got a little bit confused along the line. Are you saying using thunderbolt connection has a limitation on bandwidth? Can I use a connector that has an M.2 to PCIe cable instead? Will this reduce bandwidth difference? If I plan to use the external GPU for just 3D rendering and No gaming at all. Do I really need to worry about this bandwidth issue of the thunderbolt connection?
I dont think limitation of thunderbolt 3 and 4 not a problem for general users. th-cam.com/video/NapKC7KxfaE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OzopQ4uV3klH68Uj video for another channel again from me . Might give you some idea
Great video, very informative and direct! I suggest writing a script before the video because at some sections in the video I got a little confused. Overall amazing video.
it's always good to see external hardware with good performance this will create very different scenarios for day time professionals night time gamers and 3d designers editors .Matebook + RTX 4060 will be enough for me
Hello i have i7 1360p 16gb ram samsung galaxy book. Will aorus gtx 1070 gaming box go good with that? Also tell me other compatible options to avoid bottleneck
So what do you mean if that we can't use egpu if the laptop we bought didn't have dedicated graphics? Like Nvidia graphics? Even if we have the best CPU?
if you watched entire video without skipping this question should not be coming from 2012 youtube profile. I said if you have internal GPU you have to connect thunderbolt before starting your laptop like installing GPU to a PC from PCI express. if you try plug in an out during using it might not see so you have to restart that's all. I speacially mentioned near end. it is ideal for laptops without GPU but good cpu. ( You did not watched it do you ? )
"direct" mean you connect the GPU to the laptop via an eGPU enclosure, then connect the GPU to the monitor via HDMI. So the GPU will be connected to both the monitor and the laptop, right?
Do you think a 4070ti as an egpu on a victus 15 with ryzen 7 5000 series, 3050 ti , 32 gb ram, would be worth the upgrade, id probably use the gpu at later date for pc build as well.
www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3907vs5210/AMD-Ryzen-7-5800H-vs-Intel-i9-13900H table shows power difference between 5800h and my 13900H in this video review you can add your cpu model and see the difference that will show your cpu can cause or not a bottleneck with RTX 4070ti
I have a gaming laptop with that has a 3080 with 8GB of VRAM that I've had for 2yrs already. I only wish it had 10-12GB of ram. Was thinking of getting a 4080Ti w/10-12BG to see if I can squeeze out another two years of gaming. It does have a TB4 port.
Yes it does have thunderbolt 3- 4 supporting but limit is 4070ti like I've told in this video and you have to consider your cpu + gpu combination for bottle neck potential

in my test I ve used intel 13900h cpu and you are saying 10980HK. www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3700vs5210/Intel-i9-10980HK-vs-Intel-i9-13900H difference is big I guess (havent measured but your cpu might create bottle neck) you have to look for benchmarks I've checked for rtx4070 people says i5 13600K www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3700vs5210vs5008/Intel-i9-10980HK-vs-Intel-i9-13900H-vs-Intel-i5-13600K That means you should go RTX4060 in my opinion your notebook upgrade is more important than your gpu upgrade . You can sell and get slim one without GPU and add external ?
I plan on using a 4070 ti super. Paired with Asus 14x q420 (i7-13700H) I'm thinking I don't have to get "Thunderbolt Control Center" Shouldn't it just work with nvidia driver only? Using the same th3p4g3. Direct setup.
You dont need anything nvidia driver is enough but if you have gpu like I mentioned you might need to restart or connect before starting laptop otherwise even if you see the hardware it might not work as it should.Just to make sure
I havent tried it but does it passes te cuda core count of 800-900$ vga card ? İf they do there could be limits but otherwise I dont think there will be problem for low powered AI cards will be having too much limit with thunderbolt4
it helps a lot if you are working traveling and gaming or producing I guess it's opening the doors of more portability to professionals and people who love to work and travel light weight

There was a comparison of performance losses for eGPU (Thunderbiolt or Oculink) vs proper GPU (desktop): - Thunderbolt is more unstable (from game to game, 3d task to task, disabling rebar, etc.) and loses you an average 30-60% performance of the card (be it 2080 or 4090) - Oculink is quite rare (need a special m.2 slot extension, e.g. instead of your WiFi card) but offers much more stable results and roughly 10-20% performance loss.

The price of convenience, though...

Hi, your video is very helpful. Have questions for anyone's recommendations, Im planning to buy a sager NP9372W laptop with specs: Intel® Core™ i9-14900HX GeForce RTX™ 4090 16 Thunderbolt 4 What is the max NVIDIA eGPU card i should get? Im debating rtx 4070, 4080, 4090 (i know overkill but im planning build desktop later and reuse whatever eGPU i buy now). And would it improve graphics performance given the laptop is very powerful by itself?
More than RTX 4070ti will be creating bottle neck for egpu and you cant have internal RTX 4090 performance from anthing else. I suggest buy your laptop and wait a while for e gpu and you cant use both gpu models in same time for graphics becauae of drivers. righ now RTX 4090 is hard to find or expensive because its been used Ai calculations .
AMD and Nvidia will work question is what is your internal gpu because if you have nvidia from your laptop drivers could conflict one to another. if you have intel or AMD CPU with onbard GPU or APU wont be a problem.
if you can add vga to a laptop than go right ahead without an adapter. Expensive definition depends on your expectation some people expects Porsche quality and performance for vw golf price and that is called dream not a real life
