how much bandwidth does a egpu need?

I bought a RTX4070ti super and a mag A650GL with a ATX TB3 External Graphics Box eGPU encloser to use with my legion go. I set it up and plugged it in to my legion go but it is not show up under display adapters. I tried to rewire it but nothing changed. I tried changing the outlet it was plugged into but nothing changed. I also tried to resemble it but it still did not show up under display adapters. I dont know if this is where the problem is, but when I turn on the psu before I turn on my legion go, none of the fans on both the psu and the RTX4070ti super turn on. Can somebody help me please?

If I would get this, it should give me enough performance and plus the bandwidth is only like I don’t know what’s there been with but I know if you’re connected to your USB4 port it can only reach 40 gigs but if you use it for PC that’s gonna be maximum been with, but for this one if I want connected to my handheld device That should be a good budget to use for my handheld to run good amount of performance for a good price

And first of all it’s like they’ve been planning to release it in 2022, but it seems like they decide to cancel it and release it at least to the next day because it seems like they had to working on fixing the issues until they can release it to the next day so that means 2022 was cancelled so does that mean they’re planning to release it in 2024 or 2025 if they cancel in 2024 and if they decide that they’re not gonna make one anymore that’s gonna be disappointing

I realized, that thunderbolt can provide pretty decent power, for an egpu setup without a powersupply.
Does anyone have some pointers to get started on this?
Example what gpu or what adapter?

I want to get an eGPU for ASUS Vivobook S 15 laptop with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor. I'm planning to use the eGPU only for an external monitor, but I'm not sure if my laptop supports this - I haven't found any examples of people using this laptop with an eGPU. Can anyone help me figure out if I can connect and use an eGPU? I'm not planning anything super powerful, probably something like a 4060 would be more than enough, or an AMD equivalent with similar performance.

Just found out that the One Dock can now be purchased from the website posted. I know a lot of users found it difficult to order one but seems like the developers finally found a way to sell/ship their product to overseas customers.

As the title says. When I use my Lenovo Legion Go with my Razer Core v2 and RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition everything works fine and the fans do their job quiet enough.

As soon as i turn off my Legion Go the eGPU sounds like a jet ready for take off. The sound only stops when I disconnect the Thunderbolt cable or turn off the power supply for the PSU. Any ideas what the cause might be and how to fix it?

If I could fix this my setup would have a huge QoL Upgrade.

Thanks in advance folks!

is there a r43sg tu but one that looks like this and has that stand for the psu? and uses the m.2 nvme and has 8 pin

So, I got myself an X1 Carbon Gen 11 which I upgraded from X1 Yoga 2nd Gen, and I didn't have a PC for a long while, until like 5 years ago, I got myself a PC and recently upgraded the PC to R5 5600 and RX 6600 XT, my old GPU (1650) is just lying around and I usually can't sit on my PC table all the time to play games so I was considering getting a gaming laptop but I needed laptop for work too so I got a ThinkPad. My question is that is getting an eGPU viable option if I can't attach an external display to it and just use my GTX 1650 with the laptop because I only want to play 3D indie games like Disco Elysium/Tunic and stuff which doesn't run well on my iGPU in the laptop. TL;DR: Is there a huge performance difference if I'm using the GPU to play games on the laptop's internal display

And if not then how would i attach a gpu? this is the entire question, I understand external power requirements aswell.

Hi everyone I am having issues setting up my AMD RX 580 eGPU on my Lenove ThinkBook. I put the RX 580 into my ASUS XG Station Pro dock station and connect to the laptop via USB4 cable.

I ran 'neofetch' and it shows that the eGPU is recognized as it lists two GPUs, one is 'AMD ATI Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590' and the other is 'AMD ATI 65:00.0 Phoenix3' which is the iGPU of Radeon 780M.

But when I open Davinci Resolve's Preference tab, I can only see my iGPU listed there. I tried launching Resolve using DRI_PRIME=1 or DRI_PRIME=pci-0000:08:00.0 ( I made sure the pci number is correct) but still I can only see the iGPU being listed.

I have another GPU which is NVIDIA RTX 3060 and it works a bit better with this Linux laptop. Davinci Resolve recognizes the eGPU but it can only run at OPENCL mode, no CUDA, and the performance is horrible. It also crashes a lot. The same GPU works perfectly in my desktop PC and in Windows 11 as an eGPU for my laptop.

I learned that AMD GPUs should work much better than NVIDIA ones so I want the RX 580 to work in Davinci Resolve but I just couldn't get Resolve to recognize its existence.

I also tried the egpu-switcher script but it turns of my laptop's display completely while still can't get Davinci Resolve to list the eGPU.

What else can I do?

Plus I tried running a game with the eGPU in Steam. It launch with the eGPU and crashed shortly. The game is Black Myth Wukong.

The video output on the eGPU works though. My monitor connected with the RX 580 via DP cable works perfectly fine as an external monitor at 1440p 100hz.

Hello everyone. For a while now I am using UT3G v1.6 adapter and I am getting really nervous about the heatsink on the adapter. What do you think? Should I add a fan to cool it down?? Or it is going to be ok?? The heatsink can get quite hot. Not like super hot… but it is starting to be uncomfortable to touch. When the gpu is under load, it is getting some airflow from it but when it goes idle the fans will turn off. What do you think??

I've recently got an EVGA 3070ti XC3 for about $180 CAD since the previous owner got an error 43 when he was using it. Plugged into a friend's computer and seemingly no such problems after updating drivers.

My conundrum is now this - I have a 2022 RB14 with a laptop 3070ti. Is it better for me to get an eGPU setup going or just build a PC?

I just need a laptop that is long battery focused so i can go to collage and work in it all day then go back home and game in it all i want. I am supersized that i did not find a discussion about long battery life with external gpu till now.

So, this is an issue I been having for a week now. I recently got me a Minisforum DEG1 with a RX7900XT and decided to try them out with Oculink on my Ayaneo Flip DS. Now, everything's hooked up well (or at least it would seem so, I guess) since the GPU's fans are spinning, however it doesn't show up in the Device Manager like at all. The Flip's iGPU does though.

Can anyone help? It's become pretty tedious at this point and I don't really know what to do. I tried using DDU to remove the iGPU's drivers but it ain't helped much.

stupid question but can you add an egpu by m.2 to any laptop, im pretty new to this egpu thing and i desperately need an upgrade.

Also, what do i need for the upgrade other than the gpu

Also Also how does the order process on those r43sg:s work?

I currently have a workstation with a 7950X CPU, 96GB of RAM, and dual RTX 4090 GPUs, which has been performing exceptionally well. However, I now need to scale up by adding more GPUs to run AI models continuously.

I initially considered connecting additional GPUs to my workstation and created a post about it here. While exploring eGPU forums, I came across another post discussing connecting multiple eGPUs to a Thunderbolt 4 PC using a Thunderbolt 4 hub/dock. Now, I’m wondering if this might be a better approach as the workstation happens to have 2 USB4 ports.

This image from the forum post explains the gist of the idea.

For the adapter, I plan to purchase a Belkin Connect Thunderbolt 4 Core Hub as it’s the most affordable option, along with three TH3P4G3 enclosures. I’ll also use an Akitio Node for the second USB4 port.

Reasoning:
My workplace is not very technical, so I want to keep the setup as simple as possible in case someone else needs to maintain the workstation. Also, this equipment can be easily used with other workstation, since we may expand into an actual server in the future.

Any thoughts on this approach?

Hi guys. I am on the journey to build a diy egpu rig. Im planing to use: Asus Radeon 7900 GRE ( gpu ) and i bought the enclosure: https://lian-li.com/product/a4h2o/?cn-reloaded=1. Since the case doesnt have a pre installed tb3 port and i dont intend to add up a MOBO basicaly the frontal ports are useless , can i connect the rig to the asus ally x like this: Displayport cable from the GPU to a dock station and from the dock station a TB4 cable to the ROG Ally. The gpu only has displayport ports and hdmi ports.

Hi,

I Own a GPD G1 and Win Max 2 (2024 with windows 11) for 4 months now and they both have their quirks and negatives but also positives. I dont see much discussion on the G1 so was wondering if anyone is using a similar set up to mine and has experienced the same difficulties.

Previous AMD update stopped the G1 starting any game but it seems this was for most eGPUs. Now it seems the eGPU currently does not get recognised by monitors regardless of using HDMI or DP. has anyone else encontered this? i've been searching but unable to find a similar issues.

Tested this on 2 different monitors and tested direct to the laptop to confirm it is the G1 that is causing the issue. Was thinking to do a bios update but no way to confirm if this is the 2023 version or the 2024 version G1 and GPD strangely removed the bios update from their website so its only available from Driox website.

Also, if anyone if thinking of buying one i'm happy to provide feedback.

Those whom have one in the UK, did you pay anything at customs??

Hi All,

I have a 2020 MSI GL65 9SE that doesn't have a thunderbolt only a USB-C gen1 would I still be able to use an eGPU or is it not possible?

Right now I have Lenovo laptop with 4060 in it and it's quite powerful for my needs. I'm on my way to new windows handheld but with egpu (which I obviously need if I want to fully replace my current device) it going to be a bit pricey... In my region selling a laptop of this price (around 1000 dollars) can be very hard, so selling it may take a long time. Now, maybe a strange question, but I need to ask it: is there a way to turn fully functional laptop into egpu without taking it apart? If there a way to - please help me with this!

I have an HP Pavilion 15 gaming laptop with an adt link r43sg adapter With that adapter and laptop I use an RTX 2060 gpu and that works just fine and it is my current setup

However I USED to use an RTX 3070 and that used to work just fine. However one day it stopped detecting the gpu. The fans still spin and the lights are still on. And before you ask, at this time I do not have another way to test if the rtx 3070 works in another machine

But let's say (hypothetically) | did have another way to test it and I confirmed it worked. What could be the issue with this gou no longer working after previously working?

Recently picked up a Minisforum UM870 slim (32/1tb) and this thing has been a blast, performance and loudness wise. I've not been much off of a gamer as of late. However I did recently pick up the itch to play something again. The integrated 780M seems plenty powerful for older games at 3440x1440p. However there are some newer games I think would benefit from a more powerful graphics card.

I've been looking at the AOOSTAR AG02 (the new version which is on preorder until January 15th). Could this work well over USB4? In general I'm looking for advice if it's worth it to buy such a device. AOOSTAR seems like somewhat of a reputable brand from the research I did prior to purchasing a "mini-pc". Would it be safe to preorder from AOOSTAR and is USB4 enough bandwidth wise? From what I've read this dock is supposed to come with a better controller compared to older eGPU boxes. Would start off with a 2070 super from my late desktop.

Worth the preorder? Any other suggestions?

Hi Reddit,

I've had my Razer Blade Stealth 13 (2020) for a few years now and got an eGPU Razer Core X with a GeForce RTX 3060 a year or so back. Since then I've worked out a few kinks and everything has been working fine. I play World of Warcraft pretty much on a daily basis, have played Ghost of Tsushima, Diablo 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 etc. without any issues whatsoever.

Tonight I installed Baldur's Gate 3 again and began playing. Within 10-20 minutes the screen goes black and into rest mode, eGPU fan and lights shuts down. The laptop is still on but taskbar isn't there (it's usually on the monitor connected to the eGPU) and I can't do anything with keyboard. It's hard to say if the keyboard and mouse work at all seeing as the main screen is the connected monitor.

If I disconnect and connect the Thunderbolt cable the fans and lights go on in the eGPU again but screen stays in rest mode and nothing else changes. Has never happened before and seems still to be isolated to Baldur's Gate 3. Last time I played the game it worked 100% all the way.

Has anyone had this issue or something similar, perhaps even a fix? I've found some things that are slightly similar on Reddit and other forums but nothing that seems to describe this exact issue.
