    Apparently at SIGGraph'17, NVidia announced a program to certify external GPU interfaces either for Titan XP, or for Quadro GPUs.

    I wonder whether this means they will also certify laptops and mobile workstations.
    Or whether each eGPU certification is restricted to certain pairings of laptops tested with that eGPU.

    (And will they also certify All-In-One and small desktops with TB3. Or even iMacs, helping NVidia with other eGPU makers compete with the Apple External Graphics Development Kit, a Sonnet eGPU & AMD Radeon RX 580.)

    I don't think you can easily use more than 1 gpu at the same time

    This is a good question for egpu.io
