Aorus EGPU?

is there an Aorus Egpu?

Not bad looking, not sure if the LED is on the card inside or the case itself, but I'd say it doesn't need one.

 

"Unlike other external graphics amplifiers however, the Aorus dock will reportedly ship with a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Mini ITX 8G card. But because the dock itself is only slightly larger than the card, its compatibility with other GPUs is still a question mark."

 

Good decision, considering the performance hit.

 

i think that a gtx1080 inside the egpu is better because aorus x3 v7 has a gtx1060 and gigabyte p56 or aorus x5 v7 has a gtx1070.

 

But you get 1070 level performance. Not worth it for the cost at least from what I have seen.

 

yes i know that there is a loss of performance and for this reason if i buy an aorus x3 v7 i would like a gtx1080 inside the egpu.

here another photo of leds

 

I wonder how this would connected to an AORUS notebook, as they have no thunderbolt connections?

Also, I don't get the whole eGPU thing now we have desktop GPU's inside our notebooks.

 

aorus x5 v7 and aorus x7 v7 have a tb3 port

 

Yet the X3 v7 does not. (and the X3 with a 1060 is the only one that can really justify an eGPU).

 

yes, if they will make gigabyte aero 14 and aorus x3 v7 with a tb3 port, their sales would grow imho

 

The X3 v7 and AERO 14 are both already available to order and do not have TB3.

What makes you say the X5 and X7 will have TB3?

 

Noise, temperature, and upgradeability. It's mainly targeted at more portable systems without beastly internal GPUs, but given the cost, buying an ultrabook and a desktop computer can indeed make more sense.

 

At ces 2017 aorus presented x5 and x7 with tb3, and gigabyte presented p56

 

At the moment only dell latitude make that

 

I meant upgrading the card inside an eGPU dock when it gets outdated.

 

Yes i understood.
i say that a dell latitude e5480 with a cpu i7-7820hq could be considered an ultrabook. It has a tb3 port and it could be connected with an akitio node and a desktop gpu like gtx1070/gtx1080 or quadro m4000/m5000

 

Ah, I see. Technically, a notebook needs to be 0.71 inches or thinner and have a screen no bigger than 13.3" to be called an ultrabook, but a non-ULV i7 is a much better pairing, as you insinuated. There are a few more options. I know Razer demoed their Core enclosure with their 12.5-inch, 15W CPU Razer Blade Stealth. There can't be many who'd buy an expensive enclosure and GPU, yet be satisfied with a tiny display and keyboard for hours of gaming. A revised XPS15/5510 with full-bandwidth TB3 and edge-to-edge keyboard would've been way more comfortable, not to mention it's a solution that'd get rid of the CPU bottleneck.
