Happy to see people are still into this 👍
i just fried my nvidia gtx 1650 ti mobile
so yeah i'm buying a new epu now
its getting more popular lately with oculink since the handheld came into existence
To all my fellow broke gamers, there's hope ❤
Real, I found an empty pc case in a dumpster so I’m doing this to my laptop and making a switch style pc
Thank you very much for this experiment, and sharing your reasoning.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support! 🙏
No idea this even existed but definitely was looking for something like it. Thank you!
This seems like a nice pairing with a handheld
That's actually not a bad deal. I have no need for one of these but I find them fascinating. Thanks for the vid. I would like to see the benchmarks without the igpu to compare with/without it.
funny enough I just saw this dock advertised to me and was curious how it would work and bam this video showed up in my recommended, great video!
A major problem you will have is the T480 only has x2 lanes dedicated to the Thunderbolt. Sad really. At least with the newer Lenovo is adding an Occulink port. And an Occulink dock is only $30-40
what is the port…m.2 or thunderbolt
@hareezbenjamin2085 thunderbolt 3 (with only 1 pcie lanes vs the 4 of higher-end tb3 or tb4)
Jason churning out the vids like a wildman!
Working my ass of for you bro ❤️
@@JasonWitmerYT Off*
I needed this video
thanks!
Thé excitement in your voice >>>>> 🔥
tu est francophone ?
yes
i have an Alienware Alpha R2 with the Graphics Amplifier eGPU and a GTX 1660 ti and its great. Alienware uses a proprietary connector which connects directly to the CPUs PCIe lanes so theres no performance loss or overhead like there is with Thunderbolt.
Another great option OneDock EGPU.
The PSU can be a laptop charger intead of this whole block, if you value portability. (+ cleaner look)
It also support thunerbolt 4 and Occulink.
Which charger did you replace the brick with?
@@D1mj28 Slim Q 330w charger.
There are 450w and 600w chargers but for my need that was enough.
@@helmeston which dc converter would I have to get for it too fit?
That's good to know, my asus rog comes with a 350w AC charger :D
@@helmeston ?
Good information.. With the integrated GPU not being used, does that mean more thermal headroom is available to the CPU to reach higher sustained performance?
I currently have a laptop with a 3050TI on it. Solid CPU of i5 12500h. And might consider this kind of setup when the 50 or 60 series drop in the future if the GPU cant keep up anymore
TDP of the CPU is limiting the already weak CPU. Also the voltages are high for the frecuency. 3.5Ghz on 14NM+++ needs 0.980 mV.
very inticing, i'll look more into this, might be a solution for my needs :D
Would having an external colling cpu system be better for a 24/7 gaming laptop ? or do gaming laptops get hot ? I love this idea for having the option to not use so much power for glamping/solar setup.
if you unpluged this would your computer go to the default drivers automatically or do you have to do it manually?
dude i have a legion go, and a rx7600 pc desktop, and im moving out so i cant take the Desktop, so i was searching cheap solution as Egpu or selling the PC. and now i can use my GPU and PSU from my desktop to were i go until i build a new one
turned out pretty good
Lookin pretty good
How is it for using gpus to render video like Sony Vegas? Does it not perform as well? Would be another interesting test to see the results for and if its worth it as some sort of alternative upgrade.
😭😭bro the “pretty good” counter , I love this
If I plugged it out, the laptop automaticly using internal GPU from laptop ? Not require to uninstall the EGPU drivers ?
i see Jason vid, i click (I have exams tomorrow)
I'd love to get a BeeLink mini pc and connect this up to it.
Maybe I could get a used 1060 6GB card and an SER5 mini pc.
The SER5 mini pc is around €330 or £280, the gpu is about €85 (including delivery) and the egpu is about €150. So for about €550 or €500 if you got the egpu cheaper, you could have a pretty kick ass little pc setup.
Just use the mini pc when you are just doing general web browing to save power but when you want to game just simply plug in the gpu and away you go.
How much power do you expect to save?
great video!
This works very well with all the 2018 Mac Minis out there. They have 8th Gen multi-core i3s, i5s, and i7s. Their downside is Intel integrated graphics. In fact, until the M1 Macs, they were the system of choice for many video editors. As you mentioned early in your video, the cost of eGPUs has been historically high. This $100 option brings that into the realm of usability.
Will this work with a dell latitude 7480, it does have a thunderbolt port but I am not sure which kind, the laptop has a i7-7600u and 16 gigs of ram
Can you make a video of your experience after 1 months use,and impact on pc
Is there a Graphics card compatibility list for this unit? thanks..
What is the case used with the EVGA GTX Hybrid? The ones I found do not have a front mesh.
Now, what laptop would be a good option for an eGPU setup with an RX 570 4GB? Does anyone have good recommendations.
Can you run ollama using CUDA with this setup?
subscribed i used a old OptiPlex 3010 to game on, years ago hehe
i have a dell g15 5515 ryzen edition it has a 3050 ti laptop gup in it would it help preformance to get one of these with another graphics card??
At the time of this comment I just got a really good deal from Microcenter on a 12600kf, an MSI Pro Z790-P Wifi DDR4, 16 gigs 3200 memory for $250- bought individually I priced it at between 400-500. Pretty sure they still have the deal going on. If you need a cheap good gaming build that's what I'd be looking at. The wifi on this board is really good too.
Just FYI. You can split the 24 pin and 8 pin and run 2 GPUs with one PSU with those setups.
It says it wont work with usb c 3.2 gen 2 (10gbps), i want to pair with rx 6700xtm, will it work?
Literally my laptop except mine had 16gb + 1tb storage. I think a cooling pad or leaving the lid open ( screen off) might help to stabilize the lows. Although the bottleneck is inevitable thunderbolt 3 has an x4 lanes for the PCIe at 5 Gbps vs a desktop X16 or x32, ~20-30% hit vs a desktop but hey it can run Crysis!
this sounds great for xmas when i go to my parents and can only bring a laptop. can just pop your gpu and a psu and away you go!
Veo estoy muy interesante para sacar provecho en gaming a las tarjetas gráficas de mineria sin puertos de salida de video que se venden. Evidentemente instalandoles la bios original.
Puede q este equivocado por mi ignorancia.
I own a T480s and I am considering this setup with rtx 3060 12gb. Can you please share your experience of using generative ai software like stable diffusion and share it with us?
The reason why I am asking this is because I'm into this stuff and wanna know if my laptop (same specs like yours) can actually do stuff like this.
Thanks in advance brother. ❤
I have a NUC with a 1165 and still my older 580.
I think this could be fun.
Hi do you think this will with my msi gl 75se? Thank you.
Think the ideal usecase for the eGPU is handhelds ... I have just bought the Lenovo Go, and like the form factor and am thinking of retiring my gaming desktop, pulling out the 2070super and doing this. I assume the AMD Extreme is a much more capable CPU than the i5.
The Go is a pretty decent setup, and I was starting to move away from gaming...3 days in, and its been a bit of a reset for me. Started buying some indie games, in-between PC, Console, and Mobile phone games. Early days but the more flexible form factor is interesting.
What is the “game over” smart rtx gpu that is shown?
eGPU enclosure: 100$
GPU: at least 300$
Power supply: 50$
That's 450$ for a cumbersome setup, and doesnt even include a laptop. For 800$ you can buy a decent gaming laptop from Asus or MSI.
But still, I think it's great if you have all the spare parts lying around or maybe to game on your work computer...
Upgradability 0,
Well, I guess I've found my next "litte brother" gaming pc.
I want one of these simply to run 4 4k monitors for work
Could I theoretically use a higher wattage power supply (850watt) and the 3060TI on this with my dell latitude 5330 and external monitors (It has 2 thunderbolt4 ports)? Because these are parts I was already planning on buying down the road for a desktop PC build I'm saving up for.
Of course, a higher wattage power supply wouldnt hurt anything :)
Would have liked to see a Timespy Benchmark for the metrics!
Used to test all my built systems using Unreal Tournament GOTY. Just shows how long I've been in the IT game.
You should use oculink, its cheap has better performance than Thunderbolt, only side effect is, you need to turn off your computer and then you plug your graphics card
I will double check, but I think the T480 only has x2 lanes for the M.2 and x2 for Thunderbolt. So minimal if any gains, and you will have trouble with storage because there is not a lot of choice. Maybe 2242 M.2 SATA is the only other option.
would this conflict with an existing gpu if you already have a gaming laptop or does the system just just swap it out for the better gpu ?
It swaps!
Have a Dell precision 7730 which its GPU is equivalent to a GTX 1060. But I definitely need more power for games like cities skylines.
I love to see the boosts old laptops get for these upgrades
Congratulations on the nas sponsor bro! Btw I'm about to be filming my first PC build! Laptop just couldn't keep up with video editing you know how it goes as a fellow creator!
Will it support on hp elitebook 840 g2 laptop
My lenevo loq 16 with a 4050 and a thunderbolt 4 would really benefit from this.
can you do this if your gpus die?
I run ai art on my 3080ti all day which uses 70-100% of the gpu so I was thinking about running this setup with my old 2080ti on a laptop for gaming.
Honestly I don't know why more people aren't doing this, but going for dedicated EXPENSIVE and non upgradable external options. I mean it may not be oculink but we can easily buy a used RX 580 and pop it in, and then get a 3060 and pop that in, like... why limit ourselves? Sure it's not the total bandwidth of oculink but it's thunderbolt! It's pretty much universal. For me, 60fps is fine, 120hz is just for competitive kids who want everything to be fast. 60fps is fine and I'm sure this will do just fine. This is great for handheld's.
Great vid! Subscribed! ^_^
This is a great video Buddy
Thanks! Just trying some new stuff lately
would this work with a zbook g3?
Pretty damn good! From pretty good reviewer :))))
Am I really about to take my GPU out of my desktop for travel
Thunderbolt 5 will be the saving grace for eGPUs. TB3/4 still has too much of a performance hit because of the bandwidth limitations of TB3/4 and the requirements of higher-tier modern GPUs.
hey man can you this if u dont need these anymore
do you need an external monitor in order to have the external GPU? or can you run the game on the laptop screen?
Yes external tv or monitor is needed
u can use the laptop screen but u lose some performance
you can use the laptop's screen but expect a performance hit due to the TB cable's bandwidth since data is looping from the laptop to the egpu then back to the laptop
Anyone know if this specific one works with usb 4.0? Would love to see something like this plugged into a rog ally(the normal z1)
ROG Ally doesn't had USB4, the Type-C is only USB 3.2 gen2
You need their proprietary connector to connect eGPU
You were just gonna say "good" then proceeded to correct yourself to "pretty good" 😂
Shoulda tried cyber punk with dlss see if it looked good and reaches 60+fps
Hey man, I don't have a thunderbolt port on my laptop. I really want this setup without stripping my laptop to connect these other things. Is there another way?
Unfortunately not - usual USB ports dont have the required throughput to support it. It's either thunderbolt or NVME slots inside the laptop.
Can you do a video on that too for other people that don't have thunderbolt inputs?
I just wish there's an alternative solution where the GPU and the power supply are housed together neatly and have the same size as a minicomputer. So, for example, if it's the 3060 Ti desktop version, then it's just the GPU and maybe a single high-quality slim fan to cool it. The dedicated PSU or power brick is then designed to draw enough power for the 3060 Ti and that's it. Yes, you can't switch GPUs and PSUs if you want to, but I'm okay with that as long as it's lighter and smaller in contrast to the conventional setup.
The solution in the video is great as it does give you options, like which graphics card and PSU to pair together, but tbh is a little bit bulky and carrying all that weight if you decide to play somewhere else is going to be a hassle.
Most eGPUs are designed how you’re speaking - but they are 3x-5x the price - some do included the GPU though
Would the egpu still work even though my laptop already has a NVIDIA gpu inside
Yep!
Can I use this EGPU set up on a mini itx set up instead of laptop? Im really into building an ITX pc that is small and I can take anywhere but when im at home gaming i can just add this and be good to go.
You could!
Thanks for the quick response. Subd
@JasonWitmerYT do i just use a pci cable and a dedicated power supply to my graphics card and its good to go?
It would be interesting to see a laptop with an intergraded gpu , you guys think it would work ?
It works, it just swaps over to the egpu when plugged in!
Video is pretty good
omfg tysm
hi, how large is the memory of this GPU, I plan to use it for running local AI model
You can easily look up the VRAM of any GPU using google
this is COOL! 👌
my laptop has a 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C, would it be compatible which is a gen 3 port
Only Thunderbolt
incredible that the gpu vents was off whyle the game was running...
Can i connect this to a portable game handheld rog ally?
Absolutely
Werid though could this work on the msi claw since it’s Intel and thunderbolt?
Yep it works on the claw!
@@JasonWitmerYT thanks any werid issue just thinking I have an old Razer box and that could save a lot of money
Great video. But did you see the new one they made? That have power delivery.
what wattage?
@nolanfarley9195 60w PD. From the same vendor. Plus their is Another company that give 80w PD.
Why crapy cpu whats your problem?
I have a lenovo thinkpad p53s, 16gb ram i7 8565u... Will it work?
Yes
Nice logitech k400+ lol. Thought I was the only person who used one
as your saying a crappy I5-sth gen... im watching this in i3-6006U...
What is the little green peice he installs?( Timestamp 2:03)
This is the controller that you plug the thunderbolt cable into
can this play helldivers 2?
Pretty good
do they make the enclosure with a occulink port..?
Im prettu sure they do. I think i saw one on aliexpress not too long ago. Im thinking of doing this for the legion go im gonna get. It will be good for those games that need extra juice.
nice t480!
Stopping all the kids from saying first
Edit: or maybe second
First
As a 40 year old man.: First.
You're still saying first/second, you're just wording it different, people like you are just as annoying as other people who say first.
One hundred and fifty sixth.
@@RobLeonard one hundred seventy-eighth.
pretty good
Thank you very much.
What I am wondering is how far you can push this?
Sadly, my RTX 3050M laptop doesn't appear to have a Thunderbolt port.
It can be pushed only as far as your CPU can be pushed, and the maximum output of a thunderbolt port. If your laptop doesn’t have it, you’ll need to utilize the nvme egpu but I hate those things haha.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
What I am thinking is that next year I will upgrade to a laptop with Ryzen 9-7940HS/RTX 4070, which will definitely have Thunderbolt, and hold open the possibility of eGPU down the road.
Smart idea!
Why doesn’t the gpu fans spin even when you start the game?
