You're very personable and easy to listen to. The PC noises freaked me out as I thought it was my computer, lol. Check out the Xreal Air (original) glasses - perfect edge to edge sharpness. I plug them into my Ayaneo slide and use them for EVERYTHING. Will order the G1 thanks to this video.
Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback. I need to work on those sounds for sure. So annoying. LoL I'll have that figured out for the next one. I'll check those glasses out too. Stay tuned!
I like when you said it up front, made me want to watch the whole video and to listen to your arguments rather than skipping back and forth. the way you present was also captivating for more than 10 minutes, even without many b-rolls. great video.
I was on the fence of getting this as I was afraid of getting buyer's remorse and this device isn't exactly cheap where I'm from. You just convinced me to get it. I always preferred playing games on handheld even if I'm permanently connected to the socket. Great video man!
Really enjoyed your review. Talking without a script and without cutting in one take is really difficult, and I think you have a really nice balance of things to say without rambling (somthing i struggle with). The Windows notifications did distract a little, but once you solve then your videos will flow real nicely. I think you've got a natural talent to this so keep going if life allows you too.
Thank you so much and I appreciate your feedback. It's been very intimidating starting out but im feeling a bit more comfortable each time. Wish me luck and thank you for watching. I appreciate ya!.
The egpu is not badly priced as well so it's well worth the money if you got a hand held the GPD mini or a steam dec or a Lenovo Legion Go or even a Asus Rog ally I be definitely getting the egpu lenovo legion go and the Asus Rogers ally for portable gaming for days out and for holiday as well thanks for the video bud just waiting for some company to do a 4090 egpu that will be Awesome 😅😊❤
I want to buy Minisforum elite mini UM 780 xtx with oculink port. Right now, the only available EGPU that are easy to buy in my country is GPD G1 earlier version and onexgpu. What would you suggest should I get?
Ooooohhh, that 780 XTX is awesome! Good choice. Do you plan to take the dock out of the house at all? What do you see your use case being, and what type of monitor do you plan on using it with? Or will you be connected directly to the internal display? Knowing this will help me give you the best advice.
@@Slyclientthetechdad I rarely go outside because of my business store so the dock will just stay at my store. My current monitor is 1080p 60hz but I'm planning to buy a new monitor 1080p 165hz.
I think the onex gpu would be best for you. The power briick is bigger than the older g1, which makes it less portable. You also have the option to add more storage to the dock. Also, I've heard nothing but good things about it. I love the g1 but since you cant get the newer model, and you dont plan to travel much with it, buy the onex egpu.@@morrisjanjavier394
I got mine and i have the same issues with onexgpu, when i play games it suddenly disconnected and reconnected many times non stop and i don't know why? I am 100% sure i did the full and correct installation method, do you have any idea about this problem?
Hi there, to be clear, do you have the one x version or do you have the G1. Either way you should remove all drivers using DDU driver removal and restore it. If you haven't, don't do this already Definitely do it. There are many videos that will show you how. Also, what pc are you using?
The only other thing I can think of is reinstalling windows 11 on the legion go. Basically reset it to factory settings. I rescently had to do this for another issue I was having. It was USB C port related. Wasnt working but a full wipe of windows and reinstallation solved the problem. Have you tried that yet? It's so strange that you are having these issues. Who did you buy it from? It might be worth considering sending it back. Mine has been flawless
@@Slyclientthetechdad I tried everything.. No luck.. I don't know why when i connected the egpu it give me the notification on different language, the AMD Xconnect it never show on English language i don't know why.. I reinstall everything and install it again and same problem.. I think i will reset my windows 11 and see i hope it will work..💔
Please brother, make a video testing its performance with design and editing programs, you would really help a lot... greetings and blessings to your channel.❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Hey I was wondering if you can help me. I made the mistake of force installing the 120w vbios on my 2024 model without making a backup and just learned it's incompatible with the 2024 version. If possible do you think you can use gpu-z to upload the 2024 model bios online? Thank you!
Oh no, im sorry to hear that. I was actually curious about that bios update myself I didnt know it could be installed on the new G1. I dont have the answer now but I will ask around to some folks I know with the device. Im sure there is a resonable solution. Ill get back to you as soon as I can.
Thank you, I just need someone with the 2024 version to upload the bios and I can fix my unit. The bios available from their site apparently is for the old model but it unfortunately doesn't state that.@@Slyclientthetechdad
An RTX 3080 performs better. I know for sure because I owned a 3080 for 2 years and just recently sold it. If you don't mind a full sized graphics card and don't care about portability, the 3080 is the way to go. The advantage of the G1 is that you can throw it in a backpack and take it anywhere you want. The G1 doesn't perform as well, but the portability of the device is amazing. I hope this helps
@@Slyclientthetechdad Thank you very much. What would you say the G1 can be compared to as an equal? Would you say the 2080? Or still less good than that?
@joethelocator1161 I think that is a very fair comparison. Very similar. I hate to say it but I would always lean towards Nvidia rtx though. One of the things that I wish I mentioned in the video is the AMD Adrenaline driver software. I'm just not a fan of it. If you're interested in the something in the category of these cards you are talking about, you may want to consider the RTX 4060Ti. Your will get comparable performance but better Ray Tracing support. It's cheaper than the G1 too.
@@Slyclientthetechdad Thank you. I'm considering picking up either a Win Mini or WIN Max 2 2024 edition because I really like GPD's concept. But I need it for a game with minimum GPU requirement RTX 2070 8GB but recommended GPU RTX 3080 8GB or faster. I'm not sure if I will be able to get by with either win mini or win max 2 with or without a G1 as well. What would you think?
@joethelocator1161 Awesome, you'll love those GPD devices. Have you considered an EGPU dock? You could buy one with an oculink port and attach a 3080 to it.You could do some research into that. I just bought one and I am waiting for it to arrive. I want to run my 4090 via oculink to the dock. What resolution do you want to game at? Is there a specific game holding you to 2080 to 3080 cards?
@@Slyclientthetechdad omw no way you replied…whilst i have you here, have you seen the minus forum v3👀? There’s only one video on yt right now oooooooh that baby is the ONE.
Hello my friend, i want to know do you think this egpu can run good for a long time?! I bought an onexgpu and i was play all the time with my 2k gaming monitor and it was epic but after 2 weeks it get loud really loud then turned off for no reason, i really want to buy this one but i am afraid this will happen to me again like onexgpu
You should have no problem with the G1. It has worked amazingly well for me. At 100 watts the fans get loud but it doesn't bother me. I run mine for hours at a time, and it has never shut down. I use both oculink and usb4 depending on the situation.
Just wanted to get your opinion I know you were showing the GPD 1. I was looking into a egpu for my Legion go handheld I was looking at the GPD1, ONEX egpu and also just just get the Razer Core enclosure and get a actual graphics card 4070 ti super what would u recommend
Thanks for watching. I think you will find that th G1 works very well with the legion go. if I were you I would definitely consider it. The GPU in the OneX is the same, however the OneX has additional storage options inside the GPU casing. That is a nice addition if you would like to add and extra TB of storage. The only way I would consider the 4070 TI was if you have your heart set on gaming at 1440p. If 1080p is acceptable for you, I would lean towards the OneX or G1. I like the G1 most because it is so professional looking. I love that I can bring it to work and it blends in with everything on my desk.
@Slyclientthetechdad thank you so much for your opinion and keep up the great work on your Channel just one more question. the G1 or the Onex Gpu do u think it would be able to keep up with all the new AAA TITTLES That are comeing out?
@@fabricewr1985 Unfortunately I dont. I think you may get good results over the next year or two but that is about it. I just feel like it will become outdated quickly. This devices is more for the here and now Also to use with your back log of games and run them at a high settings at 1080p. If you are looking to run newer games over the next few years, I would look to get at least the 4070ti that you mentioned. I hope that's helpful.
I personally have the One Dock with an RTX 4060 LP which I'm planning on using with my win mini once it arrives. I just like how it's upgradeable unlike the G1. Weird that the Win Mini gets hot while plugged into an eGPU. I've been using my Win Max 2 with my One Dock and the Win Max 2 barely uses any power, the RTX 4060 does all the heavy lifting. I'm hoping it doesn't get hot with the One Dock setup
I think it still gets hot because it utilizes AMD's Smart Technology. One of thr functions is that it uses bith the G1 and the 780m internal graphics. The previous version had a way to shut this off in the bios so it would only use the G1. I havent gone into the bios to check but with that said, there could be a way to disable this function. If you dont mind me asking where did you get the One Dock? Im looking for an external GPU set up as well. I just refuse to buy anything from Super Buy. It makes me nervous.
@@Slyclientthetechdad I bought it from superbuy. I actually have two One Docks and I'm planning on selling one. I was initially thinking of making one a desktop only eGPU with a beefier graphics card and having another for travel with a smaller low profile graphics card but ever since I upgraded to GPD's 7840U devices, I feel like it's enough for gaming on the go and don't really need the extra performance boost the One Dock would provide. Let me know if you're interested in buying one of them.
@FS-zt6tm Im definitely interested in buying it from you. I preordered the new Win Max 2 and plan to use it docked while using my mini handheld. Do you think I could connect a 4090 to it? Or wouldn't you need to find another option? Also feel free to shoot me an email, and we can discuss price and all that stuff. Ajonesv@outlook.com
@@Slyclientthetechdad It should work but you might get bottlenecked by the CPU. I think the Phawx is running a 4090 with his setup and if I recall correctly, reported about a 10% performance loss over oculink compared to a desktop setup (not 100% sure but if I find the video, I will send it). Btw, the One Dock doesn't come with a power supply so you will have to find one that provides ample enough power to the One Dock and your graphics card (rule of thumb is your graphics card's TDP + 100W) I will shoot you an email to discuss this further.
@@Slyclientthetechdad the Phawx's video of the One Dock was actually a 3090, not a 4090. 4090 might be overkill for the One Dock so I would suggest looking elsewhere for an eGPU setup. One Dock is better suited for low profile cards imo but people are running full sized graphics cards on theirs, it just doesn't look as elegant imo.
