- Hello this is my review of eGPU UT3G v1.6 with my gaming laptop, MSI Claw and Lenovo Legion GO. You will see here bandwidth with and without thunderbolt 4 dock and many games in different resolutions 1080p, 1440p, 4k and ultrawide 32:9 5120x1440. i hope You will enjoy this video. Thanks to ALL for Your support.
ADT-Link UT3G is a USB4 to PCIe x16 eGPU adapter designed to run high-performance GPUs from a single Thunderbolt or USB4 port. The module features a PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 slot and supports transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps. Additionally, support for Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB4 standards

I'm sorry everyone, but I had to re-upload the video due to the detection of 120 seconds of copyrighted background music, even though the song was marked as copyright-free. I hope you will support me with Your likes and great comments (which I didn't have time to respond to) again. thank You all for your support.
Very nice video but the background music is too loud when you are talking.
thanks for the positive comment and feedback about the sound
hi thanks for this video for science, incredible !👏
I found the solution to get more bandwidth with the combination: MSI Claw + UT3G + Thunderbolt HUB.
Indeed, with the TB4 Satechi HUB, there's the Intel TB4 limitation with a 2200 mb/s 3000 mb/s bandwidth on MSI Claw. This is due to the HUB's Intel Goshen Ridge Chipset (TB4) and the MSI Claw.
However, the UT3G is a USB4 ASM2464 chipset with 40 GB of bandwidth. There are bandwidth losses from USB4 to TB4 due to the Intel chipset.
With the Legion Go, there's no loss because it's AMD USB4 and not Intel. Normally, the bandwidth is 3400 mb/s 3600 mb/s with the UT3G , but I bought a Thunderbolt 5 HUB from OWC, which gives more bandwidth with an Intel TB4 chipset.
Now, the TB5 HUB chipset is Barlow Ridge. It provides more bandwidth for the MSI Claw in TB4, but less than for the Legion Go in USB4. According to my data, it's: 2800 mb/s 3600 mb/s on the MSI Claw Intel TB4 chipset. That's still more than the TB4 HUB.
Thanks for showing me this trick with the UT3G/HUB/MSI CLAW combination. I now have a UT3G with the HUB OWC TB5, which allows me to connect all my peripherals (keyboard/mouse/XBox controller, SSD...) I had also tried the Satechi TB4 but there is less bandwidth. I sent it back to Amazon but it worked perfectly.
If you get a chance, try the OWC TB5 HUB (it doesn't cost too much in reality).
thank You for as always for very interesting comment. i will try this hub in near future. also i will do some more tests with what i currently have. thanks again for Your support It's always nice to hear others' experiences with similar equipment. I hope that we will build a nice community here on the channel.
@@ThundTech it was you who got me thinking about using the HUB. Your channel is great with the tests.
So I tried 3 hubs: Amazon Basics HUB TB4, Satechi slim Pro TB4 and OWC TB5. The worst is Amazon Bacisc because I was in PCI E 2.0 and big drops in performance : 1900 /2600 mb/s. Satechi's data is the same as yours: PCI 4.0 and 2200/3000 mb/s And with the OWC TB5: 2800/3600 mb/s.
You can't do better than that with an Intel chipset . I also have the TH3P4G3, which also has 2200/3000 mb/s PCI E 3.0 .
On the OWC TB5 manual, it's stated that it can be used to connect an egpu, which is interesting. there's only a 100 mb/s loss of bandwidth compared with connecting the UT3G directly to the MSI Claw without a HUB (but no power delivery).
I've plugged in the egpu, keyboard/mouse/xbox controller/external SSD (not TB5) and also usb key. You can also plug in a Mac that has a TB port.
I have an RTX 3060TI: I play either a 24" 1080p screen or directly on the MSI Claw with a 2-meter Belkin active Tb4 cable, which is fantastic.
Yes, I had my hub quite a while ago, before I started running the channel, I used it mainly for work. Your comment is very interesting and probably, knowing me; ) I will test your HUB even though it is about $100 more expensive. From what you write, the data stream goes at the same speed as directly between the EGPU and the device (laptop or console). very interesting, thanks for this info.
