Hi Guys,
As always I'm on the lookout for ways to beef up the graphics capabilities of my laptop. In the past, I have mentioned a number of Kickstarter projects that looked promising at first but didn't come to fruition.
Today I came across eX Core, a very compact, upgradeable and portable GPU solution that is being pitched at a reasonable price.
I'd like to hear your comments on whether you feel the eX Core might be the way to go?

Re: Turn Your Laptop into a Gaming RIG! meet the eX Core™Curious about price and amount of memory,
Re: Turn Your Laptop into a Gaming RIG! meet the eX Core™It looks like they used Indigo Renderer for the rendering time comparison on that BMW.
I skimmed over the page linked, so forgive me if the information was provided there somewhere, but: This probably requires TB3 connector for the amount of data transfer? Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.
Re: Turn Your Laptop into a Gaming RIG! meet the eX Core™Yes JuJu, appears to be the only current option is TB3. Here is the spec,

Re: Turn Your Laptop into a Gaming RIG! meet the eX Core™The 1050 would be a deal breaker for me. It depends on what you want to run and its better than nothing but more sooner than later I'm afraid the need for more power will rise again. Also, it has not enough power to do even low end vr which would be a nice option.
Edit; a nice list of eGPU enclosures can be found at https://egpu.io/external-gpu-buyers-guide-2018/
