Hi all,
Just wondering how progress is on eGPU docks? I want to upgrade my GPU at some point and thought it might be cool to put it in a dock and connect it to a laptop. The laptop has a couple thunderbolt ports.
How’s compatibility these days?

It’s more than slight! I ran a 3090 in an eGPU for a while and it lost around 40% of performance compared to when it was in my case.
That can depend on a lot of factors, though. From the bus of the enclosure to the speed of the USB port and cables you used.
I wouldn’t have expected a 40 percent drop on the modern USB standards, but I’d still expect a drop. I was thinking closer to 20 percent.
