Use code: GG15 to take off $15 from the $59 Refurbished price. It auto-applied for me.
The normal price for these "NEW" is $100.
1. You will need a regular PC PSU to power the dock/GPU.
2. Your PC will need an Oculink port or spare M.2 slot on the motherboard to use this.
3. These only allow 4 PCIE lanes for data transfer. Not the full 16 PCIE lanes like a GPU or motherboard has. Most GPUs can't even use the full 16 PCIE lanes. You will get very good performance out of any GPU, but you may not get FULL performance if you're an FPS chaser. As an example:
An RTX 4090 loses between 17%-23% performance by using Oculink - Tom's Hardware [tomshardware.com]. Of course, results will vary with other PC and GPU specs.
4. Oculink is faster than Thunderbolt 3/4.
4. Oculink is NOT hot-swappable like Thunderbolt. PC must be powered off to connect/disconnect the eGPU.
・ PCIe 4.0 x4 (64GT/s)
・ Supports RTX 4090/7900XTX (Should support most any GPU as long as your PSU can power it. I think it was just saying that you can use the highest end GPUs at the tiem this released.)
・ Signal amplifier chip
・ ATX/SFX PSU compatible
・ Host-sync auto startup

If the device does not have native support.
Any device with a free NVME or PCIe can be modified to support this.
While most use cases are to add a GPU.
You could technically add any PCIe device.
Mostly you will see laptops or mini PCs adding a GPU.
In my case, I have a 1L Lenovo Tiny connected with a GPU.
You can also use an Oculink to m.2 adapter with a Thunderbolt 4/USB4 SSD bay to use this egpu as a TB4 egpu with almost identical performance.
