It is okay to connect the G1 simultaneously to a USB4 port and Oculink Port, the GI will automatically use the 63G OCULINK connection exclusively for the eGPU and the 40G USB4 port for USB-PD and the Hub I/O. That is one area I applaud the GPD team, until we get USB4 V2 or Thunderbolt Next, being able to use both an Oculink port and USB4 port simultaneously is golden.

@maverickvgc4220 Год назад

Another cool thing about plugging in both USB and Oculink is that the Oculink port is going to be left 100% to the GPU and the USB will handle the IO. Don't know about the video coming back to the internal screen tho.

@MrBeetsGaming Год назад

I also like the idea but at the same time kind of don't see why anyone would do it.... It makes sense to me for handhelds since you can just unplug that and take it with you but why would you need a desktop to be in 2 parts? You might as well just buy a small full PC or a laptop at that point it seems like.

This Dock is what I was wishing for a long time. It will pair nicely with Thin & Light laptops too.

I think this is an amazing product and I think it would really be a game changer around a lot of the low-end gaming rigs. For example the single board computer. I would love to see how that is able to bring up numbers on gaming. Some of the super small like the GMK if it has the right IO to be able to use a product like this. If nothing from your channel, I've learned that there are also all sorts of different places where games bottleneck and I think it would be interesting to see a lot of the bottlenecks in those lower end gaming machines with the device like this.

Volume wise it looks similar to the sonnet RX 5700 they used on our Mac instructor consoles so we could get video out to the projector and second monitor(didnt properly clone if capturing from the Mac's built in port) This is much shorter, but also much wider/longer, which is what i want for personal use.

The one thing that annoys me with handheld + egpu setups like this is having to change the graphics settings all the time.

Thank you so much for making this video. If anything, the comparison has solidified my purchasing decision for my next eGPU-enabled device. I'm gonna modify my Aorus Gaming Box 2070 into an oculink version and buy an Oculink-enabled laptop/handheld next. Really hoping Framework comes up with an Oculink module, cause that laptop's looking mighty attractive to me.

@OrPhEeUs Год назад

Isn't most of Frameworks modularity based around USB c? I highly doubt they will have a oculink port, which is pure PCIe.

@maverickvgc4220 Год назад

An oculink module on a framework is going to be useless if not impossible. I don't know if the newer versions with USB 4 support Thunderbolt but even if they do you'd still have to go from pcie to USB 4 and then back to pcie removing any advantage oculink would have brought and losing Thunderbolt's own advantages. If they don't rework the chassis adding an oculink port at the back the only ways I see are an oculink module for the Framework 16 (using its pcie module slot) or cutting a hole in the bottom of the laptop and plug in a 90° m.2 to Oculink adapter.

@hameerz Год назад

@@maverickvgc4220 i think all your assumptions are spot on. Hoping to see if Framework might adopt/embrace a PCIe interface for one of its module *fingers crossed*

@rolfathan Год назад

I usually build my gamings PCs, but I gotta say, with this going on, I very well might go with solutions like this in the future. If I could someday get a laptop and a desktop, and just share one GPU between them by swapping it out? That would be pretty sick. And if it makes its way to some good handhelds? Yes please.

@russianotter 4 месяца назад

I'm so so excited that external GPUs are finally happening, like a in a real, usable way. I remember getting a laptop years ago because I dreamed of playing games on the go, and then of course when it ended up not cutting it, I looked into an egpu. Which was real rough at the time, if you even had one of a limited number of laptops that could even do it. Back then, you were looking at doing it yourself in a big way - part sourcing, wiring, sometimes even making your own registry hacks to get things to work. There weren't really any consumer options, and basically no universal solution. Now, we're finally at a point where we can just sit down with your laptop, plug in a USB cable, and boom, you've got external GPU power. That isn't hindered by the cable, doesn't have a million weird caveats and quirks in how it works. Just awesome.

@kakashi99908 8 месяцев назад

Super cool small device but $655 if you back it now or $795 retail is insane and I can't imagine there exists a robust market. You can put together an entire desktop for that price, or put that towards a gaming laptop with dedicated graphics if you travel... I just don't get it.
