Welcome to the new episode of which I can't afford

[@hoven-lh8wq]

I can afford that but the price/performance is so bad.

[@12rsz]

Come back on Black Friday, (better be quick when that day is there.)

[@DC3Refom]

@@hoven-lh8wq exactly , the 80 series is even worse 75% more over 3080 10gb , 95% price increase in Europe and for that your getting 50%-60% more performance for the 4080 16GB , Jensen is seriously taking the piss.

Even if you can afford it, it'll be not worth the bucks.

[@beataoo]

@@hoven-lh8wq yep, 3060 with is the most cost effective GPU btw

[@VSN1001]

I believe the main reason for the performance discrepancy between the 2 laptops is due to the way thunderbolt 4 is being implemented. The i7-1260P has TB4 build into its main CPU die while the i9-12900HX does not have native TB4 so it requires another IC, the Intel Maple Ridge TB4 controller which may be causing problems

[@AdriMul]

Here with the HX CPU, because of the discrete Thunderbolt controller, the data flow has to go through the motherboard chipset first and thus has to compete with other things like storage or wifi. In-CPU Thunderbolt implementation is definitely the way to go to have the best eGPU performance as it means the eGPU is pretty much directly connected to CPU PCI Express lanes.

[@ivanbrasla]

TB4 has not changed bandwith with respect to TB3. It still has 4 lanes of PCIe 3.0, while the 4090 is a 16 lane PCIe 4.0 card, or 8 times more bandwith. That's way it runs like crap

[@JarrodsTech]

Probably, I just assumed they were the same as the Intel ark page didn't really make it clear that there were thunderbolt differences, so this seems to be a downside for hx.

[@cldpt]

@@JarrodsTech quite a shame you went through all the trouble using a problematic, not ideal higher TDP laptop, such as a 12700H, 12800H or 12900H

I can confirm that resizable BAR is an issue for Thunderbolt eGPUs. Under Linux I've had to outright disable it in order to increase eGPU performance. Fortunately with Linux I can set kernel boot parameters to enable me to do so regardless of BIOS settings or anything. I have no idea if Windows has any similar options or functionality.

[@alexamderhamiltom5238]

considering moving to linux RN, since my company just ditched office and using google sheet. like how many hour is needed to setup it? is steam os have no major problems to use egpu with USB 4?

[@Tri-Technology]

Is it possible to run the eGPU with the old drivers without resizable BAR?

[@Martin1519]

This is great but I wanted to see benchmark comparison before the Egpu and after Egpu on the same laptop as well.

[@DailyShit.]

It would be horrendous with the smaller laptop without a dedicated graphic card.

[@gurshair]

Thanks for the amazing vid. EGPU's have never stopped gaining my interest, I just wish they got better with new tech.

[@mikecrawford9537]

I'd be most interested in testing the 3070ti with the i7-1260p compared to the 3070ti in the tower. I think this is likely true for 95% of others watching this video, as very few want to drop stupid money on a 4090. Some thing even more common such as a GTX 1080 or 1070 eGPU i7-1260p / tower comparison would be even better.

[@frostilver]

Agree. 4090 as eGPU is simply stupid. Most people want eGPU not because of they want the ultimate performance, but because they don't want to buy both laptop and desktop.

[@bogdand.4987]

I'm having 1240p with 3060 eGPU, it's pretty fine. But laptop with 3060 can outperform it I guess

[@thokchomrajeshsingha]

@@bogdand.4987 is it possible to connect eGPU (RTX 3080) to my laptop MSI GP62 6qf with type-c 3.1.

[@swesleyc7]

USB c looks identical to thunderbolt ports. If it's just USB c 3.2 it won't work. It has to be a thunderbolt port.

[@DailyShit.]

Exactly. A comparison of "eGPU vs dGPU" with the "same" card is the comparison i want. I don't need gaming on the go as much but I would like to use the same laptop for everything and connect it to the eGPU for gaming and 3d modeling at home.

[@Roll_the_Bones]

Jarrod, I bought a Razer Core X several yrs ago as a gamble to boost up my outclassed old i7 7700HQ Omen15 1060MaxQ, using an RTX2060. It benchmarked at approx 95% of the average desktop 2060, and was amazing tbh. Maybe pushing the limits, it was upgraded with a 3060Ti last yr, and STILL benchmarked 95% of desktop average for that card, and (with CPU undervolting, GPU overclocking, & 16GB RAM) I can still play competively with my ancient 7700HQ laptop, eg. 105fps on Battlefield 1 ultra. But, I do think this is the limit for TB3/4, and my next PC will have to be a desktop build, I can't see eGPU being a viable use for an expensive RTX4-series graphics card on any laptop. RIP eGPU beyond RTX3060Ti.

[@furynotes]

Yeah. I think it’s the fact that the higher end laptop has a dedicated gpu. I remember in the early years of thunderbolt 2/3. It was easier to install and run a egpu on igpu only laptop vs a laptop with a dgpu.

[@abelolsen9656]

Do you have M.2/PCIe eGPU connector? Will it perform better, if using it? Or is Thunderbolt superior on laptops?

[@collegemathematics6698]

Hi J., Lenovo legion slim 7 (AMD) or asus zephyrus g15? Which one is better. Also, is it real that the battery life of the slim 7 is poor as Matthew Monis say?

[@Tigerex966]

Question is there a way to mode an egpu to combine 2 tb ports for double the bandwidth.?

[@georgema99]

Good review. I'd thought about having an external gpu with an HX cpu but not based on these results. Looks like an HX with an 3070 or 3080 is in my future. Depends on black Friday pricing.

[@dr.dylansgame5583]

Hey just bought a GPD Win 4 and enjoying it but thinking for future how docked usage of getting an E GPU Oculink Setup. Do you think a 4090 or 4090ti would be worth it in that case. And on that note if it is would a 4090ti fit in that case?

[@and.l1ve]

I heard that PCI-E M.2 connection is more direct and has less overhead than using Thunderbolt. It would be interesting to compare with this connection as well, who knows. Of course with 4-lanes PCI-E setup, as there are a plenty of 1-lane setups on the market.

[@JennyDarukat]

Wondering how much of a gap there would be with something more like a 4070 Ti, 7900 XT (or even more so, an 7800 once available). Going all out on the top of the top with eGPU clearly doesn't make sense at the moment, but depending on how much performance loss there is for the more attainable, upper midrange products, this may still be quite interesting. Context: considering to wait for the next generation of Frameworks (which, should hopefully include the Thunderbolt bandwidth upgrades you mentioned) and looking at a viable eGPU for an above-midrange solution. Coming from an Omen 15 4800H/1660Ti.

[@roadtofxmaster]

Wonderful Video, Jarrod. Can you also test the eGPU + Laptop performance on the Blender, Redshift rendering? I currently have the Legion 12700+3060, wandering to buy a eGPU to boost my laptop or to sell my laptop and buy a whole new 4090 setup. Thanks Bro.

[@dharma.vibrates]

Thanks for the video , can you please tell me what are the motherboards requirement for external GPUs?

[@Tigerex966]

For better performance you could hook up directly to the pcie 4 ssds slot.. It carries none of the bottlenecks if thunderbolt and should get twice the bandwidth, assuming you can get it to work?

[@IndraBuanaCom]

Maybe the best implementation of e-GPU is in the house, eg: RoG Flow, which I recalled that using Thunderbolt only reduce the performance by much than using the full XG

[@HollywoodShono]

You got the 3090TI to fit in the eGPU? I couldn't get my Founders Edition to fit. I however, did not try just taking the case off.

[@omegamalkior1874]

Just as fyi, Halo Infinite needed to have ReBar turned off in Nvidia Profile Inspector for driver 522.25 for it to work right on my eGPU 3070. I assume that's the case here alongside Watch Dog: Legion. With my 3070 I get 70-90 FPS at 4K and 130-160 FPS at 720P, so more graphics horsepower like the 4090 has would have definitely made the eGPU shine as it's not that bandwidth limited.

I'm doing the same thing with a 4080 and am searching for power supplies - it's not ideal. (This is for ML not gaming btw.) The 4080 has a 3x8-to1x16 pcie cable and only requires 320W with a 750W PSU recommended. I plugged in 2x8 to the adapter and I think it just didn't turn on, though the Core X can support up to a 500W GPU. So now I'm going to look for a power supply with 3pcie ports and connect that to the GPU. Question - once you hooked up the extra PSU to the GPU, did the laptops recognize the GPU automatically?

[@t-90islife95]

I don't have a laptop or a pc but i wanna see if rog will be making a portable 4090 like they did with the 30 series that u can plug on their laptop

[@SudokuMann]

If there's a way to do it, it would have been interesting to see one of the worst performing games for the laptops in a set up where the desktop is using the eGPU, making it posible, for example, to check the impact of resizable BAR, or maybe to use it as a best case scenario.

[@caseymurray7722]

How do wifi and other usb devices affect the performance or bandwith of the USB connection? It think it would also be intersing to compare these results to a lower tier graphics cards to see if it would match the perfomance due to lmitations.

Thanks for another good eGPU video Jarrod! I would really like to a full guide eGPU set up video from you! I've been fighting with an egpu to work properly for months now, but it's hard to find any good trouble shooters or guides out there, especially videos. I found out that there is an issue with windows 11 and tb4 drivers with intel 12th gen CPUs. Thunderbolt controller isn't present in device manager. I had to install win10 to just connect to my rtx 3090/mantiz egpu. But even now, Performance is better with the laptops inbuilt 3060 card in almost every single case than it is with the 3090. External display with the laptop screen and gpu turned off doesn't make any noticeable differences either which is weird as well. I imagine that I would know a lot more about TB issues and other egpu errors if you had included some of that installation process in your videos, becasue I've watched all of your egpu videos and will keep doing so! 🙂

Would like to see USB 4 testning aswell. Should work?

I would love to know how this setup works for 3D renders (using the eGPU of course) with Cinema 4D, Blender, etc. Would this be ok or disappointing too? I am forced to use a laptop to travel around and would be amazing using an eGPU at home to speed up my renders, :) What do you think?

I was actually planning to connect a “spare” 6800XT to my daughter’s 10th Gen laptop. Thoughts on whether that would actually improve performance over the mobile RTX 2070 that is built in? I don’t currently have a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosure to test it with, unfortunately.
