Damn that is actually a good idea. This is like SNES slotting Game Doctor on it. Put a PCIE slot on the case where you can open a cover, slot a GPU in the slot and you get better gaming experience. All they have to do is figure out how to give power to the GPU (another power brick that pass through the case to the GPU)

​@MrHhkjhkj I've bought this exact setup for £775 I'm a bundle of the gti 14 (I9 185H) and Docking Station. I've also purchased an RTX 4080s Asus Pro Art to pair with it. As this GPU can ve used in this setup with virtually zero performance loss. So far super chuffed with the setup. I leave the mini pc on 24/7 as my plex server etc. Then when I want to game or use photoshop quickly attach to the dock. IMO far better than my old gaming laptop which cost more in total and had nowhere near as good performance. The final bonus to me is if I ever want to upgrade to a full gaming pc I'm already halfway there with a gpu which should hopefully remain relevant for the next 5 years or so

Something which would cost a lot of energy with the itx pc and potentially reduce the Dgpu lifespan if was powered all the time?

Recently connected a 4090 to a PCIe gen4 which has only 4 lanes, and the performance loss in games was 10-15% compared to X16, well, I think 8 lanes hardly limit a gpu of such power. And this mini PC seems to support PCIe gen5, but GPUs that support that generation have not yet been released, so this mini PC still has a reserve for future upgrades
@JohnSmith-op7ls
@JohnSmith-op7ls 2 ай бұрын
You’ll be limited with 8 lanes on next Gen GPUs so this is not a good buy if you want something to last you a good 5-6 years like it should. Plus even with a 4090, 8 lanes could saturate with sharing bandwidth with the Ethernet chip. Considering the cost, they should have just made it a little more expensive, given you 16 lanes, and it would have been worth it knowing you’d be good for the next two gens of GPUs if not three.

I assume there may be some turbulence. Bottom of the mini PC has mesh so I assume it's designed to pull air through the bottom and past all the components to cool them and then blow through the heatsink and out the back with the blower fan. But if you have a GPU opposite, it would pull air away from this and cause some turbulence.

This is an amazing idea overall for a mini PC can fit in your pocket and easy to take around, and add the GPU only when you want to game. However, the design is very flawed.

idk if air gets disrupted too much, I've seen much more sandwiched 4090s on miniITX cases, it seems there's about one inch of separation, that's perfectly fine, and it's also only affecting the first fan a a bit of the central one. What I think it's a missed oportunity is, what couldn't they make the pci slot full x16. And they only sell one miniPC compatible with this dock, which is about $1000, with an intel CPU that is about on par with a Ryzen 7840HS. You can get 7840HS miniPCs for $250 so.... getting one of these with the pci slot would be amazing, having to pay $1000 for the only one compatible with this dock is not.

Can it be used without powering on the external graphics card? Let's say you don't want to do any gaming, and are just using the computer for simple Internet browsing, 2D tasks, or watching video streams from various streaming sites? If it can be ran in this mode, do the display cables need to be moved to the back of the miniPC? Or can they be left on the external graphics card? Finally, how does one update the graphics drivers for an external graphics card? Is it the same as if the card is in a desktop system with the GPU installed in a PCIx16 slot?

I think you're the first one to do a video on this setup, thanks. If I'm not mistaken, this could be the most powerful Mini PC setup as of 08/2024 because of direct the x8 gpu slot. Now all we need is a x16 and it would be perfect!

Well it wouldn't hurt, but x8 slot doesn't bottleneck RTX 4090. According to Techpowerup even with PCIe 1.1 x16, which has the same transfer rate as PCIe 4.0 x2, RTX 4090 still retains over 80% of performance and is faster than RTX 3090 ti.

@@Codeblack_the_1 According to their test 8x didn't bottleneck 4090 at 4K. At lower resolutions it did. At PCIe 4.0 x4 4090 still had over 90% of full power. Their test few years ago with 3080 showed that at 4K 3080 with AGP transfer speeds is still faster than 3070 with PCIe 4.0 x16

this dock sounds like a total game-changer! The fact that it's now packing an RTX 490? That’s a beastly upgrade, turning this Mini PC into a legit AAA gaming powerhouse. I get the slight hesitation from the presenter, but honestly, pushing the limits like this is what it's all about! The built-in power supply and that blazing-fast PCIe x8 slot make this setup feel super refined and performance-focused. It's exciting to see this level of innovation packed into such a small form factor. Can't wait to see what it can do!

12:36 you know, when the car turns right at high speed, the right side of the car should rise up as if it is going to be flipped over (if you over do it). But the cars in the video game don't do that, and it gives me an impression that the cars are like floating on the road

I like the that it has DDR5 RAM, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. However, too much extra just to get RTX 4090. Might as well build a customized gaming tower. Another option is the Minisforum HX99, which is good for optimized games at 1440 resolution and 1080p resolution with high settings.

You could DEFINITELY undervolt that 4090 and drop the wattage while keeping clocks high I'm pushing a stable 2025MHz on a 3080ti FE @ 0.968v, using between 250w-318w tops I really do like this concept though; being able to bring a heavy-duty rig around while traveling has been one of the things I've wanted to do for many years - glad to see that's becoming a real possibility nowadays; just need to find a way to amp up those frames

As these EGPU docks start to become more popular. Would like to see in future desktop server setup with EGPU on rackmount system. Wondering that would allow easier access/upgrade/adjust between GPU. Basically thinkin running it on linux naturally. But i think occulink/ or similar still needs to reach better transferspeeds and allow full pcie 16x 4.0 performance to this one to be more ideal.
