eGPU docks? (programming.dev)
submitted 10 months ago by Matty_r@programming.dev to c/linux@lemmy.ml

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
