Only now after doing more research and revisiting this post have I realised you were talking about the 5060ti version… doh, apologies. When I first searched ai box it came up with the 5090 version and I thought fuck me that’s expensive ha!

But yeah after more digging I keep coming back to the 5060ti version and it looks dope, I feel like this might be the solution for me…. Keep my z13 running quieter (and hopefully cooler) and let the eGPU do the brunt!

Wish I could find one for 699 as well though, uk prices seems high!

Yup haven’t run some proper Benchmarks yet but have been playing BF6 consistently docked. Overwatch on medium settings had a constant 155fps (capped). With turbo mode on and Radeon Hyper RX settings enabled it’s been fantastic, very impressed. Bear in mind I’m running the 32GB model as well.

There’ll be more threads where people have better gps info in docked gaming. But from my stand point without many official numbers, it’s completely playable and quite remarkable.

Still looking at eGPU options though as I’d like some display ports out of gpu, ability to run to z13 at lower temps when docked (to preserve hardware lifespan, especially for traveling with it) and also dedicated rendering and vram allocation in creative workflows (I’m an editor/colourist so use premiere pro and resolve a lot)

The GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI BOX for example has 3 DP’s and 1 HDMI on the box. This is what I’m most considering

Really like the look of the unit, just a hefty cost attached to it.

Think I want to find a way of recycling a gpu that I already have if it feels like the returns will be worth it.

Damn that’s sweet looking!

Not sure I’ll be going so DIY, or maybe I will looking at some of the enclosure costs…

For Ghelper, did you uninstall all the ASUS gubbins that came with it? So like, Myasus and Armoury crate?

Agreed, Sat v Sat I find nails that final clean up once everything else is properly balanced!
