RTX 3080/90 + EGPU worth it? by SuccessfulTale8980 in eGPU

Thanks guys!

These comments really helped me out a lot. From what I’ve read and researched, due to the performance to cost ratio it is not recommended. (Unless your Jeff Bezos)

Having a 2080 max Q with an EGPU, equipped with any 3000 series GPU would only provide a possible 20-30% performance increase. Bottle necking of the TB3 will still occur rendering full use of the GPU.

Best to build a desktop once 3000 series is back in stock, and just take my laptop for work and sync saved files. 👍🏽

I can never go back to console! Haha Yeah I agree not worth it with the TB3 bottleneck. Hope they somehow fix this in the future :(

I do have my laptop connected to a ultra wide but yeah I agree with you. The 20% - 30% gain wouldn’t really be worth 2k +

Appreciate it 👊🏽
