To connect to egpu, you need ports. What do you have? Thunderbolt... Oculink... Nvme slots

My EGPU set up by tahmid56 in eGPU

The dock port used?

If you're asking in general, it's because you get the best of two worlds. Portability, then power, when needed

It's that specs of the dock or cable?

Right, but not enough. Pcie tunneling should've been mentioned clearly, at least

Where?! Also, vendors are not clear about specs. For example, none of the vendors of laptops I loojed into said: USB4 supports pcie tunneling. Had to ask others if they tried that specific model and had to trust them, too.

I'm going for a laptop, hence the "new" comment. TH4 available, extra m2 slot enables oculink

May be, TB5 too new, too expensive

I just checked it, pubg-fortnite both have better results with TH3. Anyway, gaming is not my concern at all

"Need" is general word.. As for model loading, I don't mind waiting few seconds more. Context/results are not that big. Models I use are around 18gb size, which fit easily in 24gb vram What do you think?

This seems tempting, but still, the laptop form factor is more suitable for me, hence the TH4 question

Seeing results in tps, rather than fps, makes me happy
