​@@maxbls16 a 15-20w handheld is not going to compare to a 120w mobile gpu even in 5-7 years. Thats said, you can buy egpu docks that use traditional desktop gpus and which can have the gpus swapped out with a newer one. Of course that solution is much larger so there's tradeoffs.

Yeah, what all these guys said. The use case is very limited at this price since this thing plus a "handheld" or mini pc that would/could use this also runs at least a couple hundred $$, you could easily build a 3.5 liter itx pc that would perform much better and be nearly as portable.

​@@dubletroubleit's a lot of money for the GPU power. I would leave the enclosure at home, and game on what the device included which should be good enough for emulation or any indie titles on the go. When you get home plug it up to you're 4070 super or whatever.

You’re one of the most honest KZreadrs ever. You tell it like it is, and that’s why I’ll always support you. Keep up the phenomenal work!

The small portable size is nice, but for most people's use case, they are most likely going to set this up and home and leave it. A better solution I feel, is an eGPU enclosure capable of handling desktop GPUs. They cost between $150-400, and many come with a power supply and are able to output power to charge the device docked to it. You do need to provide your own GPU, but models that stomp all over the laptop GPUs you typically see in these ready to go products, can be had for $300-400. Meaning for the same price or less of one of these laptop grade eGPUs, you can get a full power desktop GPU setup to dock your handheld. But if limited by the connection speed, if you will be using USB 4, you can get a lower power GPU that is on par or a little better than the laptop class GPU, but at a lower price point. $250 is the average price for an RX 7600 for example. Meaning around $500 total for a eGPU dock setup.

This is very true! I think spending only 200 more to get an exclosure this portable for trips or lan parties (I still do lan parties) isn’t too bad, and I like the nvme slot so I can put the harder to run games on that since I’d probably only play them when docked anyway which saves me from having to plug in an external hard drive as well. Not saying this is amazing for the money but for its convenience (for my use at least) doesn’t sound too bad. :)

Yeah, if the portability is what you are after, I fully understand the appeal.

That charger alone is almost $200 if you get it separately. That is, if you can even find one. With the M.2 slot, this is actually one of the better valued eGPUs you can buy. That said, if you want performance or value, then it's better to buy a desktop card and a GPU adapter. But it won't be as clean and elegent a setup as this.

I almost purchased this, but the 7600M XT isn't a particularly powerful one. I ended up building an oculink egpu with a used desktop 6900XT for $500, and hooked that up to my 4K TV. Worked like a charm.

Thanks Russ for a very informative video.

Loved this, need more of these type of videos. I have been telling my friends that the desktop PC form factor has not inovated in so long that I got bored of it, and I do love the Gaming tablet form factor and the handheld gaming pc as well and I see a lot of potential being able to go mobile when I want and lower graphics, but when im at my desk I can boot the graphics with an EGPU and with the G1 and the onexfly egpu form factor, it a good way to expand what the hand held can do and you dont really need to upgrade as frequently tbh, it can go a long way, specially if game developers start optmizing their games on PC since the reality the PC has always been using raw power to render beautiful games instead of really optimizing the games for the hardware … but I digress

Kinda impressive that it's worked so fine with all those handhelds! Even with the Mini PC!

This device would definitely be beneficial for my scenario. Where the eGPU would be the dock do the desktop setup with the second video cable wired living room tv with the screen set to mirror. I have a desktop, console pc and a steam deck but to combine all 3 into 1 would be a management blessing and no longer manually syncing save files.

Although I really enjoy this hybrid technology in itself, I think it's a shame that it is so expensive that it doesn't make much sense in most scenarios... Looking at how well cloud saves work, and how these handhelds function as "companion devices". I would much rather put all of that money into used PC , or mini-itx build, where I could easily upgrade the GPU.... The 6650XT is currently 229$. For a device like this to truly make sense it should cost no more than 349-399$.

You make a good point, eGPU is creating a vacant middle where there isn't one, because you can stream to your handhelds easily using the GPU in a desktop. The added cost of a gpu enclosure, or one of these all-in-one solutions, could go toward building an entire PC that you can sit at when you aren't going mobile (representing ~$500 delta for components, accounting for eGPU upcharge). And then you can easily take that same graphics power to the sofa whenever you want, untethered. The customer for this is someone who uses a handheld as their main desktop, or wants a 'luggable' option without also investing in a laptop. There are probably a few folks like that, and I expect the market size to be limited to that pool.

i got the Onexgpu for like 540€, just slightly used. Best docking station so far

Dude imma have to go back and watch your Legion Go vid that thing is cool. Also where you using the right controller as a mouse? Thats very cool.

This is the first time I've heard of oculink. Guess I've been living under a rock.

External GPUs are cool, but I don't think they make sense for me to get them yet. Maybe in a few years this may be something I'm into. So some things I would like to see to make it very worth it. - much lower price - much more power efficiency - maybe a future usb 5 standards (I assume such a future standard would have faster data transfer) - Future cheap handhelds offering full USB4 or higher that run Batocera (imagine in the future if you could get a cheap, pocketable handheld that can play most of your retro games, but then you can set it up and dock it to play all of your retro games and you can use it as a backup game console, at least for the retro consoles) - A future iteration of Steamdeck or other linux console with at least USB 4 (or maybe at least USB 5) that feel like a decent gaming PC when plugged in (considering the cost of a handheld and eGPU may exceed a gaming PC, unless we see budget eGPUs) - Bonus: If we can see software and firmware improvements that could allow games to take advantage of internal and external GPUs at the same time (allowing a smaller eGPU to be more impactful while maintaining its cost effectiveness and energy savinges), then that would be some real nice icing on the cake if it is possible and if it happens But other than the bonus, I think we may see a lot of what I mentioned in a few years

I got a Laptop *last year* with a 4070M for $1150. It was also a TUF. They're about the best bang for the buck configs out there. I think it's more fair to compare an eGPU to just GPUs though. $700 is a lot for a 7600M.

Z1 extreme on the legion go doesnt play nice with epgu from amd it seems.

It is a simple matter to add a powered USB 3.x hub to any of the Type-A or Type-C ports to expand your connectivity options.

I'm a console player, but I have been looking into a handheld gaming PC that could double as a gaming PC for a TV. I am intrigued by the external GPUs, but the price point is preventing me from jumping into the PC gaming ecosystem. Thanks for this video, it has given me more to think about.

I bought one of these with the same Minisforum Mini PC showed on this video to replace my desktop PC I bought new in 2017.

I was able to get Droix to replicate this issue. If you plug Oculink in and leave the host off, does the unit continue to draw power without activating the fan? If so, this creates a potential heating issue as the temperature climbs with no control. The test is simple, plug in oculink to a host who is off and come back in 5 to 10 minutes. Im told GPD unit does not have this behavior. This flaw means you have to remember to unplug it when using oculink.

Is there a way to get the Oculink performance with the Legion go? I was thinking about getting one of those, but that bandwidth limitation is a deal breaker for me :/

Can you use this with a steamdeck?

Just to be clearer. You're basically get PCIe speeds either way on USB-4 or OCculink. It's just that USB-4 is only giving you about 4-lanes of PCIe 3.0: 32 Gbps, while OCculink is giving you about 4-lanes of PCIe 4.0: 64 Gbps? Hopefully USB 4.0 v2 with 80-120Gbps comes out soon, as that will be way more common than OCculink ever will be,

I mean, it’s a video made by Russ so I watched it. I recognize I am not in the target market. Question though - is the idea here that the eGPU’s is almost like a Switch dock, but with a much better GPU inside than the Switch? I guess I don’t understand the form factor, that’s all. Given this doesn’t hold the device like a Switch dock, I’d think if it was mounted to a TV/monitor, all that needs to happen is I plug in one cable and can go play. I can’t imagine someone is toting this around. I did get a USB-C dock with some specific ports that could be used with both my work laptop as well as to play my Odin 2 on a TV. Have not tried it yet with the Odin, but again, not exactly buying an Odin to use it plugged into a TV.

a mini PC called geekom apro8 max also has the same GPU, but geekom didn't release it yet.

Maybe you know, I don't know it's true or not - I heard that some USB4 cables can deliver different bandwidth. Like 32 instead of full 40. Your ONEXGPU cable does full 40 Gbps?

I have the GPD G1 and have yet to use it, one thing I DO NOT LIKE about it, is io positioning and their odd logic of putting the power in, on the front with the power button. This has better layout but also, the built in storage means, yeah you can use that and sacrifice some PCI lanes to storage.

This looks cool, but I kind of wish that these handheld PCs would design their eGPU dock in a way where you can set your handheld system in it rather than having it dangling somewhere. Also, there being two different USB 4 standards (the 40GB/s, and 80GB/s) totally isn't going to result in confusion. Bought an Alienware gaming laptop and while it supports USB 4 and eGPUs, the bandwidth is so bad where you may as well just run on the dedicated GPU it comes with.

I think for an eGPU to make sense for any sort of handheld PC or gaming device, it needs to add appreciably more power(I'd say at least 2) than the build in GPU/APU at around a $300-400 price point. Otherwise it would just make sense to have another full device in a laptop when you want more graphical power, plus an additional form factor for other things when you can sit down at a desk/table. Plus I think any sort of eGPU solutions, people would prefer to have something that upgradable with desktop GPUs than one with a mobile GPU that will be obsolete in 2-3 years.

@@draco2xx Can't think of who this "caters" to besides people that want to throw their money away on something they can't upgrade in the future as opposed to having more versatile and future proof options. This will be outdated in 2 years. It just doesn't make sense especially at that price. Even if it were a hell of a lot cheaper, a full desktop eGPU solution offers a lot more.

will this work on steam deck oled?

wow this is so cool bud. I just upgraded my 1TB SSD on my Steam Deck.

Can you use the Egpu just back to the handheld itself instead of a external monitor? I would love to boost the performance but needing an external monitor is a deal breaker. absolutely no point to it if you need an external monitor because that makes it absolutely not portable, and at that point you're just better off with an actual laptop or desktop if it's just for 1 place gaming. I would be ok taking the egpu if could boost the handheld itself.
