External GPU enclosures have been around for a few years now, most of them using Thunderbolt 3 which provides four PCIe 3.0 lanes. We’ve tested a few solutions over the years, including Razer’s Core X and the Sapphire GearBox, but today we’re taking a closer look at just how well an eGPU can perform. To do so, we test Nvidia’s RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3070, RTX 3080 and even the RTX 3090, across 1080p, 1440p and 4K resolutions. Is there any benefit to using a faster GPU over Thunderbolt 3?

NVIDIA may be gearing to release another Ampere-based graphics card this month, but a new report claims that the RTX 30 series availability will worsen between now and the end of March. The RTX 30 series stock levels have been poor since the launch of the first desktop cards, so it is difficult to imagine how they could get much worse.
