I’ve compared the XG Mobile with RTX 3080 Laptop GPU with a desktop RTX 3080 graphics card in a Thunderbolt enclosure to see the differences in games & apps! The desktop card has higher specs, but XG Mobile has more bandwidth, so which eGPU is best? Prices 👇

That's actually very true, with a newer Thunderbolt model it wouldn't look like it was being beaten with this set up. XG Mobile had 63Gbps, while the Thunderbolt had a hard limit under that and this reduced the output in performance.

@lukrative I truly believe that you are right. once I saw the mother ship laptop, I immediately wanted a smaller, portable version of it. Ventilation is at an ingenious location, the portability is great, and its form factor is impressive. I believe that ASUS is limiting themselves with placing a 3050ti in it, because if they built a 3070 in this, I want to believe that it would make Microsoft buckle and have to increase the capability of their surface pro series, and additionally use the current price for the Z13? It could be a game changer.

Good work as always! Jarod, I think you should also test last gen gaming laptops with Thunderbolt 3 using eGPU. People who bought last gen laptops (Intel 10th-9th-8th gen CPU) with TB3 certainly consider the eGPU for future proofing an important factor. Also, I think people who already owned laptops with TB3 (like the i7 9750H, i7 8750H) will be more likely willing to consider an eGPU to upgrade since they only have to pay the eGPU cost instead of a full new laptop + eGPU (if the performance gain is satisfactory).

If you end up doing an updated version of this test I'd love to see the setup compared to a gaming laptop with the same mobile GPU including price. It really seems like it'd be way cheaper to just buy a laptop with the GPU built in. When I bought my Zephyrus it was only $1400 for the whole laptop including an RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 was only the newest you could get at the time.

I am very surprised the external gpu won some of the benchmarks. I figured with the bottle neck of the thunderbolt 3 port it was going to be slow across the board even with the more powerful gpu. Still the Flow is compelling if you don’t have an egpu already and need a new laptop also.

16:22 - That’s what she said, haha Very interesting results and makes sense. The additional bandwidth allows for the CPU pull ahead at lower resolutions. Perhaps it would have been a more fair test with a 8 core Intel, gotta give Intel a crutch to keep up lol! That way we would know if the CPU bound game performance was due to less powerful CPU or less overall CPU bandwidth because of Thunderbolt 40 gbps vs 63 gbps of the XG Mobile. Thanks for all the tests! Epic results and helpful

I think a 10th gen 8 core laptop would perform worse than what I've shown here, at least not until 11th gen Tiger Lake H series is available. I've shown in this video that 4 core Ice Lake can beat 6 core 10750H with higher power limit in an eGPU setup ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kmGpp4WRjneQqn0.html it's because the thunderbolt controller is integrated into the processor which greatly boosts performance.

Honestly feel like the cpu difference is affecting the results a lot but great video Jarrod. But do invest in some audio dampening for your shooting space the audio quality will go up immensely imo Edit: you can get laptops with the 1165G7 with tb3 for cheaper than the NUC you used while delivering the same CPU perf. so the egpu setup will be a bit cheaper even taking into consideration 3080 prices. Although with the 1165G7 the 3070 would be a better pairing esp at 1440p

Jarod, LTT didn't confirm/deny this, but did state that despite using an OcuLink connector, that Asus is using a non-standard pinout. VideoCardz posted a PCB shot of the XG Mobile and stated that the link speed is x8 as you're done here. However, there are peripherals on this external GPU down and the data connection is split into 2 x4 cables internally on the PCB. Can you confirm with GPU-z or others that the GPU is in fact running on a x8 bus and not a x4 bus?

Now I love the direction this is headed in. If only a standardized PCIE connector comes into existence then more laptops will become fun. AMD you can do it, Come on.

The XG Mobile port on the Asus's look like the Oculink-2 port on the GPD WinMax 2. Oculink-2 PCIe docks are really cheap apparently, so can they work with XG Mobile port for desktop class eGPU?

Are you allowed to open up the XG Mobile? Can't seem to find any online.

You know what would be real cool? If the modding community can somehow take advantage of the XG mobile GPU's connector and somehow make a PCIE box, like the thunderbolt eGPU box but it connects through the XG Mobile interface.

Going into the video I didn't expect this. Im currently using the XG Mobile 3080 with my ROG Ally. It works great, running starfield at 55 FPS on medium settings.

@@sammorris1548 1080p. I know it’s weird, I know for sure I got it setup right because RDR2 runs great on ultra settings (way higher fps). But I RMA’d my Ally yesterday because the cpu fans sounded like a coffee machine. No joke. It was like a mini helicopter taking off. Not a healthy sound.

Interesting - very clear explanation. My only question is, i jz cannot find any logic behind on why 1080p resolution using external screen perform much2 better than the laptop screen. Intriguing.

The new Z13 means you can do this test with the only variable being the eGPU. Could be interesting, but maybe it's not worth it to make a new video on it.

My biggest issue with the X13 is the egpu isn't upgradable. So say Lovelace or RDNA 3 comes out, with the Egpu you can just drop in a new card, you don't need a new enclosure. I do think better CPU and a connection with better throughput is necessary to really use this. I can't wait for a laptop that can game at 1080p with an igpu then connect to something like this at home.

I think it would be a good idea for ROG too over a trade in option for the next versions. Like companies like Samsung do for their phones.
