#eGPU #OcuLink #Thunderbolt - Hry
Occulink changes the game. I have a feeling we're gonna see a surge of eGPUs getting popular, especially since portable pc are becoming more and more relevant
Is the Oculink connection in this video PCIe 4.0 x 4? So it's double the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3/4?
I wish more devices would use the oculink port, the gpd products break often and are not reliable so yeah.
Nice to see some minimalist egpu solutions! Much better than chunky boxes.
That’s cos they come with a separate powerbrick that’s both huge and underpowered
@Bingbong Recto yeah to be totally usable for me I'd need to use a separate power supply for the GPU
@@BingbongRecto much easier to pack a One Dock + powerbrick + laptop than a whole eGPU enclosure + laptop. My plan is tp have an RTX 3080 with the huge 450W power brick for my One Dock desktop setup with my 32" 1440p monitor and a smaller more compact RTX A2000 with a smaller 180W power brick for a smaller mobile workstation One Dock setup I can travel with or use by my bedside when I'm using the internal display on my Win Max 2.
Would love to see a video like this with the new 7840u version!
Much better solution than the XG Mobile. Hopefully the gpd handhelds with oculink come sooner
I would be really curious to see 1440p! Fantastic as always!
Wow, thank you very much for the data bro. You are amazing
FINALLY a small eGPU dock! How did it take this long!?
ADT-Link Has been around for a minute
For future videos, maybe there is a way to include average CPU and GPU loads onto the charts?
Could help explaining fps differences.
Geat to see this review :)
I was running a 3090 in my Core X Chroma for a while, but in the last month it stopped working and I thought the GPU had died. You mentioned power surges and that's exactly what I experienced - the eGPU disconnects every peripheral and the GPU, the 3090's fans spin up at max speed and then the peripherals reconnect, but the GPU is unusable until a restart.
This gives me hope for my 3090 and will attempt with my 850W PSU soon to check if that was the issue.
Which interface have you used on the desktop machine? what app did you use to prevent any power consumption in the 6800U iGPU routing all watts into the CPU itself?
Thanks a lot; great video!
Nice video. Does it help for video editing or just for gaming?
Nice, will definitely have to look into this. Side note, will you be doing a video for the Win4 screen fixes?
By far, the best Oculink review I've found.
Love this with an external water cooler, for looks, but also to cut down on noise
I would love to have this power but I unfortunately bought the steam deck. I will take a look at this when it's time to update because it's freaking awesome. Had some experience with eGPU adapters for older laptops (not fun). This seems to make a lot of sense to me.
I wonder how the performance would fare (including with ReBAR) with a full x8 link on OCuLink. The Framework 16's rear module has a PCIe 4.0x8 connection, so someone (maybe even Framework) could theoretically make an OCuLink x8 module for that laptop.
I am really interested in this product for in the context of putting into a camper van that can off-grid with solar power. Power draw is a concern for me and I had mostly written off the idea of using an eGPU, but now I'm curious. My current rig is a GPD Win Max 2 6800U using USB-C dock to drive two monitors - a 19" 5:4 and a 22" 16:10. With the laptop's display acting as a 3rd screen this all draws ~65 watts when gaming and ~30w idle. This eGPU enclosure that sits beneath the GPU has its own fans which implies it also gets hot? Every watt counts. Are you able to tell me what the enclosure itself costs in terms of wattage that I should consider in addition to the GPU? (which I'd be looking at undervolt/underclock 3050 or similar of course, I know this already).
Amazing 🤟🏼
5:41 how were you able to zero out the iGPU? I have a labtop with both an iGPU and dGPU. When in gaming I noticed that my iGPU is still running for some reason and taking up watts according to Afterburner. I'm currently having my labtop in a switch over mode but I believe that it's still running even when I'm in the dedicated mode. I don't want to disable my iGPU as I heard that could lead to other issues as well. I believe maybe the iGPU is still running to supply VRR maybe? I got an AMD running Nvidia for reference.
Great video. On the fence between a Asus Ally w/oculink or Aokzoe A1Pro with usb4/thunderbolt 3.
Hey man thanks for the review, how's it still holding up? I've got a spare GPU lying around and it'd be sweet to give extra life to a laptop
How do you buy this? I went to the main website but when i click on "way to buy" it just shows an oculink kit for the Win max 2, Not the OneDock. :(
Where can we get this? The official website doesn't work to order. I have been dreaming of something like this for ages.
To be clear, could you use your Desktop+Oculink to see the comparison between normal PCIE and OCulink?
How the heck do you buy the one dock? This should be huge. Looks amazing.
Is it still possible to buy one of these in the US? The purchase link in the website linked above doesn't seem to link to anything usable any more.
Awesome video! i have an Alienware Amplifier egpu and love it compared to my thunderbolt 3 solution since its a direct connection and doesn't share bandwidth. wonder how this amplifier would compare to oculink! i can also ship it out to you if you'd like!
Bit of a random use case, but can you run multiple GPU's via Thunderbolt docks if bandwidth isn't an issue? Planning out a folding setup, and this seems like a perfect solution.
I would love to see some some more common laptop using oculink through the m2/n.vme adapter, and how this process is done, and how it ooks like in the end.
Cool video as always.
Suggestion: can you make the chats more readable for phones? On my phone I cannot read the charts.
Agreed, and I’m watching on a 12” tablet. I can see relatively what the results want to suggest, but would love to more clearly ascertain the details. But also agree that the video is great, altering the charts for maximum legibility is just a suggestion for making it even better.
I had the same issue and told CZcams to play in highest quality (was at 1440p x 60 before I set it to high quality) and it cleared everything right up. I suspect that all the black space convinced CZcams to be extra aggressive with the already aggressive compression
Hi! I can't find how to buy it. The link you put is for another product.
This video convinced me to drop my AOKZOE A1Pro preorder and wait for GPD WIN Max 2 instead.
Thanks for your video. Just wondering that what is the bandwidth of the OCULink? Can it achieve PCIE 3.0 8X speed? Thanks!!
Hey Phawx, would love your thoughts on Oculink and Nvidia cards on GPD Win Mini. I just ordered one. My current desktop has a 3060ti. I’ve also seen people using these inexpensive Oculink adapters on Amazon designed for Win Max 2. I assume that should also work with Win Mini and if so with Nvidia? I appreciate your time. Thanks.
I need this! Where to buy? The link only shows something weird lol
That way i can power up my laptop with my 2080 :D
So if I’m understanding correctly, there are only power issues when charging an external device on Thunderbolt? Or just like a higher watt PSU solve the issue. Looking to pair this with a 4090.
It seems to me that as we head to 4K, the gap between Occulink and Thunderbolt is less as compared to lower resolution like 1080p, right? So if my plan is to use USB 4 (ideally even the ADT-UT3G which is better than TB3) for 4K gaming mainly, it's okay to use Thunderbolt but not Occulink?
Hey, I'm interested in getting it but curious, Could it power a RX6400 using only the thunderbolt. So only one thunderbolt connects to the laptop and the dock for both power and display. That way a heavy power supply brick isn't necessary to be plugged in. Please let me know.
ONe important thing to note is i had oculink on my dell 5521 with 2 m.2 slot. so when comparing to my aorus thunderbolt egpu when on ultra setting ocu link was better on 8-11 fps. However....careful when you disconnect any power or when your moving accidently taking a cord or shutting off oculink before laptop can crash and may damage your system ..... my memory was bricked so had to do clean install of windows to fix the situation.
Where can I purchase the one dock? The link in the description only takes me to the oculink adapter.
.
This is the best eGPU oculink kit or a best kit is available? Thanks
Hi Phawx, any link where you got the power adapter and how many watts that has?
Would like to know the same too. Would there be a 500W or even higher options so we wont run into power surge issue?
If I plug my machine via OCuLink to One Dock with whatever gpu, can I get any boost by connecting the gpu to one external monitor? Like, host -- OC -- eGPU -- HDMI -- Monitor
I have the WIN GOD WIN 4 hooked to a Razer Core X with an RTX 3070. I'm worried when you said it didn't worked with your Razer Core... maybe you're refer to the base model? not the 'X' newer variant?
This sounds crazy, but where i can buy it? i can't find a link wtf
it's difficult to find information about the actual transfer speeds these docks are capable of. while they do come with a pcie x16 slot, it seems some of them are only using a x4 interface.
what happened when you powered the GPD Win Max 2 via its other USB-C and didnt have to undervolt it?
Both my neo2 and win4 work great with a non chroma razer core x.. so its either the card, drivers or just you..
hello, I would like to know if buying an eGPU is worth it if my laptop does not have Thunderbolt, but there is an adapter from HDMI 2.0 to Thunderbolt
I would like to connect my elgato 4k pro internal capture card to my laptop, what do you recommend to do that?
Wow this could be my only saviour. The rtx2060 died in my Lenovo legion y540 so I was thinking to replace it with an oculink egpu. Do you think it can work out?
Careful with the very small benchmark snippets, can't really read that with my phone
Between a GPD Win 4, or Aya Neo2s which one is the btter device and why?
What is oculink? Is that something different than thunderbolt?
GPD Win Max 2/Win Mini + One Dock >>> ROG Ally + ROG XG Mobile
Yeah, I'm sad the rog ally will have a closed protocol for pci-e over cable solutions. Would've been nice to just be able to pop your existing gpu in a third party dock and connect them up via either thunderbolt/usb4/oculink
@@broklond yea, unless someone manages to create an adapter, proprietary always sucks
Yep, but i prefer the Win 4, because PSP design
Is there anyway I can do this to an ITX PC instead of a laptop? An ITX pc + EGPU combo where I could take my ITX anywhere but when I am at home I could game without problems
People are saying Oculink today has better performance than what TB5 will have when it launch. Does it worth getting a new laptop with 2 M.2 ports and using one for Oculink? The new Lenovo laptop that will have a Oculink port is said that will be a proprietary port. Should we wait for TB5 and PCIe 5?
Where can I buy it?
Is the OcuLink Connection running at PCIe 4.0 x4 or PCIe 3.0 x4 like Thunderbolt? You never specificy in the video which is weird because i would think it is important info
How does it fare with a RTX 4080? Or are there other oculink docks nowadays?
can you do tests with vulkan games like yuzu emulation or doom eternal? my vulkan fps is abysmal on tb4 mode...I can't test yet with oculink sadly.
using rtx 3080 desktop gpu
It could really benefit of integrating PSU like HDPlex 250W or 500W version.
Awesome content. With Asus XG Mobile 4090 (laptop) coming in at $3K, this with desktop 4090 will still cost a lot less than Asus method. Hopefully GPD will make a Win 5 with extra panel accessible 2230 slot and 7840U. (They can cut the 2280 to two 2230 or something.) Cuz Win Max 2 is kinda heavy.
I thought the xg mobile 4090 was 2k? But regardless would be similar in price, and you can swap out the card later which makes it so much more flexible
@@zergslayer69 2.7 k
Please up your font sizes on your graphs because it's barely readable on a 14" 1080p laptop screen. I can't imagine how it might look on a phone screen :D
Can you use on gpd win max 2 7840u with oculink with parallel usb type c for rtx 4090
Really wish this had a boxed version we could use to safely transport the GPU.
Would this work with the connector on the ROG Ally? I know it uses some form of occulink, but with a different pin-out. Is there some convertor? I am asking because the XG Mobile is way too overpriced.
No, it's my sole reason for avoiding the ally
would a weaker gpu limit the difference between desktop and oculink? Im talking rtx 3070 instead of the 3090.
How is the latency of Oculink compared to TB?
This woukd be rewlly interesting to use with my 3080 and if i got the aokzoe a1 pro
May I know where can purchase this onedock adapter?
Speaking of undervolting, has anyone found a way to do any undervolting on the 6800U in the Win Max 2 or the Win4? Trying to save a little bit of power draw and get a bit more performance per watt while playing some older games.
AATU claims to support the 6800U. Haven't tried it yet.
@@GSBarlev I didn't think that AATU even supported undervolting at all. I thought it just allowed you to adjust the Power Limits/TDP of a given APU. Which we can already do on the fly with either GPD Motion Asistant or with AutoTDP.
SuperBuy website is confusing. You gotta buy the item then you gotta buy the shipping? All in google translate?
Have they considered a dual OcuLink solution? There's a PCI-E Bifurcation/PCI-E mining focused developer named C_Payne who used to do x8/x8, x8/x8/x4 and so on PCI-E 3.0 Riser cards that connected to riser ribbon cables, but his latest hardware uses Dual Oculink for full PCI-E 4.0 x16 or x8/x8 + more instead and it's a much more stable affair. Really happy with my setup, runs a 4070 Ti and 4 port usbc expansion card like a champ in my Salvo Studios s402 ITX case.
Its also technically possible to use oculink cables as there are sff-8611 8i.
Hmm seems like my comment gets deleted upon mentioning some site name. Anyway. OSMETA has a solution that uses 2 slimsas (sff-8654) cabling and connecters to expose all x16 pcie lanes. They also have an addin pcie card that works with pcie 4.0. You could search GK01ATX.
Where can we buy this please?
Zen3 desktop CPU has 100% more L3 cache than Zen3 APUs like the 5700G, 6800U, and 5800u
I can't find a 450w+ DC charger for this thing. Anyone knows where do we find them online?
Handheld and mini pc occulink with egpu is the future, and its coming soon. Big companies will have to address it and there will be a much larger market for this very soon.
Wait is this OCulink 2 which is PCIE4? TB3 is PCIE3 x4 lanes 40gbps and OCulink 1 is PCIE3 x4 lanes 32gbps.
Looks like oculink plugs into the nvme port so I'm very confused. How are you using it on Ayaneo 2??
For the Aya Neo he's using Thunderbolt/USB 4
it's dual interface...you can use either thunderbolt or oculink
Nice video but please put your graphs full screen and much bigger text (like all tech channels), couldn't read the text even on a 24" monitor
Is it compatible with a msi gf 65? I5 10200h 64gb ram ddr4 3200mhz?
can anyone explain how onedock will work with rog flow laptops?since the thunderbolt 4 solution just bottlenecks the RTX gpu and decreases the performance so much
I can’t find one dock anywhere just a website with no way of buying it.
What power supply are you using ??
This thing seems to be vaporware. Nowhere to buy and very few videos of people actually using it
Nah it’s hella real their in production of the V2 right now, drops at the end of this month.
if you are power limiting the Egpu, you should of set the same power limit in the desktop using afterburner so it would be more comparable..
Why did you take down the thunderbolt? If you're gonna show the difference its a little hard to when you actually take away one of the samples.
how much and where to buy?
Is there any way to get past 250w limit? would a 4070 or 4070 ti have issues with that oculink limit? 4090 would probably be too much.
4070 is like 200 watts, so you should be good there.
Hi there! Is oculink compatible with steam deck?
Does this come with the power supply?
I followed the link and tried to buy it takes you to a webpage but then when you click on the link on where to buy you, gotta set up some membership on some marketplace thing no real pricing no real list might as well just ignore this product
What chart solution is this?? 😮
Why the two thunderbolt ports? I didn’t understand that use case for the egpu.
Daisy chaining, plugging a usb network adapter or maybe an ssd into it
@@megajatt123 What happens when you plug in an SSD/storage? Your PC can really recognize it plus the GPU through one thunderbolt connection?
@@Fldllse yeah,but the issue if that if u use a tb3 SSD/storage,tb3 bandwidth,which is already limited to 22gbps, gets shared.,it would be best if u use a connection that doesn't use pcie lanes to communicate.
@@megajatt123 thanks for the explanation. I have a dock for my handheld for that so this won't be an issue for me. I just ordered this eGPU dock btw
Can we use PC PSU for that dock?
Test the dasichaining please ?
What is the price?
how do I buy it from Germany?
