Only worth with if you use a Asus handheld....

Ich bin zufrieden! Ich habe die eGPU an mein Asus Rog Ally angeschlossen und es funktioniert soweit ganz gut. Die Verbindung über den 2 x PCIe 3.0 x8 Anschluss hat auch einen ordentlichen Datendurchsatz, im Gegensatz zu einfachen TB4 Verbindungen. Über die Leistungseinstellungen im "Armoury Crate" lässt sich auch alle super einfach einstellen. Das einzige, was etwas stört, sind die lauten Lüfter, wenn die Grafikkarte auf maximale Leistung eingestellt ist. Und die fummelige Aktivierung unter Linux. Unter Windows gibt es keine Probleme.

4k resolution on 4k TV, no problem. I had doubts. But I had a leap of faith, the best.

I know nothing about the flow products that use this as well, but its so much fun on the rog ally. The perfect handheld hybrid pc now. Comes equipped with raw power. Most external gpu only take advantage of about 70% of the gpu but with asus you get about 90% with little to no bottleneck. So easy to set up, make sure the ally is up to date then plug the xg up and you have an update that will make you restart and away you go. Anything of this nature is no expensive so you are not saving much money depending on your needs. Becuase to take full advantage you will need a monitor or tv that takes advantage of all that power. The gpu can get load but it stays relatively cool. It's alot cooler than my asus zephyrus g14 ryzen 9 3060 I will tell you that. The Cord is short and you have to bend it a little, I set the gpu up a little higher so I don't have to bend it at the connector end of either poi t of the cable to pro long it. The cable is thick so I trust it. Gives me just enough ports to plug everything in as I like wires and prefer to have as little lag as possible. With the current discount it's so worth it. No longer in production so if you had it on your mind I say do it but I'm an enabler 😁. The stand on the gpu is surprisingly sturdy and can hold up with all my cable tugging on it every way. Still playing with it but first couple hrs of gaming are amazing.

Picked it up for my ROG Ally Z1 Extreme since I've been using it docked as a PC I could take with me. These are hard to find in general so when there was a 4000 series I had to get it. Have only had it for a couple weeks but my thoughts are below. Installation is relatively simple you just need to ensure the connection is SNUG and locks into place. Initial setup the unit would not power on and the RGB fan light didn't illuminate so I was afraid of a bricked unit. But the good old unplug and replug fixed that issue. I do wish the cable to dock your device was a bit longer. Once the device was powered and connected you have to click the XG Mobile icon in the system tray. What's annoying is that the icon FREQUENTLY dissappears. Literally as I am writing this review the icon is missing. Not a problem if you keep your device docked but since I have an ROG Ally, the expectation that I would frequently take the device with me on the go is there. I have not encountered any other issues with the device apart from those mentioned in this review. The fan ramps up when gaming but it is not as loud as I was expecting it to be. The sound level is noticable in a quiet environment but not a problem if you play audio through speakers or use headphones. Haven't tried super intense games but it works very well for what I want to play. Overall if the process of connecting and disconnecting the XG mobile and the cable were a little longer this would be a 5 star review.

While this thing is a beast frame wise, after about 6 months of owning it the release pins fail and the slightest touch and all your usbs and ethernet will disconnect, then i gotta jiggle it around and pray everything reconnects
