What is the bottleneck of these things vs using a gfx card internally? How well would it work to hook this up to a business laptop that has a good processor and a decent amount of RAM? Would there be any stuttering when playing games?
I have a NUC11 w/ an i5-1135G7 and 16GB Ram. I get these benchmarks with an external 3060 Ti.

Timespy 8632 (GPU 9755) (CPU 5225)

Firestrike 16037 (Phys 13231, Combined 7719)

There's no stuttering or abnormal behavior, it behaves like a desktop, except that sometimes Windows doesn't automatically use the eGPU and uses the onboard graphics, and it's not clear why. Sometimes have to just restart the game, sometimes have to reboot the PC or power cycle the eGPU. But most of the time it works fine.

Some reviews say you have to connect the monitor directly to the eGPU - mine is connected through the NUC, which is better cause you can leave the eGPU off when not gaming. But it might depend on the laptop.

As long as you're driving an external monitor from the eGPU it's fine.
Mine is connected to a NUC which is connected to an external monitor. Works fine but I will try directly connecting to the eGPU to see if it's any better.

Quote from inspyral :
I got one of these a while back to try out with my ~3y/o laptop that only has 2 lane Thunderbolt for a potential travel gaming setup. While it did provide a decent performance bump over the laptop GPU, it wasn't enough to justify trying to travel with a rather bulky enclosure that's about the same size as my SFF desktop PC, especially since I would still need to bring an external monitor.
Yeah this is 14 lbs plus the card. Definitely for home use only!

The same item on Ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/393642398508
also still available in aluminum

I bought once and returned because it's terribly heavy & large, solid build quality & design though. Well at this price I'll bite again, especially the aluminum version.

You're probably going to run into an issue trying to use a 3090 with this, unless it happens to be the EVGA XC3 3090.

The PSU included with this eGPU only provides two 8-pin PCIe cables. Most of the 3090's require three 8-pin PCIe cables for power. The EVGA XC3 is the only one that I'm aware of that only requires two 8-pin PCIe cables for power.

It will fit physically, but most 3090s are incompatible with the PSU, requiring three 8-pin power cables whereas this only provides two.
