The Aorus Gaming Box GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Turned Our Tiny Intel NUC into a 4K Powerhouse

An eGPU is one of the best (and most expensive) ways you can upgrade your laptop or mini PC. The performance gains are significant and much closer to a desktop than what most users might assume.

I've been using an LG Gram 17 + eGPU (Sonnet Breakaway Box 550 + Asus Strix 2070 OC) for about 2 years now. Love it.

Looking forward to hopefully upgrading to a 3080 and a new 11th Gen H series laptop that will have TB embedded in the CPU. This is the best scenario.

Buy a 2080Ti to get 2080 Super performance!
Strap a honking-great box to your mini-PC!

This might have been a better sell attached to a laptop... 😬

Hardly relevant. You own a NUC and you need to add a powerful GPU - you can do it. It's all that matters. It may be 10% slower compared to normal desktops (even less outside of gaming), but it's the fastest you can get. It's still way cheaper than buying a whole desktop for that GPU.

You can use your eGPU with multiple PCs. You can sell it if you don't need it anymore - at which point you're left with a mini PC, not a huge desktop case full of air.

Yes, it may look a bit weird. But so did HiFi systems few decades ago and we got used to them.

Waiting for Tiger Lake 45W laptop (Dell XPS 15 ?) and an RTX 3080 / eGPU enclosure. If it's within ~10% of Dekstop 3080 performance at 4K, that'll be amazing for gaming at home on my big OLED TV
