Perhaps. I need to check size. It would match my Blade
3090 FE is 12.3", this thing says it does up to 12.99". Can't really speak to AIB partner cards, we don't have much info on those right now.
Gonna be expensive. You could just leave it in the box and use the $300+ towards your new PC?
The 2.5/3 slot thing is kind of an issue.
Good point - it says it supports 3-slot cards but it looks like it only has room for 2 brackets.
Interesting. So how about the 3080?
Cost isn't an issue. Notice the 3090?
Convenience is the name of the game.
If you’ve never tried to shoehorn a giant gpu into an enclosure before I can see how you’d think it was convenient, but in some of those things the tolerances are so tight I’ve been worried about damaging the card before.
at any rate, I definitely wouldn’t buy anything unless you are certain it will fit. Also if cost isn’t an issue, what’s the holdup with buying the rest of your pc now?
I think im going the same route. I bought an akito node for a 3080. we will see
edit: alxlwson I have the same laptop except 144hz in mecury white. Im afraid the thunderbolt is going to choke out the 3080 hard. but we will see!
No one is discussing the performance hit using a gpu like that in a egpu enclosure. Why would you put that much power into something you cant fully utilize it with?
I gave up on EGPU and will be building an ITX box. The performance loss is significant, especially using the laptop's LCD. That said if the cost is no objection, might as well try it and see. Sometimes you just have to try it to find out if it makes sense.
If cost is not an issue why not just build your system now with a nice x570 board with a 3600 or 3700 and sell and upgrade to zen 3 when it comes out? You'll likely lose less than $100 if you go this route (3600 for $170 now and sell for $100 when zen 3 comes out)
