exklim Presents Their eX Core Portable eGPU That Turns Any Computer Into a Gaming Rig
exklim today introduced the eX Core , the world's first, portable eGPU that turbocharges your computer, turning any laptop or desktop into a powerful gaming rig. eX Core sets out to provide gamers, Bitcoin miners, students and on-the-go professionals with a lightweight, high-performance solution to run any application, at any time. The eX Core is now live on Kickstarter.
As games and applications are becoming graphically demanding, central processing units (CPUs) are being rendered useless. While CPUs may be fast enough to run a game, the graphics power is limited. The eX Core solves this problem by opening up the door for any computer to have the same high-end graphics or design capabilities as even the most advanced computers - at a fraction of the cost. It leverages NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1050 Factory OC at 1680 MHz and high bandwidth GDDR5 vRam to run the most graphically demanding PC games and video applications on the market.
"Our engineers have worked for more than five years, seeking and building the most advanced technology to create an external graphics card with the powerful performance available today," said Edgar Eliseo, founder and CEO of exklim . "The biggest challenge we faced was power consumption. Thanks to NVIDIA's newest architecture, we were able to maximize efficiency to build and bring the world's first portable eGPU to market."
In addition to running any gaming or video application, the eX Core provides a convenient and cheap upgrade solution for laptops. Rather than having to migrate to a new laptop every year to increase graphics performance, the eX Core allows you to keep yours by upgrading to the newest eX Core at its current time and performance - saving a significant amount of time, money and risk of losing files.
"As a gamer myself, I love mobility, laptops and design, and I related to the need for a portable eGPU that packed a power punch," continued Eliseo. "Our goal with the eX Core is to evolve the computer industry, enabling users to have the freedom they need to experience quality and performance - from anywhere, at anytime."
Other eX Core features and specifications include:

And a 1060 or even 1070 in maybe a slightly larger case could make this an actual solid product...
funny that they state being on Canadian french side which would explain gibberish English ... (wait did they seriously wrote "English is hard" ? that's rich for defining the easiest language to learn around the world ... ) since Canada is mostly English speaking ... it's highly unlikely that a French-Canadian would have any issues in English.
but they actually have a "Chinese" way of wording in English (Chinglish?)
i can't understand that excuse, i am Swiss French-speaking side ... and English is not one of my country 4 national language, unlike for them (oh wait they have 2 or i am mistaken)
everything is fishy about them .... specially the way they put their product forward, as if it was a technological advance, something worth of notice or even priced adequately....
the chronological picture going from 2015 to 2018 is worth a barrel of laugh .... :
"exklim(r) Rebuilding the GPU" yeah right as if they did anything,
"groundbreaking developement. We have minimize size and maximize efficiency" that one sound like a Aliexpress/Alibaba/banggood/GearBest seller ... and come on ... they only did put a MXM mdGPU in a fancy case with a tiny fan,
"finalized first rebuilded MXM 3.1 Type A GPU" .... yeah right again .... they did rebuild the MXM better
world funniest statement (among a huge lot of them on their kick) right ... MXM didn't exist before them
(funny i am pretty sure that you would do all they did, in a DIY fashion, just like eGPU were also possible like that and not by passing via the "known manufacturer case" eGPU box
