[btarunr]

GIGABYTE, the world's leading premium gaming hardware manufacturer, today announced AORUS RTX 3090/3080 GAMING BOX, the world's 1st water-cooling external graphics. AORUS RTX 3090/3080 GAMING BOX is equipped with the most powerful NVIDIA Ampere architecture GeForce RTX 3090/3080 graphics card and the latest Thunderbolt 3 high-speed transmission interface and this combination not only brings powerful 3D gaming performance to the Thunderbolt 3-enabled Ultrabook laptop but also upgrades the Ultrabook for real-time raytracing game, 3D animation and deep learning. The AORUS WATERFORCE Cooling System is the only solution that combines performance and comfort, allowing users to enjoy a quiet and comfortable environment while handling heavy work.

AORUS RTX 3090/3080 GAMING BOX is the world's 1st external graphics box with a built-in all-in-one water cooling system. In order to enjoy the best GeForce RTX 3090/3080 computing performance and comfortable environment at the same time, AORUS WATERFORCE is the only solution that can satisfy both demands in a compact size. AORUS provides an all-around cooling solution for all key components of the graphics card. We take care of not only the GPU but also the VRAM and MOSFET to ensure a stable operation and longer life. AORUS WATERFORCE all-in-one cooling system integrates a large copper plate, a 240 mm aluminium radiator and two 120 mm fans. With an optimized pump and water block, it provides the most efficient water flow and cooling performance at a lower noise level.



Powered by the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3090/3080 graphics card, AORUS RTX 3090/3080 GAMING BOX transfers the Ultrabook laptop PC into a gaming platform and delivers incredible performance for real-time raytracing and graphics-intensive games. A network chip that allows you to connect to a wired network is built into the GAMING BOX. You don't have to worry about transmission interference during the game. Install AORUS engine and RGB Fusion 2.0 to adjust the performance and RGB lighting according to your preference.

Powerful AORUS RTX 3090/3080 GAMING BOX accelerates your work with incredible boosts in performance. Whether you are doing video editing, 3D animation, photography, Graphic design, architectural visualization of broadcasting, it can save you a lot of time.

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card with 24G memory and 936 GB/s memory bandwidth has 10496 CUDA Cores, GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card with 10G memory and 760 GB/s memory bandwidth has 8704 CUDA Cores, and both GPUs have hundreds of Tensor cores operating in parallel. Both GPUs bring the power of GPU-accelerated artificial intelligence and machine learning to your laptop PC. AI developers and data scientists can achieve results easier and faster with AORUS RTX 3090/3080 GAMING BOX.

AORUS RTX 3090/3080 GAMING BOX is powerful enough to replace the GPU in any laptop PC on the market. Laptop PC users can enjoy the 3D computing power as a desktop PC rather than low-performance laptop PC GPU.

Would be curious to see the 3090 egpu power brick.

won't these be seriously throttled? I really wish that Thunderbolt four moved to PCIe 4.0x 4 to double the bandwidth and make it so eGPUs weren't bottlenecked [as much].

Actually, the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 x4 isn't the issue, it's really thunderbolt and the way it's implemented. For example, compared to PCIe 3.0 x8 with a 3770K (x16 slot doesn't work), a GTX 980 on the PCIe 3.0 x4 on TB3 actually has lower FPS even with an i7-9750H and 2x8GB 3200 MHz; it has 50% more cores and threads, more IPC, faster RAM, and still loses to my 3770K. In something like NFS Heat, where I would be getting ~60FPS, I could only do 40 on the Thunderbolt interface. It's definitely not a bandwidth issue, more likely a Thunderbolt issue with how it works. That Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling possibly would reduce that limitation, except NVIDIA decided to make it only compatible with 10 series and up, and me having a 980, well, I can't test that.
