However, since it comes pre-installed with a GPU, you don't have to worry about shelling out even more money for a graphics card. Value: When you first see the Gaming Box's $589.99 price, it looks like it's the most expensive eGPU out there.

The box is sealed, so you don't have the luxury of switching out the graphics card at a later date.Ĭompatibility: Though we tried using the box with the MacBook Pro 13 and the Blade Stealth, the ThinkPad T470 was the only system that recognized the Aorus.
There are three USB 3.0 ports, an orange quick-charge USB 3.0 port, an HDMI, a DisplayPort, a pair of DVI-2 ports, a Thunderbolt 3 and the power jack.Īccessibility: Unlike other eGPUs, the Gaming Box comes with the GTX 1070 Mini GPU installed. Ports: Despite its diminutive size, the Gaming Box comes with plenty of ports. And if you want to game on the go, the Aorus also comes with a little carrying case for stow-and-go convenience. A pair of large grates sit along both sides of the system allowing for airflow and a nice view of the GTX 1070 Mini GPU inside. The silver chrome avian logo gleams on the top front of the device. Similar to Aorus laptops like the X7 v6, the Gaming Box is swathed in matte black aluminum. It's the perfect size for those with little space to spare. Measuring 6.4 x 8.4 x 3.8 inches and weighing 5.2 pounds, it's the smallest box we tested. But since you lose the ability to swap out GPUs, you might find yourself purchasing another Gaming Box in a few years when the GTX 1070 can't cut the mustard.ĭesign: The Aorus GTX 1070 Gaming Box is hands-down the most adorable eGPU.
That makes it the cheapest option in the long run. The Gaming Box's comes pre-installed with a GPU, you don't have to worry about shelling out even more money for a graphics card. However, the Core X lacks ports for USB and Ethernet as well as the Chroma lighting, so gamers looking to create a large gaming station will be left wanting. For the price, you still get Razer's premium build quality along with a space large enough to fit some of the most powerful graphics cards on the market. Value: At $299, the Core X is Razer's most affordable eGPU.
It will also be one of Razer's first enclosures to support MacBooks. Compatibility: Like the Core V2, the Core X works with dual and quad-lane Thunderbolt 3 notebooks. The few ports the Core X has can be found in the back of the Core X and consist of a Thunderbolt 3 port and the power input. It's still made from jet-black CNC aluminum with the large, silver, tri-headed snake emblem on the left and a large peekaboo grate on the right to let you look at your GPU. Razer has ditched the quartet of USB 3.0 ports, as well as Ethernet along the rear of the device, leaving only the Thunderbolt 3 port and power input. But size isn't the only change you'll see. The Core X eclipses both at 14.3 pounds and 14.7 x 9.1 x 6.6 inches - all the better to fit a massive Nvidia GeForce Titan V, my dears. If you're looking to supersize your external graphics enclosure, the Core X is for you. However, fans of Razer's Chroma lighting will be disappointed as the Core X lacks the colorful customization feature. The Core X will be one of Razer's first eGPUs to play nice with Macs. The $299 Razer Core X offers a bigger chassis, perfect for installing massive GPUs like the Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan V while eliminating the USB and Ethernet ports. Never one to rest on its laurels, Razer went back to the lab with the Core and came back with something bigger, more streamlined and affordable.
