This Small Box Will Turn Your Notebook Into An RTX Ready Gaming PC

Thin and light utlrabooks and big, burly gaming PCs continue to be popular with consumers and have shown consistent growth recently. But the two categories are at completely different ends of the PC spectrum – ultrabooks are about being as sleek and portable as possible, while most gaming PCs are flashy behemoths that weigh a ton. If you want the best of both worlds, but don’t have the budget or space for two separate machines, Gigabyte just release a new eGPU solution that features NVIDIA’s latest and greatest GPU technology with support for real time ray tracing.The Gigabyte AORUS RTX 2070 Gaming Box is a 212x96x162mm (8.3x3.7x6.4in) external enclosure that weighs in at only 5.1lbs. Inside the AORUS RTX 2070 Gaming Box is – you guessed it – an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 GPU. This particular GPU, however, has been customized by Gigabyte and features a shorter PCB than standard reference designs, with an oversized cooling fan that covers almost the entire card. The box attaches to any Thunderbolt 3 enabled notebook with eGPU support and essentially adds the full functionality and performance of a desktop-class GPU, in addition to a notebook dock.
