Hi I have a Razer Blade i7 9750h with the RTX2070 Max Q graphics card. I am currently using it to play games and especially racing sims. Most games run great at ultra settings however there are some which don’t at 1080p. If I purchased the Razer core and put a RTX2080 Super or RTX2080 Ti in it would this make a huge difference to the laptop and output, or would the i7 9750h processor be holding the system back. Thank you.

    It probably wouldn't make a great difference. Usually there's around ~20% performance decrease from using an eGPU. So if you've got a 2080 in an eGPU, it will likely perform similar to a 2070. Definitely not worth the $1000 dollars you'd be spending for the eGPU and graphics card. If you want even better performance, you might look into undervolting (this would decrease temperatures and maybe allow your GPU more thermal headroom for better performance), making sure you have all of your drivers updated, using MSI Afterburner to do a slight overclock or undervolt, or just taking the money you would have spent and building a dedicated gaming PC.
