Looks sick
Amazingly affordable and compact enough, razer hitting it out of the park with a damn portable desktop
Hi!
*AwEsOmE* product!! If i had not yet gotten my Razer Stealth + CoreV2, I might have stayed on the mac side with that! :)
I really like the direction where this is going, this is exactly the kind of product that moves computer gaming in general (mac&pc) forward!!
Way to go, Razer!!
I'm interested in this core x. One question, I've a wacom mobilestudio pro 13" with 3 USB-C.
It will work with my computer? Thanks for anyone will reply.
Thank you.
krishinzNo unfortunately, those usb c I believe don’t support Thunderbolt technology, so far I know for tablet only Asus transformer Pro that could run with external gpu setting through its port.

Asten__Can’t you use also v2 for your Mac? I think nvidia cards isn’t supported yet but amd is already.

Hi ,
Lets say if i buy Core X and put
GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X TRIO 11Gb gddr5X PCI Express Graphics Card Black in it :) Does this compatible for new Razer Blade 15 series with NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070 Max-Q Design (8GB GDDR5 VRAM, Optimus™ Technology) does this two works with each other ?
Thanks :)
lastselcukNo, in term gaming, one of GPU, 1070 inside Blade or 1080ti will sleep, can’t work together. There’s GPU switcher from Razer for Laptop with dgpu like Blade 15 for that. For cuda works both seem could work together, about that I’m not quite sure how though.

Hi!
JoikansaiTheoretical, yes. Tough there are a lot of issues if you own a macbook pro with two graphics cards for reasons i do not understand - you need to hack in efi code to make it work afaik. For normal MBpro's with intel gfx cards it should work. My story was that i switched from an imac that was 6 ys old and only had tb1 - so i would have to switch systems anyways and I wanted something really portable with some awesome gfx card (playing on an imac was ok but compared to my current razer setup somewhat lacking as you can expect). I was aware of Apple's efforts with external enclosures at that time tough everything was still in beta. Generally, for me the external enclosure market was not yet mature enough (given everything i heard about the CoreV1 and the manuals i have seen to connect some Sonnet Gfx-enclosures to a Mac) that I wanted to go with one supplier for the complete system to avoid having compatibility issues even tough that meant i had to switch away from mac os which really is a downer. On the hardware side, the Razer Tech delivered everything i had hoped for and more, this setup (corev2, RBS i7-8550 and a 1080 gtx with a nice big screen) for me is working exactly how i had hoped it would be in the ideal case - so i am very happy with that. On the OS side, i am fairly ok with runnig debian in a WSL container for all the command line tools i am used to and the rest native on windows. Still - even tough I do not need the Core X at the moment i am fairly excited about it because it means there would be a "supported" way back to mac os for me. I have to say tough - the RBS in terms of production quality and product design outmatches apple products in my point of view (tough i think both are great)!
Can’t you use also v2 for your Mac? I think nvidia cards isn’t supported yet but amd is already.
Asten__Greetings! Did you also already check egpu.io there’s a lot Apple users talking about egpu there, if you don’t check it yet it’s worth to check, a lot of Forum threads recently talking about ...Mac OS...egpu...

Can I use the Core X, with Nvidia cards on WIndows/Bootcamp?
I understand it only works with AMD on macOS for the moment, but does Nvidia cards work on Windows?
btw, I have the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports, https://support.apple.com/kb/SP747?locale=en_US) without touchbar.
eddyhdzgYes, just follow like mentioned on this review.

Hi!
JoikansaiThanks for the link - when i last time played around with this, there was a lot less information and research availible - awesome!
Greetings! Did you also already check egpu.io there’s a lot Apple users talking about egpu there, if you don’t check it yet it’s worth to check, a lot of Forum threads recently talking about ...Mac OS...egpu...
See you,
Asten
Asten__The moderator there seems Mac user so he knows well about egpu in Mac environment.

krishinzYou do have thunderbolt technology. Just not Thunderbolt 3 in which you do need to be compatible. :frown_:
I'm interested in this core x. One question, I've a wacom mobilestudio pro 13" with 3 USB-C. It will work with my computer? Thanks for anyone will reply. Thank you.
lastselcukYou can put just about any graphics card in there and it'll work. It will not work together simultaneously if thats the question at hand.

surfer1081Thanks, But if its not work together how is that sounds like a "a desktop sitting on your laptop " . I thought that GPU working like a SLI.
You can put just about any graphics card in there and it'll work. It will not work together simultaneously if thats the question at hand.
Well for one, the SLI configurations that you are thinking of are bridged on a single motherboard and are the same type of gpu. Here you have two different configurations (on board gpu and egpu), in which the motherboard cant run both simultaneously. The other is just having two different cards, but given the setup it wouldn't matter anyway.
It is essentially a "desktop" computer when you are able to boost an ultrabook or weaker gaming laptop to a much more powerful computer with any gpu at your disposal.
However, if they had the Core where it could fit gpu x2, there you have your SLI configs but hopefully the laptop at the other end could handle it :wink_:
I am really interested in buying a Razer Core, but I don't know whether the Core V2 or the Core X.
I plan to use GPUs like Titan V in size (gaming is secondary, I know about the TB3 bottlenecks but this does not apply here), from what I read GPUs of this class of size can fit both the V2 and core X. Can anyone confirm this?
I don't plan to use massive size GPUs, just standard sizes such as founders edition for reference.
I really want to buy the Razer V2 for its smaller size, but does it make sense now with the new Razer core X ? Do I lose any relevant feature by choosing the V2 and not the X?
Any advice is welcome!
Look at the measurements for both, then look at the GPU size. Just from reading, At least the X will do.
What are you using the Titan for? Alot of AI research?
Out of curiosity, what notebook would you be hooking up to this? If the 8th gen notebooks are in play, I dont think bottleneck will be to much of an issue.
labotsircBased on what I know, - Core V2 has USB-A Hub + Ethernet port unlike Core X, with a separate TB3 controller, so you won't experience peripherals stutter like other eGPU. Meaning Core V2 is the better choice if you care about 1 Cable Solution. - However, Core V2 only outputs 65W to power your host device, and Core X outputs 100W to power your device (current TB3 technology is cap at 100W), while most devices are fine with 65W, 100W is more or less future proofing. - Core V2 RGB flair is like a bonus, not important, but nice to have. Core X has no RGB at all.

labotsircFrom the size it fits both, but officially Core x Support Titan v and would be more comfortable to have bigger room, 150 Watt bigger PSU and normal size Fan to drive and cool such beast cards. The downside is there’s no usb and ethernet port there, so you will use it only as egpu enclosure not like v2 that act also as docking station for my Blade stealth.
