Watch your Thunderbolt 3 eGFX laptop transform before your very eyes with the Razer Core X. This beast is designed to deliver desktop-class graphics straight to your laptop without the fuss—just plug and play. We’ve made sure that the Core X is compatible with both NVIDIA GeForce, NVIDIA, Quadro, and AMD Radeon cards. With built-in versatility, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Windows or Mac user, this is the external graphics enclosure for YOU.



The aluminum enclosure is designed with open vents and additional desktop cooling to provide optimal thermal performance for long gaming sessions. It houses a massive 650W ATX power supply to provide power for the latest and even future graphics cards. A single Thunderbolt 3 connection to the laptop now provides 100W of power for charging. Plus, more space for larger graphics cards at a new affordable price.

No it’s too big, get Core v1 or 2 it’ll fit Razer messengers bag with stealth...If you’re okay carrying 7Kg device on your bag though:)

Yes different from Aorus gaming box Core isn’t made for portability, anyway who bring eGPU out there, Linus or someone who taking picture of his eGPU in hotel is ...idk what to call, maybe if like Lenovo TB3 Dock with 1050 that could be easily slipped on backpack I can understand, but with full size gpu, even itx, that against the meaning of laptop portability, it’ll be better bringing gaming laptop for that even bulky 3Kg one, still way better and lighter than bringing Aorus gaming box and ultrabook, and save more space.

Looks great. definitely making me want to switch to portable laptop with a powerful home base.
BEAST . Too good but expensive
It looks great, however I did like Core V.2 a bit better, design that is..
So, just in case I missed it, this can be used with any laptop?

@Joikansai Thanks for the info. If I have the funds to dish out on this, my XPS 13 would support it! I really appreciate it!

Make sure you play on external monitor if you want to have best experience on this setting.
"Compatible with Mac"

And then of course Apple decide to down grade APIs on their platform
This would be perfect for me. Now to try and save up money XD.
Although I still prefer the desktop for true joy of gaming I would love to test this baby with my MBP 🙂

No.

Perfect example of wrong or misleading information on the internet.

The Razer Core or Core X require a Thunderbolt 3 port, which has a 40Gbps speed. These ports utilize USB-C, but beware: not all USB-C ports are TB3 as well.

It’s similar egpu setting with previous core, only has bigger PSU that take advantage only from AMD card, and bigger room for better compatibility and bigger Fans for cooling, in term standards non OC performance is similar. Here’s one of the highest score . But graphics score somehow lower than mine (Blade 14), and cpu score should also higher, as score with dgpu...
Looks awesome!
