Will the new GeForce RTX 30 series fit in the Core X Chroma?

Chroma X supports up to 3 slot gpu and can provide up to 500 watt tgp for the gpu alone, so it’ll fit and provide power just fine on most RTX 3000 series cards, be carefull though on gpu size like behemoth 3090fe maybe won’t fit well. It’s still TB3 enclosure with limited bandwidth so I’m not seeing if there’s anything need to improve on new gen GPUs, the only things to consider drivers compatibility like on host laptops and titles that sometimes bad optimized on Egpu setting. I even use 3070 almost a month with smaller core v2 and Blade stealth as host laptop, some titles need to play the setting around like dx11/12 (depends title) to get smoother experience, switching dgpu appropriate to avoid driver crash (I use gpu switcher from Razer for this, made for blade 14, but works fine on blade stealth 2019 1650maxq). So far it’s great experience, 2080ti performance (around 20% less than desktop performance probably) for €500 on this setting isn’t bad at all.

Ok awesome. Thanks for all this info! I’ve got the 2020 Razer Advanced with the 2080. I thought I’d get the core so I can upgrade to the new cards as they come out

Not sure on latest 10875H CPUs like on advanced but gaming laptop with high end GPUs won’t necessarily need eGPU setting imo unlike ultrabook or other low end gaming laptops that have weak gpu. In most case probably you’ll get better gaming experience with 2080. It’s due TB3 bandwidth limitation that maxed on PCIe3 4 lanes vs 16 lanes on pcie direct motherboard. On top of that most gaming laptops TB3 is routed through pch controller resulting more bandwidth penalty, for comparison recently I checked on horizon zero dawn 4K Ultra with 3070 eGPU, on stealth icelake (cpu integrated TB3 controller) scored on benchmark 46fps, on blade 15 2018 advanced 8750H cpu (TB3 route through pch controller before goes to cpu, similar route with 9750H and probably 10gen mobile gaming CPUs like 10750 or 10875H) scored 30fps on best egpu setting using external monitor. This video I think can explain that TB3 implementation on gaming laptop and current ultrabook for Egpu setting.
