nah, a PHONE-type dock is the future imagine needing only your phone and not having to bother with anything else, you just come home and dock it and play game on your 100 inch tv in 8k 600hz or even better a phone that unfolds from 5 inch to 100 inches (magically ofc) so you dont even need a dock or tv/pc monitor, only a mouse and keyboard

So how do you actually get the Razer Core X Chroma to work? I'm using a Founders Edition RTX 3080TI and the ROG Ally X does NOT play nicely with my device, but I'm thinking either my device has bad USB ports, or I'm missing a specific driver
I'm one of the people who got an og ROG Ally with the proprietary RTX 4090m eGPU. Had a good time but I decided to just get an actual desktop if I'm gonna leave it plugged in, so I bought a top of the line i9 14900k RTX 4090 desktop PC from Starforge Systems, and it's truly a game changer.
its too bad you didn't go AMD Chip on that PC. While Intel finally coming out with fixes its too late for a lot of people. Hopefully your machine is doing fine. But a lot of those intel chips are randomly crashing and having other issues and the AMD RYZEN X3D chips are much better for gaming if that is your use case.
@@Bulladin989 Yeah my machine is doing great. Already did a bios update a little over a month ago. The desktop itself as of this moment is only like 6 months old so there isn't an issue, and Starforge Systems even extended warranty for those effected by 4 whole years.
Same thing with me have an OG ally with the 4090 xg,I would like to upgrade to the X but it loses that propieretary plug with the XG mobile and just becomes a paper weight,I still love the thing tho im able to play Ready or Not-Starship troopers extermination-First Decendant very comfortably Ps. Also built a PC lol got the coveted AMD 7800x3d with a 4070ti super
Considering a pcie4x4 like the Adt-Link UT3G but also the CPU bottleneck, what would be the lowest one could go with a GPU to get these results? The 4090 was clearly not being used to its full potential here, so a smaller and/or older GPU could have this same results with a higher percentage of usage, while being way cheaper
Great video. I recently got a Razer Core X Chroma paired with a RTX 4070 Super so that would be good to see testec on the ROG Ally X. The part of the video where you explain testing bandwidth of USB 4 and Thunderbolt connected to an eGPU is really useful. I paired my Razer Core X Chroma with a Dell XPS 17 9700 and I am see significant stuttering problems with games like F1 2020 so your testing tips are going to help!. I am tempted to get a 2nd generation of one of these devices to pair to my eGPU setup next year. Thanks for all your videos - I am a big fan and regular watcher!
Hi, I'm trying to connect the egpu dock to my ally x but it doesn't recognize the graphic card at all. Nothing in the device manager. But my laptop recognizes the card right away. I tried to update the bios and System but nothing worked. Can you help me? Thanks
do think the cable heats up , as u claimed it sends 30GB/s , for example an usb flash can hold up to 10 seconds then lowers the bandwith cause it gets too hot
What I was curious about, and your Timespy score shows it a bit, was that if you are docked to an external GPU, would disabling the iGPU free up additional overhead and power for the CPU to utilize itself more efficiently. If all settings were compared completely equal... CPU Score with External GPU = 9,168 CPU Score without External GPU = 7,664 That's almost a 20% CPU performance bump, so docked with an external GPU to free up resources for the CPU is more than JUST a graphical power bump!
It makes sense right? Because even cranked all the way up, you now have 30+w of power just for the CPU and not split between the CPU and iGPU. I've thought for awhile, AMD would be better off building a 6 Core / 12 Thread CPU with a 890M. That would be a monster of a Gaming CPU/iGPU. Unfortunately, every 6c seems to only come with something like a x60M iGPU which has less GPU cores. I would think reducing the CPU power requirements would allow for more power to the iGPU (see how well the Steamdeck does with its only 4c).... Sort of the inverse of this.
@@paulbeers4105 It's one of those things that "makes sense" but at the same time, I'm happy to have seen empirical evidence of it. I was wondering if even the power split between CPU and iGPU was still limited in some way and that disabling the iGPU wasn't going to really have an affect or not due to other limits I may not have known. It's just good to have your gut feeling verified. :D
@ETA there are eGPU docks like the ADT-Link UT3G that are much more modern than the Razer Core board and can deliver 4x PCIe4 speeds over USB4v1, with only about 7-10% perf loss. The razer core (or any TB3) is closer to 20-30% loss. And for comparison an Oculink dock is about 3-5% perf loss, but it is not hot-swappable. I'll take 10% over convenience any day.
Ive got the orara dock arriving today to do just this on with my 4090. Currently was limited to my rx 6600 since it fits in my 2016 razer core. ETA, you really need to start disabling the integrated screen when doing these benchmarks. Ill be able to test it myself, but feeding back that image to the integrated display takes up bandwidth on the usb4, even when also using a separate display.
So what's the best handheld with oculink to have the best world or handheld gaming + docked gaming with egpu? Aly X would have been the perfect device if it wouldn't be the usb4
so the best that the z1x can do without bottleneck is the rtx3060? I might just wait for the Ally 2. hoping we get better usb pass through and a better chip?
Nice video / setup ! You should try real full USB4 eGPU like ADT-link UT3G, bandwidth is 3600 where TB3/TB4 can't go past 2600-2700 and with much better latency coz it's PCIE GEN4 instead of GEN3. Got much better result in game without stutter with my flow X13 2023 + USB4 ADT-Link + RTX 4090 ;)
Hey, how did you installed and got the Nvidia running without conflicting with the iGPU/AMD drivers? You say you deactivate the I GPU, how do you do it? How can people install both drivers and use the iGPU on handheld and the dGPU docked? Many people get Nvidia ‘s “error 43”
My desktop got a 5600x and 32 3200mhz ram, but I have a 4090. I’m wondering if this will be an upgrade, just get a cheap egpu mount and go for it. I was looking to get a laptop but a decent 4070 is more than $1k.

As others have mentioned I'd really like to see the 4060 with the Ally X. Something like the SGW Zone eGPU, could be very enticing. Only problem I could see with that eGPU is the ability to find MXM GPUs to upgrade to, that is if the company doesn't provide them.

Hi, I have a question. I have a 4090 rig at home. Would it be a problem if I took out my 4090 FE up to 4 times a year, to put into a E GPU case, to take it with me with an Ally? I mean, in terms of wear on the gpu slot. Thx in advance.
Love your videos it got me to order the onexplayer x1 mini with the EGPU. Is there any kind for dock you recommend for the onexplayer x1 mini for playing on a large tv?
Awesome video! I thought you could plug the monitor into the GPU? This should alleviate the bandwidth issue. There are some examples of this providing far better performance with the Ally 1st gen running into the XGMobile and the XG pushing out to the monitor.
Could you do this with RX 7900 XTX? I run that over oculink and the loss of performance is alot lower compared to the loss of performance compared to when I ran the same setup with a 4080.
Would such a setup work with the AMD 7900 XTX ? Would I need different type of drivers for it to work than the ones that I would normally need for ASUS Ally X? I know that many people like to connect these to Nvidia GPUs but does everything work with the AMD gpus? I´m asking cause I was thinking about such setup but I don´t wanna spend my money on such setup just to be limited or it not working at all.
What GPU would you recommend for 1080p max settings for dog ally handheld. I wanna max out the refresh rate on every game at max settings. But I’ll be using it handheld 90% of the time so I don’t need 4k

The XGM 4090 is only $1,580 rn and I'm tempted to upgrade my 6850M. OG Ally has 60gbps to handle it. I also got a Flow X16 as well.

"only" lol you people in NA have it really easy,
i live in Austria and im in the top 5% in income and i still cant justify this price...
@@faustinpippin9208 'It's only $600 guys! That's such a good deal!.'
You, among everyone who bought a 3090TI before or a 4090 now have been played by the corpo as gullible fools.
...
Remembering when the top-of-the-line enthusiast GPUs back in the GTX pascal era used to cost around $750 max.
@@faustinpippin9208 I don't think you are in the top 5% then ;)if you are, just the time you are thinking about or watching this video would be enough to cover this purchase

Can you please do one with a new dock? I have the same Razer one with a 4070 and i want to see if it would be worth it to upgrade to a newer enclosure.
We already have good egpus, it's just that usb 4 sucks for that purpose ( use an oculink )
These are the videos I love. “What happens when you put a 4090 on an ally x😂”
As others have mentioned I'd really like to see the 4060 with the Ally X. Something like the SGW Zone eGPU, could be very enticing. Only problem I could see with that eGPU is the ability to find MXM GPUs to upgrade to, that is if the company doesn't provide them.
will you be reviewing the ne RTX 2000 SFF Ada Generation? i'm considering a second low power low profile GPU...
Hey Prime, what is the best external GPU that fits in a decent case for retroid 4 pro?
random but is there any eGPUs that support raytracing well? Only eGPU im considering at the moment is the newer GPD G1 but im unsure if it can handle ray tracing at 1080p
I wonder how oculink would compare...
So what GPU would you say is ideal for the Ally since the 4090 is overkill if I want to 4k game
I have been looking for a video like this. But, unfortunately , some of the setup requirements are not available in my country
Will this work with AMD video cards? I have an old 6800 collecting dust on my shelf
Almost bought the Ally till I seen the GO had detachable controllers...🤯 Handhelds are the future and with egpu's available, game over console
Why does the game not perfectly run in 4K with Ally X?
Why do you recommend pairing it with a 3060 and not a 4060 or 4070?
I would be interested in seeing how lower end GPUs hold up. Maybe like a 3050.
Hi, I have a question. I have a 4090 rig at home. Would it be a problem if I took out my 4090 FE up to 4 times a year, to put into a E GPU case, to take it with me with an Ally? I mean, in terms of wear on the gpu slot. Thx in advance.
so whats the RTX GPU that sits on the limit of thunderbolt 4, so is best suited to this setup?
Love your videos it got me to order the onexplayer x1 mini with the EGPU. Is there any kind for dock you recommend for the onexplayer x1 mini for playing on a large tv?
Awesome video! I thought you could plug the monitor into the GPU? This should alleviate the bandwidth issue. There are some examples of this providing far better performance with the Ally 1st gen running into the XGMobile and the XG pushing out to the monitor.
Hello! Newbie question, do i need to uninstall/install driver every time you switch from integrated to EGPU or vice versa?
Could you do this with RX 7900 XTX? I run that over oculink and the loss of performance is alot lower compared to the loss of performance compared to when I ran the same setup with a 4080.
what app are you using to monitor your hardware ?
Would such a setup work with the AMD 7900 XTX ? Would I need different type of drivers for it to work than the ones that I would normally need for ASUS Ally X? I know that many people like to connect these to Nvidia GPUs but does everything work with the AMD gpus? I´m asking cause I was thinking about such setup but I don´t wanna spend my money on such setup just to be limited or it not working at all.
Performance is way better than I expected. These are the future console killers.
While the consoles cost 400 dollars only.
I have a ps5 but I know the handheld is better than the console

Sure, the GPU alone buys 2 or 4 consoles but sure, a killer...
Ah yes the console killer with the cost of just 4 consoles

What GPU would you recommend for 1080p max settings for dog ally handheld. I wanna max out the refresh rate on every game at max settings. But I’ll be using it handheld 90% of the time so I don’t need 4k
Looking for some help. Asus x with Razer Core X, razor is being detected but gpu not being picked up. Made sure to have egpu powered on first, made sure gpu is seated correctly...tried older nvidia driver. Still no luck. Gpu is 2080 Super.
Shrug...
You say excessive like it's a bad thing....🙌😂❤️
Can you make a video featuring a middle ground build for an external gpu to comfortably fit future gaming handhelds?
Can you do the same with an RTX3060ti?
