Yeah ! But fuck Google , that ' s no fun at all ! <| sep |> Well the reclaimer is large but it runs a pretty small crew compliment . It ' s like a navy cruiser vs a cargo ship . <| sep |> The East River is actually an estuary , not a river . Discuss ! <| sep |> Just USB TypeC will not provide you with eGPU compatiblity . You will need Thunderbolt 3 support . nbspSomething to keep in mind is that all eGPU solutions rely on being able to connect to the PCIe interconnect of the laptop and thus for the card to appear to the OS as if it is a regular PCIe device . Since USB TypeC or otherwise does not expose PCIe lanes , it cannot be used for eGPU . nbspThe following connections expose PCIe lanes and can be used for eGPU 1 Thunderbolt 1 , 2 and 3 Easily accessible connector , high bandwidth , the best plugandplay capability . Enclosures are expensive , with the cheapest requiring modding and costing around 140 $, and most ranging from 200 $ to 500 $ depending on ease of use and required modding level . Not present on most laptops . 2 M . 2 Typically used for NVMe SSDs , providing up to 4 PCIe lanes . The highest bandwidth available identical to Thunderbolt 3 theoretical but without any Thunderbolt overhead . Typically not an easily accessible slot , requiring opening the laptop ' s maintenance panels to reach . Not present on all laptops . The adapter required costs around 200 $ cheaper ones do not provide access to all four PCIe lanes . 3 Expresscard A single PCIe lane , so performance is restricted . However the slot is easily accessible as it is designed for external expansion cards to be added easily . This connection is all but extinct in modern laptops , with only some workstationbusiness laptops still offering it . Adapters are cheap and plentiful , costing about 4060 $ depending on moving ebay prices . 4 miniPCIe A single PCIe lane , so restricts performance more than the above # 1 and # 2 options similar to Expresscard . Not easily accessible in most cases and often occupied by the laptop ' s wifibluetooth module . Present on nearly all laptops as it is the means by which wifi capability is commonly added . Adapters are cheap , costing around 4060 $.
