Technical Notes
- While the eGFX Breakaway Puck features a 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface, some computers equipped with Thunderbolt 3 use an x2 PCIe lane implementation of Thunderbolt 3 technology that limits PCIe performance to 20Gbps. Find more computer information here. Full performance also requires the use of the included Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable, or other Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cables; look for the Thunderbolt icon AND the number 3 on the connector housings to identify these cables.
- Ultrabooks with 45W AC power adapters that support Thunderbolt 3 Power Delivery (PD) may be powered and charged by the eGFX Breakaway Puck, even while gaming. Laptops with 60W AC power adapters that support Thunderbolt 3 charging may be powered and charged by the Puck under modest CPU usage, but will slowly discharge using the 45W of Puck power under heavy CPU usage. Laptops with AC power adapters rated at 85-100W that support Thunderbolt 3 charging will accept 45W power from the Puck, but will slowly discharge. Connecting bus-powered storage to a laptop will draw additional power that may affect the charging (discharging) rate. When sleeping, any connected computer that supports Thunderbolt 3 charging will be charged to 100% by the Puck.
- A few professional applications (such as DaVinci Resolve and Cinema 4D) have menu options to use the external GPU even if the app is run on the internal monitor. Final Cut Pro requires 10.14.1+ for eGPU acceleration.
- HDMI Audio not yet supported.
- Ultimate gaming performance is attained by using a display attached to eGPU.
- Must run Parallels on a display attached to eGPU. See Using eGPU with Parallels Desktop for Mac
