Hi!

Just wanted to share some news from intel about external GFX-cards I came across.
I know there has been lots of discussions about this in the forum and maybe this is the future for us who loves GPU computing.

yep read that.

its awesome. :D

Gpus being lighter in powerconsumption, faster, smaller (gtx750ti/gtx670mini) is nice
now all we need is a decent priced model for the ready-to-go egpu boxes

yea, read about this topic a while ago - actually thunderbolt 3 seems to be much more flexible & hopefully new devices will be much more easier to setup! =)

for those who interested it's already a possibility to connect GPUs using older Thunderbolt (2 & even 1), but it requires bit more work =)
