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.

And of course I'm interested in hearing what you think about it?

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 =)
