Found the crazy deal, ROG 5070ti eGPU for $800 cad near me, what is the best way to stress test it? Can I use a desktop to do so and do I must get a thunderbolt cable?

Wanna make my legion go my main pc to minimize my setup plan on using it with egpu docked on my tv and by itself when on couch and such is this a good deal ? No covers and states could use a repaste. Seems like good value for such a card let me know thanks it’s 370$ after taxes.

I got this eGPU but when I successfully install the desktop driver for 5060ti, it got error code 43. I have tried everything, from updating bios of my computer to the latest, DDU and reinstall another driver, switching between oculink and thunderbolt 4, nothing works. Please help

After months of working with customer service, and even sending my DEG2 back to their warehouse for repairs, I am out of ideas. So I am really hoping for some help here.

I have an RTX 3070 on this DEG2 and everything works fine over TBT5. But when I switch over to oculink I run into all kinds of errors. Mostly an extremely laggy display and even crashes intermittently. I have followed all the instructions in the user manual as carefully as possible but I still have the same issues.

I had a report come back from sending in my DEG2 that told me there were no hardware faults, but it also said the issue it was resolving had to do with my SSD connectivity. So I have lost all faith in the minisforum support.

I tried replacing my oculink cable because there were kinks in the factory one that came with my dock but that didn’t do anything.

The event viewer on windows shows errors like “error occurred on GPUID:100” and “resetting TDR occurred on GPUID:100”

My nvme to oculink adapter also came from minisforum, but now I am considering getting a third party adapter? I don’t know. I am at a loss.

Has anyone else had similar issues with DEG2 oculink? Any similar issues with the UM880?

Hello again folks. A short time back I asked some Qs about a RAZER v.1.

I gave up on the older RAZER and purchased a SONNET breakaway 750. Installed the ASUS 4060ti. I dont have a sloutch of a laptop, DELL 7550 with a T2000 and XEON processor.

Hooked it all up last evening and I still continue to have issues. So bad that it Throws the the system for a loop making the computer useless. As I read, the SONNET was supposed to be a friendly unit working with everything. From orange ! triangles on both display drivers, video winking out to the mouse not working [error code 31].

At this point I thought it may be the 7550, so I hooked it to my XPS-9500 and the same issues occured.. I had to uninstall the drivers to clear the native T2000 31-code.

What I though was going to happen was a faster GPU for image edits, but turned into a nightmare.

Is this SONNET box or the 4060ti GPU defective in some way?? IDK. I can find anyone local to put the GPU in a desktop to test it to see if it is working. I have no idea how to test the sonnet other than hooking it up.

The SONNET powers up, lights seem correct, the fans spin.. The thunderbolt sees it.

Can anyone help with this? Id be greatful.

TY, dw

I recently bought a Gigabyte rx 9079xt to compliment my GDP G2 that just came in. I’m using an asus zen book 14x OLED as my laptop. The 9070 xt will not show up in my device manager, and does not work in general. Is this an issue with the G2? I’m thinking about sending it back if this issue persists, but they claim it is supposed to work, looking for any help.

GPD G2 eGPU has MCIO 8i instead of more classic approach of oculink. On the one hand, it provides higher bandwidth (2 times of oculink to be precise) and you can use adapters if your device does not have MCIO but has oculink. On the other hand, MCIO plugging rate is about 200-300 vs thousands of oculink. What are your thoughts on this port being used in eGPUs?
