PowerColor Starts Selling XCONNECT based DEVIL BOX

PowerColor Starts Selling XCONNECT based DEVIL BOX

TUL Corporation (PowerColor) has announced their DEVIL BOX, which was shown at Computex earlier this year) is ready to sell. The PowerColor DEVIL BOX is based on AMD XConnect Technology which was introduced on March 16th, 2016 by AMD. 

AMD had developed this technology in collaboration with Intel’s Thunderbolt group and Razer Inc. The PowerColor DEVIL BOX is primarily for the users who would like to have an even more powerful graphics card on his/her notebook in pursuit of desktop-class graphics performance. With a qualified graphics card, not limited to either AMD or nVidia, installed in the PowerColor DEVIL BOX and connecting with Thunderbolt 3 specification, gamers and enthusiasts will be able to play any types of games on a thin laptop.

AMD XConnect technology is a feature in today’s Radeon Software graphics drivers that makes it possible to connect and use an external Radeon graphics card in Windows 10. External GPU enclosures configured with Radeon graphics can easily connect to a compatible notebook or 2-in-11 over Thunderbolt 3. A PC configured with AMD XConnect technology and external Radeon graphics can be connected or disconnected at any time, similar to a USB flash drive—a first for external GPUs.

Quantity is very limited so Devil Box can ONLY be bought on below websites. MSRP is US$379 or 419 €.

What a waste, as you can already get desktop-class performance in a laptop, from Nvidia, so you don't need to buy a one of these. :P

This is more geared towards laptops without a dedicated GPU.

But you have to figure, a laptop with TB3 would cost probably what $500 minimum?

You buy this Devil Box for $420, so now you're at $920. Which would be great! But then you still need a gpu, which if you're dropping the cash for this already, chances are you're going to get a pretty fast GPU to go with it.

Now on the other hand, if you're someone that already has a laptop or a Macbook even with TB ports and you want max performance at home or even a lan party, this is a pretty sweet deal. Well, price wise it isn't. What if offers though is pretty nice.

I think this is a killer idea, but an awful price. If these external GPU Enclosures keep coming with high price tags, then it's going to turn out being a very niche market. I would buy this at say $200.
