Pretty much the only point of the liquid cooler is being able to use an existing product. Otherwise an air cooler customised for the enclosure would be just as good with no need for the liquid and pump.

Might as well have put a Quadro in there. This thing is going to starve for bandwidth to be of anything that isn't using CUDA or OpenCL.

Scaling guide
4K Resolution:
3.0 x16 = 100%
3.0 x8 = 98%
3.0 x4 = 94%
1440p Resolution:
3.0 x16 = 100%
3.0 x8 = 98%
3.0 x4 = 92%
Considering the above and the fact that TB3 is tad faster then PCIE 3.0 x4, you can game comfortably in 1440p and 4K with almost the same settings you can on Direct attached PC, some minor tweaking, some GPU overclocking and you wont feel the difference.
Gigabyte already has product page with spec and images.
P.S. Everyone can agree its better then nothing and based on scaling above not THAT bad actually, and for people that ACTUALLY need such device its godsend.
What we need is update to TB protocol that can use a pair of TB connections in unison to double the bandwidth, it will remove all the bottlenecks
Youll be surprised actually 🙂
TB3 40gbps = 5000 MB/s
PCIe 3.0 x8 = 7880 MB/s
PCIe 3.0 x4 = 3940 MB/s

yep, same old similar boxes killing 1080GTX between 1060 and 1070 in the best cases
and price , be honest 1500e+ maybe 2k killing this box in begininig
still price be high and be close in some whole NTB with 2070
this external boxes maybe have future but not now and honestly not in +2 years too
TB behavior is more than USB like PCIe, means so many latencies added and its bad thing
resume
overpriced
specific used
lower performance than you excepted in half of scenarios, maybe more

If you are gonna pay 2K wouldn't you just get a laptop with a 2080 already in?

I have an eGPU setup with a 1080Ti. So glad I replaced my main PC with it.
