MINISFORUM DEG1 eGPU Dock External GPU Docking Station for RTX 4090 AMD RX 7900 XTX eGPU Enclosure Graphics

Works great, all plug and play. No issues running it with Nvidia RTX 5 series cards. Being open air card stays pretty cool and quiet. Might want to consider shorter aftermarket cables to keep it looking neat and tidy. Excellent value for the money. Read more

Outstanding simple egpu dock! Pros: -Well made solid metal design -Simple features with Power on button, gpu connection, and power connection -Works great with my Gpd Win Mini 2023 connected to an Rx 6080xt Cons: -Doesn't seem like Nvidia Gpus work out of the box with a gpu setup. Read more

I was worried I'd have to fiddle with the settings to get everything to talk to each other, but it fired right up and worked right out of the box once everything was wired up properly. Note I'm using another Minisforum as the base PC, so YMMV. Hardware: - Minisforum UM-890 Pro w/64gb of RAM - Radeon RX 6950 XT - MSI MAG 650w PSU Software: - Bazzite (that's it, OCulink handled the GPU same as it would on a desktop) Read more

I bought this Minisforum external GPU dock to house a Nvidia RTX card, along with a power supply. Connection to the PC is via an Oculink cable that came with unit. Attaching the power supply and the video card was very easy. You just plug them in. Connection speed is fine, as measured with a benchmark app. The unit is turned on and off from the PC; very convenient. The whole setup works flawlessly and for $99, it is a good value. Read more

No riser support bracket for the GPU. PCIe connection is wobbly and loose. I don't recommend if you plan to use for prolonged periods. Better to buy an enclosure with actual support for GPU stabilization. Read more

Nice and compact. Nice that it supports both SFX and ATX power supplies. Performance over Oculink seems equal to my previous build with the same GPU installed directly on PCIe. I noticed a few reviews complain about the GPU being wobbly. Unsure if these people missed the included bracket piece that attaches to the upper screw holes of the PSU... With that installed, the GPU is perfectly secure. Read more

This works exactly as stated. Works pretty much out of the box as long as you have the right supplies (video card & power supply). Read more

I was really skeptical about trying this thing out. Had an urge to get a minisforum because I wanted a desktop that could serve as a laptop but also have high end graphics when I'm home. Also didn't want to spend money on a giant rig and a top end laptop. So this thing was the crucial piece in making that pipe dream come true. So far, and it's been a couple months, so good. It's built really well. I dropped a corsair power supply on there and a 4070 Ti Super and it's been rock solid. I'm getting really good throughput with oculink. Uningine Heaven getting minimum 100fps, often 250. I'm pretty much maxing out game graphics. bus interface pinned at x4 4.0 so i'm not seeing any degradation of throughput - full speed pcie gen 4 bandwidth. It's a little weird to see the card just out in space like it is but i keep it on the back corner of my desk and kind of like the way it looks. If it ever gets hot, which it hasn't yet, I can blow a fan right on it. Oculink card install in the minisforum was simple. Worst case, buy a case and use the graphics card there. I hate giant cases - it's one way around it. Read more
