eGPU solution for Lenovo X1E v2, i9 9880H, 16GB over TB3

Featured Replies

Hi folks,

I am looking to use an eGPU to help run X-Plane11 and DSC World on the Pimax 5K XR OLED 200 deg FoV VR head set. I am thinking I might need to up the X1E's i9 to 32GB of RAM from 16GB considering how CPU intensive X-Plane 11 is and then use a Razor Core X eGPU enclosure. Now I am then trying to decide between a GTX 1080ti and an RTX 2080. Pimax recommend a GTX 1070 or greater. With the latency of Thunderbird 3 and the fact that I will only be using 4 pcie 3.0 lanes rather than 16 am I on the right eGPU path?

Is this a laptop?

If yes this is poor choice. Throttling will be your new friend. I dont recomend it.

It looks like people have had good results with the Lenovo X1Es after re-pasting and undervolting. I am currently getting 25fps with Otho4XP all the sliders maxed out and Vulcan turned off and that is just with the standard GTX 1650 without any mods.

I am stuck with the Laptop.

Has anyone run VR off an eGPU? If so should I go for a Razor Core X + GTX1080Ti or the new AORUS RTX2080Ti gaming box considering the 4 lane Tunderbolt 3 bottleneck.
