TECH NEWS – You can’t just install a graphics card in your PC, there are external solutions.
Smaller, mini PCs are also showing improved performance, but the integrated graphics chip can’t always deliver acceptable gaming performance. One of the leaders in the external graphics card market has been OneXPlayer, and now a new version of it has been announced. It uses AMD’s more advanced Radeon RX 7800M chip, based on the Navi 32 diet, with improved performance and newer eGPUs. It has 60 compute units (CUs), 3840 stream processors, 28.1 billion transistors, and is coupled with 180W TDP and 12GB VRAM. The RX 7600M XT was in the OneXGPU, and compared to it, it has more CUs and VRAM, so the performance of the second model is much higher.
Compared to the OneXPlayer X1 handheld, the OneXGPU gets a 200-500% higher frame rate, according to the manufacturer, so it’s in a completely different category. We see a lot of ports on the dock. Oculink port with 64Gbps, USB 4.0, HDMI, DisplayPort, so you can easily connect to external displays. There’s even a dedicated M.2 2280 SSD interface with a magnetic cover so you can swap out storage in a jiffy, and the dock has RGB lighting around the edges to make it look even more unique.
It will be available for purchase on Indiegogo starting September 26th (price for the first four days, then going up). If you just want the eGPU, it’s $840/900, but if you want to turn it into a mini-PC by adding the OneXPlayer X1-8840U, the price doubles. So the hardware will include an AMD Ryzen 7 8840U CPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD, but you’ll pay $1838/1908 for it. If you want a 2TB SSD, add another $80, so you’re looking at about $1918/1988.
Keep in mind that this is not in a monstrously large computer case, but you are getting quite compact hardware for your money, and the smaller format is usually more expensive…
