Blackmagic eGPU Pro with Vega 56 video card costs 1359 euros

Ouch!

 

"featuring the blazingly fast AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics processor"

 

1,199 dollars for Vega56? Quite cheap, considering it's an Apple accessory.

 

i didnt know external gpu were a thing? how extact do they work? connection wise

 

$1200 bux will work out to $100 a month for the viability of this product. the 7nm product will be out and way less expensive

 

thunderbolt/USB 3.1

 

they have the bandwidth need to do this?? interesting

 

Yes there are quite a few out there not just this 1 and all use thunderbolt mainly

 

This is an absurd.. when i see the price i think it was a dual GPU solution..

 

I must say, I'm a bit surprised someone who visits Guru3D as often as you hasn't heard of eGPUs. They've been around for a while now (though to your credit, they've never really been priced well to gain any popularity, and they're not all that portable). To my recollection, they've been around since the ExpressCard 2.0 days.

 

yah I been trying unlearn alot things i know about PC tech, I think heard something about few years back? but didnt think much of it cause I Didnt see how that worked any usb connect at the time, or thunderbolt, which apple only thing? so filed it under "I can forget" I didnt even have smart phone let alone iPhone until like 6 months ago, I refused to get one, And i only got that cause my old cell phone out righted died and I Was told i need cell phone so I was give a hand me down 6s, I pretty much only use to play FFBE and Dragonball Legends, which why didnt want one in first place haha

CPU and GPU news and Windows fun pretty much alone reasons I come here daily

 

"blazingly fast AMD Radeon RX Vega 56"...compared to the usual Apple laptop solutions i suppose.

Anyway, it's not very expensive for the true Apple fanboys buying iphones X and R...

LOL

 

The price is high because it is a MXM version of GPU

 

So, where's the point in buying it - for that amount of $ you can purchase a "blazing fast" gamer-edition notebook or an equivalent desktop PC packed into the movable small size case...

edit: on another note, since when US$1,199 equals 1359 Euro (I thought Euro is somewhat "pricier" than US$)...

 

I don't know if it is specifically the case here but typically us prices don't include sales tax while eur prices include vat.

 

Yes in the UK/EU we show the actual price not pre tax

 

OK, so the point still remains: for 1359 Euro, tax included, one can purchase a high grade, game-oriented desktop PC (packed in a nice, small size case), or a game oriented notebook...

 

Yeah of course mate I was just stating how tax works different in UK/EU
