Hello everyone,
I used to have an eGPU setup running on my Lenovo P51, but I was having major issues with it. Eventually, I returned to a natural desktop setup. However, I'm considering selling my desktop parts and returning to an eGPU setup to save space and be more efficient with my workflow. This thread will relate to one of the major issues I wanted to ask about with having an eGPU setup. I appreciate any responses to this thread.
At some point when I was running an eGPU setup, I switched out the 1070 I had with a 1080 Ti, and this issue was only with the 1080 Ti. During times when I was playing Rocket League with the 1080 Ti, the monitor I was using would periodically flicker on and off, until I closed RL. It could be that the card was under a heavy load (I saw high utilization percentages when doing a basic investigation). Now, the Akitio Node 3 has a 400W PSU, and I was wondering if there was not enough power for the 1080 Ti. The new enclosure I'm looking at (Razer Core X) has a higher capacity PSU (600W, but only 500W will go to the GPU), and should definitely power the 1080 Ti, but I wanted to see if anyone here was having a similar issue with these screen flickers.
