eGPU on docking station

[Locodice]

Hello Guys

 

I was looking at dock stations lately for my Dell XPS and i was wondering is there a possibility to hook up an external GPU enclosure on a laptop dock and get it to work.

What a was thinking is to take a dock(like Dell's TB16 which has TB3 output) and connect it through Thunderbolt 3 with the laptop and hook up on the dock the external GPU enclosure (something like Aikitio or razer's).

 

Has anyone try it that before or something similar?

You can, but you will get much increased latency and low framerates. The best way to go about it is an eGPU that can be chained to the dock instead of chaining the dock to the eGPU. See this video for more info.

 

 

Also the forum post about it.
