So, I had a great plan for a project, but I'm not sure if such a product exists. 

 

I wanted to install a Radeon VII in my full ATX desktop PC, on a "vertical riser" of sorts, but the riser acts as a switch between the x16 it's plugged into and a Thunderbolt/USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 out.

 

The main function of this is so that I could use my VII in my main PC, but could flip a switch and plug in my Macbook Pro to do music and video editing without the need to switch monitors or buy a second graphics card/enclosure. I also don't want to plug an enclosure to both PCs, so that I have maximum performance on my main, and so an enclosure won't take up unnecessary space.

 

If anyone knows of such a product, or if there is a way to accomplish this otherwise, please let me know! Open to any ideas!

Correct me if I am wrong but the best way to do it would be to get an external thunderbolt 3 GPU enclosure and then just plug the thunderbolt 3 into what ever device you need to use, granted you may need to get a thunderbolt 3 card for your PC
