Posted August 28, 2019 I want to try to add a external GPU to my laptop, which rn just got a mx250 in it. From what i know most loose PCIe X16 only uses USB or that port the Wireless WIFI card. My laptop got a Type-C SS port on the side too, and from what i know Type-C are suppose to be really really fast, faster than USB 3.0, so why arent there any Type-C to PCIe x16 adapters, like that would work really good right?

Posted August 28, 2019 Type C is just the name of the connector, there are phones with type C port that supports up to USB 2.0 only. 13 minutes ago, DankDeuxez said: faster than USB 3.0, so why arent there any Type-C to PCIe x16 adapters, like that would work really good right? There is such thing as Thunderbolt 3 which uses the Type C connector at 40Gbps (3.0 is only 5Gbps, 3.1 10Gbps, 3.2 20Gbps), tho non-video stuff only gets to use 32Gbps which is equal to PCIe 3.0 x4.

Posted August 28, 2019 As jurrino mentioned, thunderbolt is an easy yes and basic type c Is a definite NO Make sure everything is compatible before throwing down egpu money Want to custom loop?
