USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C capable of using a external graphics card for Laptop?

Hello people, I have a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7(14ARE05 (82A2005KMH)) and I was wondering If I could use an external GPU with this laptop.

I'm not sure if the Gen 2 is capable of doing this.

In my pc I have an RTX 3070ti that I wanna make as an external GPU because I don't have the space anymore for a full size PC, so I'm trying to use my laptop as my new PC but the GPU in the laptop is not the best for gaming so that's why I wanna use the RTX 3070ti in some sort of external enclosure.

Here's the specsheet of the laptop: https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Yoga/Yoga_Slim_7_14ARE05?M=82A2005KMH

 

Anyone knows something about this? Thanks!

Not possible. You don't have thunderbolt.

 

Even if you had thunderbolt is so limiting in bandwith even a 3050 overwhelms it. So your 3070ti would perform anywhere between a 1650 to a 3070ti in games at random moments.
