Justice for External GPU's!

[TechNut1337]

Hello LTT community, some of you may have seen a topic I posted a while back questioning if the Silverstone T004/Asus XG Station 2 ever got a release date. Since then I've really ironed out my research of the matter and found that the reason no eGPU's have been released recently is because of bans by Intel and Apple. Silverstone was unable to receive Thunderbolt licencing from Intel and decided to partner with Asus knowing they already had the licencing BUT Intel still denied the product and now its at a stand still. If anyone else is a Mac user, you know how difficult it can be trying to use graphic intensive programs and games on Intel's Iris graphics. It's good, but not wow omg rly? good. So upon further research I found that there's actually a Change.org campaign already in effect to maybe send a message to Intel and I'm attempting to see if we can get the great LTT army to get the 200 or so more signatures this petition needs to hopefully show Intel that this is important. Thanks so much guys and have a good one!

400 signatures wont do anything. If they have proper reasons for not allowing that you will need a lot more.

That's extremely true, but at least it's something ya know :\

The thing is just a few months from a year old, it's not going to get any attention from Intel even if it gets a measly 400 signatures. You'd need hundreds of thousands to even get their attention, never mind getting them to remove the ban.

So you need intense graphics performance.......... and you go and buy a mac?

 

I'm not signing this, if you want to game go get a proper gaming pc.

And yet, Alienware made it possible by simply making their own connector.

So if ASUS wants they do the same.
