yes it will reduce it to 20 GB/s (thunderbolt II speeds) and I think you'll have to get an adapter but I can't say for certain.

think about usb 2 vs usb 3.0, if you used a usb 3.0 device on a 2.0 port you get a decrease in performance. and you get the regular preformance if you use a 2.0 device in a 3.0 port.

is there a way to get the full speed of Razer Core on my lappy? about that adapter thing you said @Howlingwolf101 what is it called?

no the bottleneck is the controller on the laptop, it will max out at 20gbps

hey guys have a quick question, I have a laptop that has a thunderbolt "2" port, if I connect the Razer Core GPU Enclosure that has a thunderbolt "3" will it reduce the regular 40GB/S for thunderbolt "3"?

First of all it will be lower speed, about 20gb/s, and I think you need bios level support for that anyways

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

What kind of laptop do you have? I would check to see if in the future AMD certifies it for X connect, probably the most solid way to do external gpu for a while, I'm guessing thunderbolt 2 is still pretty good for the pci interface.

I like good humans and good food

no idea, on Thunderbolttechnology.net it mentions an adapter: 

"Is Thunderbolt 3 backwards compatible with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2?

Yes, solutions and products built to Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 specifications will work with Thunderbolt 3 via an adapter."

Yep, unfortunately an adapter won't do you any good here. I would try using it anyways, as 20Gbps is still a decent speed. Might work, not sure.

yeah the GPU should still run fine, just like how the alienware adapter only runs at 4x PCIe but still runs fine

Huh, I didn't think this would work, but I take back my last statement (maybe). Try it out and see what happens.

It will still run at thunderbolt 2 speeds, just means its backwards compatible, not that thunderbolt 2 is forwards compatible
