M.2 to GPU Adapter

[Moonzy]

In this video, linus mentioned that he would do a video on this (1:47)

 

but did he ever?

dont think so

Not even sure how that would be possible.

Unless it's a PCIe based m.2 slot you have to connect it to, that makes sense. Couldn't see this working over a sata m.2 slot though.

you plug it into the m.2 slot that the wireless adapter goes in not the storage

pretty sure wireless adapters in laptops connect to mPCIe not m.2 slots.

depends on how old your laptop is. but there are versions of that cable that also do mPCIe

while ity does work over x4 m.2 slots its still only X4 so i cant see why youd want to unless it for mining where it used commonly

just curious to see if its a better or worse solution than thunderbolt

as razer core is costly, while that cable is only about $20 or something lol

it would be roughly the same since TB 3.0 is PCI-E x4

would have different overhead i assume

more drivers on the TB side I'm guessing
