external GPU stup for Titan V?

[chantecleer]

So I ordered a Titan V for deep learning purposes.. I have a macbook air and Asus ROG 702 which itself contains a GeForce 1070. 

What is the best enclosure that would potentially work for both machines? And is there anything extra-ordinary needed to take care of the Titan V's needs? I am very new to the graphics card game

 

All advice is appreciated

No laptop dock on the market will run the Titan V at max.  Titan V saturates PCIe x3 and TB3 uses x2 or x4 at most

so what will run it at best performance? may as well use it partially until I build a PC later on

What exact model of macbook air do you have?

Don't be hard on me... but macbook air mid 2012

Might have better luck with the ASUS ROG 702?

what a terrible waste of money to put that card in a GPU enclosure. if you're going to be spending that kind of money, get a dedicated desktop for it and keep your laptop for your other uses

Buying a 3K USD graphics card when you don't even have a high end desktop (getting it later is a moot point).

 

Shouldn't you be spending 3K USD towards a high end desktop first and get Titan V later?

 

I mean, no offence, but if you can't afford to buy a high end desktop right now with Titan V, you really shouldn't buy that card,
