Cousins Tablet plus eGPU

[WilliamBear]

Hi

My cousin has recently purchased a Eve V Tablet and realized that games don't cooperate really well with tablets, he plays Anno and total war like me, so unoriginal!

Anyway.

 

So they want to buy a eGPU and monitor, (told him monitor so there isnt data going back and forward through thunderbolt 3)

 

is this a plausible idea or shoul i tell him to save up and get a PC in half and year or so?

 

Eve V is 7th i5, 250ssd and monitor would just be a 1080

 

if you want more info just ask,if not thanks for your time!

theoretically it would work as long as the thunderbolt port has enough PCIe lanes.

it Has 4 which seems sufficient

The tablet CPU is very underpowered so don't expect to play CPU heavy games even with a TB3 eGPU.
