eGPU

[god of noobs]

does eGPU deliver similar performance with low latency as of now. if not, are there any potential possibilites to overcome ?

9to5mac gives the best coverage of all thunderbolt devices. 

 

Basically yes there is overhead and you do lose performance, there ios nothing that can be done to improve that however, Thunderbolt 3 just doesn't have enough bandwidth to do better yet.

so.. there will be atleast 30-40 % losses .. but what if software tuning pulls an insane trick to minimise the losses 

less than 10%

Yeah, it's software that's causing the high latency with the PCIe to thunderbolt and back again fuckery. eGPU that use PCI express might loose the hot plug-ability, but gain much better performance vs thunderbolt.
