Razer is launching a new $350 external graphics enclosure that can boost the visual performance of gaming laptops or handhelds, provided you make a few other investments. The Razer Core X V2<\/a> is the first of Razer\u2019s Core X eGPU chassis lineup to support the faster Thunderbolt 5 connectivity standard, providing a single cable that provides up to 140W of power to connected host devices.<\/p>\n

Some generational upgrades provided by the Core X V2 include support for larger four-slot AMD and Nvidia GPUs, and backwards compatibility with Thunderbolt 4. Laptops equipped with Thunderbolt 5 are still pretty rare, but the Core X V2 should theoretically support bandwidth speeds of up to 80 Gbps for devices that can make use of it.<\/p>\n

Aside from a 120mm cooling fan, that single Thunderbolt 5 cable is the only other accessory, however. That means customers will not only need to purchase a compatible desktop graphics card (which can get pricey for the more powerful models), but also a standard ATX power supply that meets their GPU requirements in addition to the 230W for the Core X V2 itself.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Previous Razer Core enclosure models, like the $399 Core X Chroma<\/a>, came with a pre-installed power supply. The change perhaps offers more flexibility for GPUs with lofty power requirements, but for everyone else, it\u2019s just an additional expense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Razer Core X V2 also loses the integrated USB and Ethernet ports provided by its predecessors. Users who need more connectivity for peripherals will therefore also<\/em> need to buy a compatible Thunderbolt 5 dock \u2014 just like the $390 one that Razer conveniently announced<\/a> alongside the Core X V2.<\/p>\n

\"Razer\u2019s<\/p>\n

The Thunderbolt 5 Dock is currently available to buy on Razer\u2019s website. The Core X V2 is also listed, but isn\u2019t on sale yet. We have asked Razer to share when the eGPU will be available to purchase.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
