GIGABYTE Shows Off AORUS RTX 5090 eGPU Box Implementing 120 Gbps Thunderbolt 5

GIGABYTE at the 2025 Computex showed off the AORUS RTX 5090 AI Box, which it claims to be the world's fastest external GPU (eGPU). This is an external GPU box with an ATX 3.1 power supply, and a Thunderbolt 5 interface that also leverages asymmetric bandwidth boost—where the host to GPU transmit (Tx) stream runs at 120 Gbps, while the host to GPU receive (Rx) stream runs at 40 Gbps. GPUs tend to be Tx-heavy devices. The box encapsulates a desktop GeForce RTX 5090 GPU that's cooled by an AIO liquid cooling solution. The box also puts out several docking station I/O features, such as Thunderbolt 5 downstream for daisy-chaining, Thunderbolt DisplayPort passthrough, a trio of standard DP, HDMI, 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2, and 2.5 GbE wired Ethernet. The USB ports put out by this box have USB-PD 3.0 quick charge capabilities.
