Does your external graphics card have to be completely enclosed? Can it be a dock so you could revel upon the card, and it can ventilate itself better? Good Way has a possible answer to this solution, with its new DBF7059 Thunderbolt 5 eGPU Dock. This dock features a Thunderbolt 5 upstream link, including the ability to segment the interconnect such that the host-to-GPU transfers operate at 120 Gbps, and GPU-to-host at 40 Gbps, ensuring the best possible bandwidth for the GPU in an eGPU configuration.
The dock features a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 slot, and a bridge chip that converts this to Thunderbolt 5. It also integrates a 700 W power supply, so it can supply a modern graphics card with a 600 W-capable 12V-2x6, besides 75 W from the slot, and the remaining power for its bridge chip and other dock features to function. The dock has been extensively stress-tested by its designers using high-end graphics cards to ensure endurance in a professional and enterprise environment, where its target users are trying to expand their commercial laptop's graphics capabilities with a high-end GPU. Lastly, Good Way also threw in some downstream connectivity, including stereo USB audio, an SD Express card reader, a 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-A, a 10 Gbps type-C, and a Thunderbolt 5 downstream port, so you can daisy-chain the dock to additional devices.
