- Aoostar RX 7600xt EGPU works hot but slower than its complete desktop counterpart
- Not all laptops will handle the reverse load of USB4 or the bandwidth pcie 4.0 with grace
- At 61 decibels, the cooling solution exchanges thermal control by constant environmental noise
As the most compact computer solutions crows the market, Mini PC suppliers are increasingly resorting to external graphic units to offer an update route.
Aoostar is the last to join this trend with the launch of its EGPU XG76xt, built around Rx 7600xt of AMD and admitting 16 GB of GDDR6 memory in a 128 -bit interface.
This desktop level GPU is based on RDNA 3 architecture, built using a 6 Nm process and presents 32 computer units.
Performance limits and thermal design
Marketed as a modular solution for users who seek to improve visual performance without moving to a complete desktop, device specifications seem solid on paper.
The graphics processor supports a 2470 MHz game clock and a 150W electric ceiling on this enclosure, below the complete GPU desktop TGP of the 190W GPU.
This limitation could affect sustained yield, especially in demanding thermally demanding applications.
However, for those who seek a commitment between mobile comfort and graphic muscle, it can offer an impulse, particularly when integrated GPUs fall short for tasks such as editing high -resolution images or handling multiple 4K screens.
The enclosure includes a personalized steam chamber cooling solution, a complete copper thermal dissipator and a fan housed under a grill superior to the honeycomb.
While this configuration seems able to keep the thermal under control, the noise level under load reaches up to 61 decibels.
That is not a whisper for any standard, and it could be harmful in shared or silent work spaces.
Aoostar XG76xt admits both Oculink and USB4, which allow hot exchange and offer a reverse power delivery of up to 100W, which can load your laptop on the same cable.
This may seem convenient for those who use a laptop for video or photoshop edition, although not all systems will admit these characteristics equally.
USB4 is based on PCIE 4.0 lanes, which improve bandwidth on inherited EGPU approaches, but performance bottlenecks compared to internal GPUs are still possible.
On the screen side, the XG76xt presents an HDMI 2.1 port, two displayport 2.1 outputs and a-C type port that admits Displayport 1.4 with a power delivery of 15W.
A ¥ 3399 (approximately $ 470), the price is not unreasonable for an EGPU with a current generation GPU.
However, for anyone looking for the best GPU to demand creative work or internal high -end game desktop games in a traditional tower, they still offer better dollar yield.
At the time of writing, this device is exhausted and there is no confirmed global release date or a replenishment date.
