- With a power raffle up to 600 w, the Rog XG Mobile is fast, but energy hungry
- Creative professionals are attended –Unless they are in Mac
- ASUS cuts a 18.2% discount the size of this desktop power
Asus has introduced its last external GPU, the ROG XG Mobile, which is equipped with a GeForce RTX 5070 ti or the high -end RTX 5090.
According to Videocardz, the RTX 5090 model presents 10,492 CUDA and 24 GB cores of GDDR7 memory, which makes it one of the most powerful EGPU solutions available.
This device also has an updated design with a new hinge mechanism and a built -in support, reducing its size by 18.2% while maintaining a compact and laptop appearance, something similar to a high -performance heater, less than 1 kg .
A creative power, unless you use a mac
The ROG XG Mobile comes with Thunderbolt 5 connectivity that supports transfer speeds of up to 80 Gbps. However, it remains compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and USB4.
In addition, it serves as a coupling station of the portable expansion computer, which offers multiple connectivity options, including USB type A ports, a SD card reader, HDMI 2.1, Displayport 2.1 and a 5G Ethernet port capable of speeds up to 5000 Mbps.
Cooling is an important focus of the new Rog XG Mobile; Asus has integrated a steam chamber and a dust filter, increasing the cooling surface by 54% compared to the previous models.
Its redesigned rear side vents contribute to a quieter operation, reducing 3DB noise levels. The device also includes an integrated feeding source of 350 W, but with high energy demands of RTX 5090, the total system consumption can reach up to 600 W under load.
Asus has set the RTX 5070 TI version at $ 1,999, with the device ready for launch on February 25, coinciding with official NVIDIA orders for the GPUs of the portable computer RTX 50. While the price of the RTX 5090 model does not It has been confirmed, it is expected to be significantly higher.
This EGPU is a convincing option for professionals who use portable business computers that need high -end GPU energy in a portable configuration. However, for Mac users, the news is not so promising. Apple silicon chips, from M1 to the last M4, do not admit EGPU, leaving many creatives without an external GPU option.
