I have a laptop with the following spec:
15.6" MSI GS66 Stealth, FHD, 240Hz, i7 10750H, 16GB DDR4, 512GB NVMe, 6GB RTX 2060, Win10 Home
I'm getting Cyberpunk 2077 to run at Ultra/Psycho settings at 1080p at 60fps connected to my TV via HDMI.
However, I'm wondering what kind of performance upgrade I'd get using an external GPU? I'm considering this:
I am aware that these external GPU's are bottlenecked via the TB3 connection. I'm reading anywhere from 10% to 25%. I'd only be using it for gaming on my TV though so there wouldn't be data back to the laptop, so this would improve the bottleneck.
Anyone have any experience of external GPU's or any idea what I might expect to get? I'd be happy with ray-tracing at 4K and 60fps.
