XPS 9500 eGPU & 2080 Super Set Up

We bought a Razer Core X Chroma EGPU & RTX 2080 super to turn an XPS 9500 content creation laptop into a gaming monster. Is an EGPU a viable solution for your a productivity laptop?

Yessss!!! This is what I was waiting for someone to make

Amazing, this setup is what I'd be going for but probably with an 11th gen 13inch XPS for portability when not gaming. Looks like your speculation on the 4 core handicapping the egpu were on the money!

Looking forward for a review of XPS 9700 with the egpu

Yes, The previous comment was exactly right... This is what we have been waiting for 👌

I have the same setup, as soon as I plug the thunderbolt cable I get a blue screen what driver issues did you have?

[rbaynosa]

can you test it with an external monitor also and compare the increase in fps vs when the laptop screen is used?

[alwaysstrapptgaming]

Did u run warzone on fullscreen borderless? Vs fullscreen. FPS increases on fullscreen

Hey something seems to be wrong here... You're getting just marginally better fps than my 1050ti max q in XPS 15 while playing Apex...

Hey, I finally got my m15 2070 Super with the 8 core CPU (over a month build time!!!), and it is very nice! I love the OLED and the keyboard but the trackpad not so much haha. However, the CPU temps are going very high- 90+ on Rocket League, and it keeps freezing for a few seconds every 10 mins or so, maybe because of the temps. Is there a way I can lower this without repasting, as the mobo is flipped. I know you mentioned undervolting, but in the Alienware cc there is only overclocking instructions.
