The task of the Sonnet Egfx Breakaway Box 750 is to use an almost any PCIe card (which is basically plugged into computers) as an external unit and through Thunderbolt 3 interface to your computer, eg. Connect to a laptop, iMac, to machines that do not have an internal card due to their design. Or, besides the internal card, we would like to use new video cards for greater computing performance.

The device's 750 -Watt power supply guarantees that you can use a constant 375 -watt, up to 475 watts of video cards. It has two 6+2 pines power connectors for video cards. Compatible with the most popular products such as AMD Radeon, Radeon Pro and NVIDIA GeForce, Titan X and Quadro cards. So if for example. So far, our laptop has not been suitable for running serious 3D games and design programs because its video card is much weaker than the more serious cards used in desktop machines (which in themselves often consume more than a laptop and have a larger physical size), now using an external video card (EGPU).

Of course, not only video cards, but also other PCIe cards can be used in the Sonnet box. Full long, full height, normal or double wide × 16 PCI Express 3.0 socket. The built-in extra quiet fan speed control is guaranteed as quietest as possible. But it can also use liquid cooling, supporting a 120 mm liquid cooler block.

In order for the Sonnet Egfx Breakaway Box 750 and the PCIe card it contains, it must be compatible not only for the hardware but also by the operating system. In fact, it may even depend on the software to support the use of EGPU. For example, the Apple Final Cut Pro is only MacOS from 10.14.1.

The EGPU Breakaway Box 750ex extra is the built -in HUB compared to the normal version. Thanks to this, there are 1 gigabit, RJ45 and 4 USB3.2 (Gen 1, Type-A) connectors on the back. (The USB3.2 Gen 1 is not a novelty, the latest renaming of the USB standard known as USB3.0 and later USB3.1 GEN 1.) For connection, we get a 70 cm Thunderbolt 3 cables for the product.
