Hey Is there a PCIe x16 (mechanical) to thunderbolt 3 / usb 4 adapter? I don't mean an eGPU housing. How many lanes could you then connect the graphics card to a notebook or something? As far as I know, Thunderbolt limits 3 to 4 lanes. Does anyone know something exactly?
Where do you want to tap the PCIe lanes on the notebook?
If you want to operate a graphics card externally on a notebook, then you need an eGPU housing
I'm looking for a way without the case. What difference does it make if I had a PCIe slot with a Thunderbolt 3 connection. Quasi a riser cable, only that it is not plugged into the mainboard but into a Thunderbolt 3 port. The problem I see is the thing with the electricity. Actually all AMD cards have a 6 or 8 pin. And even the 100W over TB is not enough. So you would have to supply the card externally. But how?
Sorry, what sense does it make to do the whole thing yourself, if it's already finished?
Use Google: Find an adapter from TB3 to PEG along with a suitable power supply unit, and think about how you can ground the graphics cards
What sense it makes is my business. I just wanted to know if and how it works. And on the subject of the power supply unit. If I have a power supply unit, I first have to notice that the GPU is supposed to be supplying power. This is usually done via the 24 pin. If I bridge the two pins and start the power supply, is it a problem if it is only connected to the 6/8 pin?
No idea. May be
I have never dealt with PC power supplies like this before, because I have a test device for testing for such purposes, there's no need for a mainboard or anything else to test it
Just look for a forum on the net that deals with tuning, overglocking, etc. And try your luck there
