Is an external graphics card worth it?

I wanted to know whether an external graphics card is worthwhile because my laptop graphics card (gtx 1050) has too little power for me and is also an older model. So I wanted to buy an external graphics card but don't know if it's worth it.

It always depends on what you want to do with it in the end. If the current performance is no longer sufficient it may make sense. But make sure you don't spend too much, sometimes there are newer used notebooks for a cheaper price 😉

My current one doesn't get rich
