Gigabyte rolls out its latest Aorus Gaming Box with water-cooled RTX 4090 over Thunderbolt
Gigabyte has launched its latest eGPU, the Aorus RTX 4090 Gaming Box. The accessory comes fitted with an Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU equipped with Gigabyte’s Waterforce liquid-cooling solution and is designed to give high-end graphics performance for laptops. It is equipped with Thunderbolt 3 connectivity and should work fine with laptops that incorporate Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports, and even those equipped with USB 4.0 ports.
Powering the graphics box is an 850W power supply with a 90% efficiency rating, which should help to ensure optimal sustained peak performance. The dimensions of the box are 189 x 302 x 172mm, with a matte black finish and a single Aorus RGB logo on the front panel. It is designed with ventilated top, left, and right side panels to facilitate airflow and ventilation, although the liquid-cooling should do most of the heavy lifting.
The Gigabyte 4090 box offers various rear and front I/O options, including three DisplayPort 1.4a connections, a single HDMI 2.1a connector, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, an ethernet port, and a Thunderbolt 3 port (compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 ports as mentioned earlier). Additionally, there is a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port at the front. The rear Thunderbolt 3 port supports up to 100W of power delivery, allowing users to charge their laptops while utilizing the graphics card and its additional dock-like connectivity.
The Gigabyte Aorus RTX 4090 Gaming Box is rolling out to retail now, although the company has yet to formally announce how much it will cost.
