GIGABYTE Launch AORUS AI BOX Smallest eGPU with a Desktop RTX 5060 Ti
The AORUS AI BOX eGPU external graphics adapter has been introduced by GIGABYTE, which is built on a desktop-class GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 16 GB memory space graphics for high-of-the-high graphic dimensions with various interface ports.
Main Features and Specifications
AORUS AI BOX intends to bring high-end graphics performance to any device with just one cable. Some key specifications for it are as follows:
- GPU: Desktop GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 16 GB memory.
- Connectivity: Utilizes a Thunderbolt 5 interface, with backward compatibility for USB 4 for use with Project G-Assist.
- Performance: GIGABYTE claims that Thunderbolt 5 gives only a 5% performance drop compared to an internal PCIe 4.0 x16 desktop setup.
- Dimensions: Very compact at 117 x 243 x 45 mm.
- Ports: Contains three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (with Power Delivery 3.0) and one Thunderbolt 5 port.
- Cooling: Incorporates GIGABYTE's Windforce cooling system to manage heat.
- Aesthetic Features: Brand name logo with RGB lighting.
Performance Claim
GIGABYTE declared that a Thunderbolt 5 connection gives performance equivalent to PCIe 4.0 at x4. This superb channel should enable the external RTX 5060 Ti to function really close to internally installed desktop counterparts with little performance loss.
