Sapphire introduces the GearBox Thunderbolt 3 eGFX system for external graphics.

Although these systems are not particularly interesting and have a highly reduced audience, the company has launched one of these chassis for eGPUs designed for ultrabooks, laptops, miniPCs or any other equipment that has a very discreet graphics and thus increase power and system performance. This chassis supports different models of graphic cards, being the option recommended by the company the RX 580 from Sapphire itself.
