- Dual Thunderbolt 5 ports and Oculink raise this EGPU beyond typical external GPU standards
- Nvidia Ada Lovelace Cards shine in this unit
- The compact design and daring specifications make fevm fngt5 pro an upgrading power upgrade for pcs
External GPUs have long served as a way to upgrade the graphic capabilities of a laptop, especially for users whose machines lack discreet GPU.
The FNGT5 PRO of the Chinese manufacturer FEVM is the last participant in this niche category, providing an ambitious mixture of high -end GPU options and modern connectivity features.
The FNGT5 Pro supports three RTX 40 laptop GPUs, in particular RTX 4060, 4080 and 4090.
RTX EGPU targets high
Measuring 142 x 100 x 60 mm and with a total volume of 0.86 liter, the FNGT5 Pro is compact and friendly, but not quite of a pocket.
Despite its portability, the device has two Thunderbolt 5 ports (100W upstream and 30W downstream), a high-speed USB-A port and an Oculink interface.
Offering both Thunderbolt 5 and Oculink distinguishes it from most rivals, which generally only offer one of the two.
The display connectivity is managed by HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4A outputs.
If you are part of the Apple ecosystem, however, don’t get too excited, you probably can’t use this EGPU with a MacBook Pro.
Apple has not supported external GPUs from its transition to Apple silicon, and even Mac based on Intel were only compatible with the Thunderbolt 3 EGPUs using AMD GPUs.
Although Thunderbolt 5 is theoretically compatible and extremely fast, MacOS does not have the driver’s support necessary for NVIDIA cards, in particular those hosted in non -certified enclosures.
So, although you can physically connect the FNGT5 Pro to a MacBook via Thunderbolt, it is very unlikely that it works as expected.
As for the price, the RTX 4090 laptop GPU of higher level, with 16 GB of memory and 9,728 Cuda cores, costs $ 1,374, steep, but in accordance with office equivalents.
The RTX 4080, with 7,424 Cuda cores and 12 GB of memory, is at a price of $ 1,040, while the entry -level RTX 4060, with 3,072 Cuda nuclei and 8 GB of RAM, is $ 555.
For users looking for the best laptop for video editing or photoshop, associating a system compatible with a powerful EGPU like the FNGT5 Pro can help fill the performance gap without engaging in a complete desktop configuration.
