In return, notebooks like the Zephyrus GX501 with GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q yielded almost identical scores with the external GTX 1080 Ti. Unsurprisingly, Ultrabooks or tablets equipped with slow integrated GPUs benefit the most from an eGPU. Results obviously vary depending on game/benchmark and whether the application is launched on an external or the internal display. By and large we would thus assume the performance hit to be just as bad as with the Razer Core. On the Eve V the results were almost identical despite the faster CPU (i7 vs. In order to ensure comparability, we ran our benchmarks with the same Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition that we had already used in the Razer Core review.

When booting up with the Venus, Windows 10 either hangs or the integrated screen shows the Windows Logo all them time and flickers.

Update: The new 2018 MacBook Pro 13 with Touchbar worked fine under OS X but did not recognise the GTX 1080 in Windows 10 (Bootcamp) when connected during usage.

However, the Ethernet port required extra drivers under Mac OS X. We ran a Radeon RX 480 under OS X without any trouble at all, the RX 460 however was recognized but did not work. In addition to external displays the eGPU enclosure also supports driving the internal display under Windows. Plug and play worked flawlessly under Windows once we had the GPU drivers for our Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition installed. We have tested a MacBook Pro 15 2017, MacBook as well as various Windows notebooks ( Eve V Convertible with Core-Y i7, Asus Zephyrus GX501 with GTX 1080 Max-Q, Acer Predator Triton 700) and did not experience any issues with either of those. That said, the short cable is basically a compromise - high bandwidth requirements can be problematic with longer cables, and they tend to be incredibly expensive to boot. The loud fans in particular made us want to place the unit underneath the desk. Another issue we have had was the relatively short included Thunderbolt cable (0.5 m/~1.6 ft), which turned placement into a rather arduous task. While this would reduce available Thunderbolt bandwidth somewhat, it would all but alleviate the connectivity issue that notebooks with just a single Thunderbolt port are facing. Unfortunately, it lacks an extra Thunderbolt port for daisy chaining a second GPU or connecting an extra USB-C or Thunderbolt device. That means that USB, LAN and SATA are only taking up bandwidth when used.
The included ports are also driven by the "Intel dynamic firmware" according to Mantiz. Accordingly, unlike the Mantiz Titan (which is currently in review) the Mantiz Venus is not a real Thunderbolt dock but offers high GPU performance in return. Thus, the choice is usually between leaving them out entirely or connecting them via USB 3.0. After all, increasing SATA and Ethernet bandwidth would inadvertently hurt GPU performance. SATA and Ethernet are internally connected via USB in order to preserve bandwidth for more important things. In addition, it also features 5 USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and an internal SATA port. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4Īs already listed in our key facts the Mantiz MZ-02 supports more than just a single PCIe card.
