Episode notes
USB 4's eGPU Advantage
- USB 4 offers advantages for eGPUs, like better bandwidth than Thunderbolt, minimizing performance loss.
- This increased bandwidth allows for a substantial performance jump, crucial for demanding games.
eGPU Power Delivery Workaround
- The ADT Link UT3G is currently the only USB 4 board supporting eGPUs, but it lacks power delivery.
- Use two USB 4 ports on the Legion Go: one for the eGPU and another for charging.
USB 4 Cable Length Matters
- When using USB 4 for eGPUs, shorter cables are recommended to minimize potential issues.
- Federico discovered this through experimentation, finding shorter cables provided fewer headaches.
