eGPU cost

It's 2022 and with the unpredictable prices of graphics cards rising since the beginning of the pandemic, the question of whether getting an eGPU is really worth it comes to mind. Before we get into that, let's start with a simple explainer about eGPUs? An eGPU is an external graphics processing unit. Unlike the regular GPUs plugged directly into the motherboard via PCIe slots, eGPUs work outside of the entire system via a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 USB-C cable. In terms of cost, an ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo powered by Intel Core i9-11900H, 32GB RAM, 1TB storage NVMe PCIe 4.0 with RTX 3080 8GB GDDR6 can be purchased for Php209,995. Getting an eGPU requires some intense research as well. Speaking of compatibility, Apple has released a support page that states only Macbooks with Intel processors would be able to utilize an eGPU. All while only costing only PHP 29,999 with it going for even as low as PHP 23,999.
