Hi Forum,
I recently bought a 49" Ultrawide (Samsung C49RG90) for my 2019 Razer Blade (i7-8750H, 2080 MaxQ, 1080p 144Hz) but as I expected it had not quite the power to handle the monitor's "almost" 4k resolution at demanding games.
So I opted for a Razer Core X with a 2080ti (ASUS ROG Strix OC) in hope of improving the framerate a bit. But quite the contrary happened.
The internal 2080 MaxQ is pushing significantly more fps than the desktop card. Also, the 2080ti doesn't get warmer than 55 degrees celsius under full load (90-95% gpu useage ingame).
Monitor is plugged into the Core X via Displayport and the Core X itself is plugged into the Blade via T3.
I didn't reinstall the nvidia driver because the 2080ti gets recognized by Geforce Experience(which says the right driver is already installed) and the System itself.
I also didn't install Razer GPU Switcher because it says on their website that you don't need it with an up-to date Windows version..I get an icon on my status bar with that I can switch GPU's around atm.
I mean, I expected a kinda big performance loss due to the limited bandwitch of the T3 port, but 10-15 fps at almost 4k is a pretty bad number compared to 30-40fps on the MaxQ..
Are eGPU's really that bad? Am I doing something wrong here?
Sorry for my broken english (I'm from Austria) and thx for comments!
