"Interestingly, the RX 580 Gaming Box drops the Aorus branding of its Nvidia counterparts, despite being a nearly identical product."

Possibly a result of the GeForce Partner Program with the requirement of having an NVidia specific sub-brand and what not... but that is just speculation as we will probably never know what that is all about because people don't seem to be pushing too hard to figure it out.

That said, if this thing has the same performance loss, vs properly installed desktop cards, as other external graphics boxes we will probably see RX 470 levels of performance out of it... maybe a little less.
