Surface pro 4 and Razer Core

[Tom_198]

Hi guys,
So I have a surface pro 4 and a gtx 1080 that I won at a local league of legends tournament, and a nice benq display i got off my roomate.

I want to run more demanding games but my surface just doesnt have the power.

Right now money is a little short for me (aka im a broke college student) and was wondering if it would be possible for me to save money by hooking up my surface pro 4 (16g of ram and an i7 6700) to a razer core with the 1080. Im asking because razer hasnt specified if it the core works with non razer laptops, also my sp4 doesnt have a thunderbolt 3.

Thanks guys
TJ

Well from what I can see, I believe some people have gotten the core to work with other devices and putting drivers onto other devices. Not sure about the surface, but even still you would need thunderbolt 3 or usbC and it is not supported by Razer.
I would check out this:

Looks like some people got it working, some flaky and some didnt at all.

Honestly unless you can spend the $600 it cost here in AUS 😉 on the core and test it. It probably isnt worth the risk of wasting $600 seeing as the surface 4 has no thunderbolt or C. For that money it'd be cheaper to buy a desktop and plop your 1080 in that I mean that's a large chunk of cost off the desktop without needed a GPU.
