GPD’s G2 GPU Dock supports PCIe 5.0 x8 via a MCIO 8i connector

Handheld gaming PC maker GPD has two new devices on the way, and neither are handhelds. One is a mini PC and the other is a GPU dock. What they have in common is that they’re some of the first consumer-focused devices with an MCIO 8i connector with support for PCIe 5.0 x8 connections using an external cable.

With support for data transfer speeds up to 256 Gbps, that means the new GPD BOX mini […]

Framework Laptop 16 OCuLink Dev Kit supports external PCIe 4.0 x8 GPUs and other accessories

The Framework Laptop 16 is a modular laptop with an Expansion Bay designed to let you add a discrete GPU to the notebook.. or swap out one GPU for another. But later this year Framework plans to give users another way to use that Expansion Bay.

An upcoming Framework OCuLink Dev Kit makes it possible to connect an external GPU or other accessories.

External graphics docks are nothing new – PC […]

ONEXGPU 3 graphics dock with Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU supports OCuLink and USB4 connections

One Netbook has been selling external graphics docks for handhelds, laptops and mini PCs for a few years. The original ONXEGPU launched in 2023 and featured an AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT GPU. A year later the company launched a ONEXGPU 2 with Radeon RX 7800M.

Now the company is showing off a new model at CES in Las Vegas. The upcoming ONEXGPU 3 featuring an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU inside.

AOOSTAR AG03 graphics dock coming in February (Thunderbolt 5, OCuLink and an 800W PSU)

Last year Chinese mini PC maker AOOSTAR introduced the AG01 graphics dock with an OCuLink connector and a 400 watt power supply, as well as a second model called the AOOSTAR AG02, which paired the OCuLink connector with a USB4 port and a 500 watt power supply.

Early next year the company will release a new model that kicks things up a notch. The upcoming AOOSTAR AG03 is a versatile graphics […]

MINISFORUM DEG2 is now available (graphics dock with OCulink and Thunderbolt 5 support)

The MINISFORUM DEG2 is a small docking station that lets you connect a desktop graphics card to a laptop, mini PC, or other computer that might not have room inside the case for a dGPU.

First introduced in China in October, this graphics dock supports both OCuLink and Thunderbolt 5 (or USB4v2) connections, allowing you to use it with a wider range of PCs than docks that only support one or […]

ONEXGPU Lite Thunderbolt 5 eGPU with Radeon RX 7600 available for pre-order for $699

The ONEXGPU Lite is a small metal box that houses an AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT GPU. You can plug it into a laptop, mini PC, or handheld to add discrete graphics to a system that would otherwise only have an integrated GPU.

While there have been a bunch of graphics docks released over the past few years that have the same GPU, the ONEXGPU Lite stands out as one of the first models that has an 80 […]

Beelink GTi15 Ultra is an Intel Arrow Lake mini PC with support for an (external) desktop graphics card

Last year Beelink launched a line of mini PCs that are designed to work with desktop graphics cards that may be larger than the computers themselves. That’s Beelink GTi Ultra series mini PCs have an exposed PCIe x8 interface that allows you to connect them to a Beelink EX Pro Docking Station.

Now Beelink has launched a new model called the Beelink GTi15 Ultra. While it has the same exterior […]

PELADN Link S-2 is an OCuLink graphics dock for under $100

Last year mini PC maker PELADN launched an external graphics dock called the PELADN Link S1 that allowed you to add a desktop graphics card to any PC with a Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, or compatible USB4 port. Now the company has launched a new model with an OCuLink connector for higher-speed connections to a PC.

The new PELADN Link S-2 is available now from the SZBox store at AliExpress for $87.

The dock measures 253 x 162 x 41mm (10″ x 6.4″ x 1.6″) and has an open-air design: it’s not a case that houses a graphics card, it’s more of a base that holds a GPU in place and provides everything you need to connect it to a PC… assuming you’ve got a PC with an OCuLink port.

The SZBOX/PELADN Link S-2 has a PCIe x16 interface, a 24-pin ATX connector for power supply, and the dock comes with an OCuLink connector and graphics card bracket. And that’s about it.

Unlike some other external GPU solutions, this is not a USB hub, external storage device, or wireless amplifier. This is a device that’s meant for one thing and one thing only: adding a discrete GPU to a computer that might not otherwise have one, while using a high-speed OCuLink connector.

OCuLink is basically an external cabling solution for PCIe, capable of data transfer speeds up to 64 Gbps. That makes it a better fit for external GPUs than Thunderbolt 4 or earlier, which have theoretical top speeds of 40 Gbps, but real-world speeds that are often substantially lower than that. In other words, the cables aren’t fast enough to let you get all the performance you’d expect from some high-end graphics cards.

Unfortunately OCuLink isn’t as widely adopted in the commercial PC space as USB4/Thunderbolt, which means that this dock will only work with the relatively small number of mini PCs, laptops, and handhelds that have compatible ports. And since the Link S-2 graphics dock doesn’t have a USB4/Thunderbolt port, it can only be used with computers that support OCuLink. If you need something with wider compatibility, you may have to look elsewhere.

Oh, and if the design of this device looks familiar, that may be because it not only looks a lot like the original PELADN Link S1, but also like the recently released MINISFORUM DEG1, which is also a barebones eGPU dock with an OCuLink connector. The DEG1 costs a little more though: it’s currently available for $99 from the MINISFORUM website.
