Dont have money to buy it even with the £100 Savings xD

OMFG a NUC with a egpu!? i was wishing for a surface pro with an egpu but, NUC should be more afordable right?

 

How Much is that NUC?

I have this one: NUC7i5BNK

 

It is the only model that is THIN and has Thunderbolt 3. I setup a thicker i7 version for a client coupled with a Quadro P2000 eGPU. My setup was the test bed for that. It works beautifully - like it's fully supported, no issues at all. 

 

I was SO wishing for a Surface Pro with Thunderbolt 3 but alas the latest model only has USB3.0. I already have a SP4, but if they come out with one with TB3 I will ditch everything and that will be my one and only PC, mobile and at home.

 

If anyone is interested in a cheap eGPU solution, look at the Akitio Node

If you mean with an eGPU, absolutely.

 

But wait! Intel is coming out with some amazing stuff. They are working on new models that have discrete graphics built-in codenamed Hades Canyon.

I'm waiting for Hades, too. See what monster they have created. :p

      From what i understand from the article on the link, Google is buying from SpaceX access to a limited supply of Nvidia CPUs.   Evidendtly SpaceX was able to secure access to the Nvidia GPUs shutting out Google from buying them directly from Nvidia resulting in this reverse deal.

    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      LOL, expect to take you seriously? The $7k myth? Ignoring the BILLIONS Qatar spends every year to influence American politicians and universities? Claim terrorists are "journalists" when they are members of Hamas and even have Hamas funerals with their pictures in Hamas garb. "Snipe kids" when they don't, meanwhile the other side sends kids into battle (and their mothers praise their martyrdom) and uses them as human shields and their schools as rocket launch sites and entrances to their tunnels - which they took all their foreign aid to build at the expense of their people. Base their operations at hospitals - violating every rule of war and making said hospital legitimate military targets? AND THEY KILL LGBTQ+ PEOPLE - listen to their own testimonies themselves, their interviews on what they do to them! They're proud of it! Your talking points are all BS and you know it. Stop defending another Islamic dictatorship that uses terror as their primary policy.

      BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 by Razvan Serea BetterMediaInfo is a modern, open-source graphical user interface for MediaInfo, designed to improve metadata inspection workflows for audio and video files. It extracts and presents technical parameters such as codec profiles, bitrates, resolution, frame rate, stream ordering, and container-level attributes in a structured, readable layout. The interface is built with clarity and responsiveness in mind, supporting drag-and-drop functionality. It preserves the full feature set of the MediaInfo library while making the data easier to parse for users working in media management, encoding validation, or post-production environments. In short, BetterMediaInfo takes the power of MediaInfo and makes it much easier to use. Whether you're checking video quality, verifying audio settings, or just curious about a file's details, it gives you clear, organized info without the clutter. Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2, which is included in most Windows versions. BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 changelog: Added an Image stream table to the card view and detail view, including type, color space, resolution, and size fields. Added View settings to toggle Image stream tables in card view and detail view. Added BatchMkvMerge to the welcome page with localized descriptions and a GitHub link. Added a portable 7z archive to the Windows release artifacts. Improved first-run language selection by detecting the system language and saving it to configuration. Updated Italian translations.
