Verdict
Acasis 40Gbps USB4 eGPU Dock
5.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A capable budget USB4 eGPU dock for the price, but a newer brand without the certification pedigree of Sonnet or OWC.
GIGABYTE RX 580 Gaming Box
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A dated but genuinely plug-and-play option for 1080p eGPU gaming, now most sensible as a budget used-market pickup rather than a current recommendation.
