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.

PowerColor Gaming Station

6 / 10 Expert Rating

Competent Thunderbolt 3 box from a GPU maker, but discontinued and outpaced by newer standards.
