Verdict

AOOSTAR AG02

7 / 10 Expert Rating

The fastest eGPU link you can buy for under $200, with a power button that does not work.

GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 3090 Gaming Box

7 / 10 Expert Rating

Flagship Ampere performance in a quiet liquid-cooled eGPU shell, but priced closer to a full gaming PC than an enclosure.
