Verdict
GIGABYTE AORUS GTX 1070 Gaming Box
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A convenient plug-and-play eGPU for its era, but the fixed GTX 1070 is now well behind current GPU generations.
GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 2070 Gaming Box
6.5 / 10 Expert Rating
Solid Turing-era performance in a tidy fixed package, though the premium over a bare enclosure plus card was steep even at launch.
