Verdict
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.
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.
