Verdict
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.
Razer Core
5.5 / 10 Expert Rating
Historically important as one of the first Thunderbolt 3 eGPU boxes, but long superseded by the quieter, more compatible Core V2 and Core X.
