Verdict

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.

Razer Core X V2

7 / 10 Expert Rating

The best Thunderbolt 5 enclosure you can buy, held back by physics and a missing power supply.
