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.
RIITOP OCuLink eGPU Dock
4.5 / 10 Expert Rating
The cheapest way into OCuLink eGPU, but a bare-bones product from a lesser-known brand with no built-in PSU convenience.
