Verdict

OWC Mercury Helios FX

7 / 10 Expert Rating

The Mac-optimized bare eGPU enclosure for Intel Mac and older Thunderbolt 3 systems.

PowerColor Gaming Station Mini Pro

5.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely compact eGPU box for mid-range cards, but its small chassis caps out well below flagship-GPU compatibility.
