GIGABYTE AORUS GTX 1070 Gaming Box Review

Gigabyte AORUS GTX 1070 Gaming Box, pre-installed GeForce GTX 1070, Thunderbolt 3 eGPU, compact plug-and-play

One of the earliest 'complete package' eGPUs, the AORUS GTX 1070 Gaming Box comes with a full GeForce GTX 1070 already installed and cooled inside its own compact chassis, making it a plug-and-play alternative to buying an empty box plus a separate card.

Overview

Rather than a bare PCIe slot, the GTX 1070 Gaming Box bundles a factory GTX 1070 card, a matched internal power supply, USB-C laptop charging, and a compact vented chassis into one SKU.

Comparison to Alternatives

It's the direct predecessor of the AORUS RTX 2070, RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090 Gaming Boxes in the same catalog, and competes with GPD's later all-in-one G1 dock. Unlike a Razer Core X or Mantiz Venus, buyers can't swap in their own GPU later, the card is fixed.

Our verdict

Expert rating6 / 10

A convenient plug-and-play eGPU for its era, but the fixed GTX 1070 is now well behind current GPU generations.

Best for
