ASUS also lists compatible Thunderbolt 3 systems and recommends checking that the host supports external graphics. [1]
What changes
The unit has HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for a directly connected display. ASUS cites gaming and applications that generate images or run language models locally. Performance depends on the application and system configuration. [1]
Context
ASUS had previously shown the XG Core at IBC in September. The November 6 announcement gives no price or retail date. [1]
What to check in practice
Before buying an external GPU, look up your exact host model and check whether its manufacturer documents eGPU support. Then compare a task you actually run, such as exporting the same project or playing at the same resolution. The card has 16 GB of memory. Performance also depends on the connection and the application. ASUS gave no Spanish price or sale date in the announcement cited here.
