Thunderbolt Bridge: Laptops running wild with GTX 780 Ti
|
Laptop graphics cards have always been weak, and external independent graphics cards seem to be a good idea. Many manufacturers have tried, but due to various restrictions, especially the lack of unified standards, they have been short-lived. Intel proposed the Thunderbolt high-speed interface in 2011, and the bandwidth has doubled all the way, from the initial 10Gbps to the second-generation 20Gbps, and will be upgraded to 40Gbps next year. In addition, it is essentially a fusion of PCI-E and DisplayPort. It seems natural to connect independent graphics cards to laptops through it. In fact, MSI and SilverStone have also demonstrated such solutions, but unfortunately they cannot solve the performance and hot-swap problems and have not become retail products. Even worse is the system and driver support, especially since most Thunderbolt devices currently come from the Apple camp, and Apple has very strict driver restrictions. Since manufacturers can't do it, let's DIY! Squinks from the Tech Inferno forum conducted a bold experiment and successfully connected a powerful GeForce GTX 780 Ti to a MacBook Pro laptop with the help of a Sonnet Echo Express III-D case and a Corsair RM450 power supply. The channel was Thunderbolt 2. As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity. |
