Razer's Core X V2 eGPU has blazing speeds, but no built-In power?
Why it matters: External GPUs (eGPUs) like Razer's latest could supercharge slim laptops and handhelds for AAA gaming or creative work, especially as Thunderbolt 5 ramps up bandwidth. But with fewer all-in-one features, it's a mixed bag for users craving simplicity. You need to buy more accessories for the Core X V2 encloser to make sense. The big idea: Razer is back in the eGPU game after a six-year hiatus, unveiling the Core X V2 enclosure alongside a new Thunderbolt 5 Dock. This steel beast promises desktop-grade graphics via Thunderbolt 5's blazing speeds, but it strips away built-in power and ports to keep things focused — and pricey at $350. Go deeper: Specs at a glance: Supports full-size PCIe Gen 4 GPUs, including beefy quad-slot cards like upcoming RTX 50-series. It delivers up to 140W USB PD charging and uses a 120mm fan for cooling. Thunderbolt 5 offers 120Gbps one-way bandwidth (80Gbps bidirectional), though eGPU bandwidth tops at 64Gbps — still a leap over Thunderbolt 4.

Thunderbolt 5 offers 120Gbps one-way bandwidth (80Gbps bidirectional), though eGPU bandwidth tops at 64Gbps — still a leap over Thunderbolt 4. What's changed: Unlike the older Core X Chroma (which we called the best eGPU buy at the time for its PSU and RGB flair), the V2 ditches the integrated 650W power supply, USB ports, Ethernet, and lighting. You'll need your own ATX PSU and the separate $390 Thunderbolt 5 Dock for extra I/O like HDMI or Ethernet.

Compatibility check: Works with Windows laptops or handhelds via Thunderbolt 4/5 — think high-end rigs like the Razer Blade 18. No macOS support, as Apple Silicon dropped eGPUs. Thunderbolt 5 devices are scarce now, but expect more soon. Works with Windows laptops or handhelds via Thunderbolt 4/5 — think high-end rigs like the Razer Blade 18. No macOS support, as Apple Silicon dropped eGPUs. Thunderbolt 5 devices are scarce now, but expect more soon. Pros and cons: Plug-and-play appeal for boosting performance on the go, but the modular approach means extra costs and hassle. At $350 (up from the original Core X's $299 launch), it's a premium pick for dedicated gamers. Recommended Videos What's next: Availability starts soon via Razer's site, with broader rollout expected. As Thunderbolt 5 laptops proliferate, eGPUs could make a comeback — watch for hands-on tests later from Digital Trends to see if the bandwidth truly transforms portable gaming or if it's just another gimmick.

5 things to know before building a gaming PC in 2025
Gaming's never been bigger, and 2025 is packed with titles pushing both visuals and hardware limits. But here's the thing, GTA V is still the most common benchmark. It's a 12-year-old game. Yes, it runs beautifully on almost anything, but that doesn't mean your setup is future-ready just because it handles GTA smoothly. A 9th-gen Intel chip or an old Ryzen 5 might get the job done today, but that's not a smart move if you're building now. The goal of this guide is simple: to steer you clear of outdated traps and help you build a rig that's ready for what's next. Avoid Intel's 8th, 9th, and 10th gen chips, and Ryzen 2000 or 3000 series. They lack modern instruction sets and can't handle PCIe Gen 4 or 5. Even if you see 'i7' or 'Ryzen 7' in a budget prebuilt, check the generation. That 'deal' could end up limiting your GPU and RAM. For 2025, stick to Intel 13th-gen or newer, or AMD Ryzen 7000 and above. A solid CPU needs the right chipset to perform. Skip outdated boards like Intel B460 or AMD B840. They bottleneck new GPUs and kill upgrade flexibility. Go for Intel B760 or Z790, or AMD B650 and up. Look for features like BIOS flashback, strong VRMs, and dual M.2 slots. This is not the part to cut corners. AAA titles like 'Ghost of Tsushima' or 'Black Myth: Wukong' in 2025 will crush anything below 12 GB VRAM. Cards like the RTX 460 or RX 7600 may run GTA V fine but will stutter with new releases. Many budget GPUs also run at x8 lanes, which on Gen 3 boards can mean a 10 percent drop in performance. Aim for 12 GB at a minimum. If you want headroom, go for 16 GB or more. DDR4 is on the way out. Most new CPUs and boards are built for DDR5, and staying on DDR4 just limits your future upgrades. For gaming, 32 GB DDR5 @5600MHz or higher is ideal. RAM is cheaper now, so go for it. Use a Gen 4 or 5 NVMe SSD for your boot drive. SATA SSDs are for backups now. Pick a reliable PSU with 80+ Gold efficiency, and size it based on your GPU. A 4090 needs at least 850W. Finally, get a case with good airflow, modern ports, and space for big GPUs. Once your PC is ready, don't pair it with a VGA-era display. Your monitor is where all that power comes to life. Avoid TN panels—they're cheap, but offer poor colour and viewing angles. Go for IPS or OLED if you care about clarity, contrast, and accurate visuals. Also, skip any display that still runs on VGA or doesn't support at least 75Hz refresh. For modern gaming, 1080p at 144Hz is a great entry point. As for peripherals, don't cheap out on the basics. A responsive mouse with a reliable sensor and a mechanical or good membrane keyboard can massively improve gameplay and typing comfort. You're building for the future, let every piece of the setup feel like it belongs there.
