Review on πŸ–₯️ Mac-compatible Sonnet Breakaway Puck Radeon RX 5500 XT eGPU by Scott Snyder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Shuts down under heavy load

I bought a puck hoping to replace my gigabyte aorus gaming with gtx 1060 egpu. Although the puck is physically smaller than the Aorus Gaming Box, the puck's massive power supply negates the portability benefits. Unfortunately, Puck also crashed several times under heavy graphic load on 3 different computers. Whenever it turns off, you have to physically remove power to reset it. Never had problems like this with the Aorus gaming console. I don't have time to fix Puck so I'm sending it back. Instead, I'll wait for GPU prices to return to normal so I can easily replace the underperforming GTX 1060 I currently own.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Short manual
