Hi All,
I've just splashed out on a fully loaded Macbook Pro having wrestled with trying to get by with a Lenovo Thinkpad for a few months. It occurs to me that most games haven't been CPU bound for quite some time, and if I were to get an eGPU enclosure I could have the best of both worlds - a reasonably powerful laptop which I could plug in for some gaming when I get some free time.

Has anyone actually got a setup like this? It seems if you drop a 1080Ti or something else not quite so powerful, you can drive some really big frame rates, but I'd really like to see it in practice before I splash the cash so to speak.

The external enclosure I'm considering is the Mantiz Venus as that would allow me to drop in a SSD too, and potentially add a couple of USB devices for quite a bit of extra horse power.

Anyone done similar?
