No, the graphics card and PSU are sold separately. The Core X V2 includes the enclosure, a Thunderbolt 5 cable, and mounting screws.






I've been using the Razer Core X V2 with my MacBook Pro M4 (Thunderbolt 5) and an RTX 4080. The performance is incredible – I can now play AAA games at 4K ultra settings with raytracing on, something I could only dream of before. Setup was a breeze: just slide in the GPU, plug in the Thunderbolt cable, and it's ready. The 140W PD also charges my laptop at full speed, so I only need one cable to connect everything. The enclosure is solidly built and looks sleek next to my monitor. The only minor gripe is the fan noise under heavy load, but it's not too annoying. Highly recommended for anyone wanting desktop-level graphics on a laptop.
This thing works flawlessly with my Lenovo Legion 7i (Thunderbolt 4). I popped in an RTX 4070 Ti Super, and it boosted my gaming performance significantly. I'm getting 100+ fps in Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing, which is amazing. The tool-free installation is convenient, and the 140W PD is a lifesaver – keeps my laptop charged while gaming. The build quality is top-notch, sturdy and premium. Definitely worth the price if you want to extend your laptop's lifespan for gaming or creative work.
I bought this to use with my Dell XPS 15 (Thunderbolt 4) and an RTX 4060. Plug-and-play for the most part, but I had to update the Thunderbolt drivers on my laptop to get stable performance. Once I did, it worked great – I can now play games like Red Dead Redemption 2 at high settings with smooth FPS. The enclosure is spacious and easy to work with; installing the GPU took just a few minutes. The 140W PD is handy, though I noticed it only delivers 85W to the laptop unless you use a special cable? But the included cable works fine. My main complaint is that the fan is a bit loud when the GPU is under load, but it's not terrible. Overall, a solid eGPU enclosure.
I use this with my gaming laptop and an RTX 3080 Ti for VR sim racing. The Core X V2 handles it beautifully – no artifacts, smooth 90fps in Half-Life: Alyx. The 4-slot design allowed me to fit a chunky GPU with no issues. The 140W PD is great for keeping the laptop charged during long sessions. Setup was a straightforward process: attach the GPU, connect the cable, and it just works. The build quality feels premium, and it looks good on my desk. Definitely a worthy investment if you want to boost your laptop's graphics for demanding tasks.
I picked this up to use with my 14-inch MacBook Pro (M3, USB4) and an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. It works as expected – the GPU is recognized and performs well in games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1440p high settings. The installation was easy, but I had some issues with the enclosure not being recognized occasionally – a simple restart fixes it. The 140W PD is good, but I wish it provided a bit more for my MacBook Pro (it charges at about 80W). Also, the fan gets a bit loud under heavy gaming, but it's acceptable. Overall, a decent eGPU for the price.
I've tried other eGPU enclosures before, and this is by far the best. The Razer Core X V2 offers excellent compatibility – I use it with my HP Spectre x360 (Thunderbolt 4) and an RTX 4090. Yes, the RTX 4090 barely fits (it's a two-slot card, so no problem), but the 4-slot chassis means I have plenty of room for the massive card. Performance is outstanding – I can run Starfield at max settings with DLSS 3.5 and get smooth 60fps at 4K. The 140W PD is a welcome addition, though my laptop only pulls 100W max. Build quality is excellent, and the tool-free design makes swapping GPUs quick. Highly recommended for anyone serious about eGPU gaming.
As a long-time PC enthusiast, I've used several eGPU setups. The Razer Core X V2 is well-built and easy to use, but I've had some driver conflicts with my laptop (ASUS ROG Flow Z13). Sometimes the GPU is not recognized until I reinstall drivers. Performance is good once it works – I see a significant boost in frame rates compared to integrated graphics. The 140W PD is great for charging, but I expected a bit more from such a premium product in terms of plug-and-play. If you're okay with occasional troubleshooting, this is a good investment.
I've been using this with my Razer Blade 15 (Thunderbolt 4) and an RTX 4070. It does exactly what it's supposed to – provides desktop-level performance for gaming and creative work. The enclosure is well-designed with a sleek black finish, and the magnetic cover is secure. Installation is a snap (no tools needed). The 140W PD is useful, though I wish it had a higher wattage for larger laptops. Performance is great: I can run DaVinci Resolve 4K timelines smoothly and play games with high settings. My main gripe is the price – it's a bit expensive compared to other eGPU enclosures, but you're paying for the build quality and reliability. Still, I'd recommend it if you find it on sale.
I bought this eGPU to use with my Surface Laptop Studio (Thunderbolt 4) and a RTX 3060 Ti. It has transformed my laptop into a gaming beast. I'm now able to play Assassin's Creed Valhalla at ultra settings with 60fps, which is impossible without it. The 140W PD charges my Surface Laptop while I play, so no battery drain issues. The installation process took less than five minutes, and it works seamlessly with Windows. The fan is a bit noisy under load, but I just wear headphones. For anyone looking to extend the gaming life of their laptop, this is a fantastic purchase.
