May I ask why you would be looking to spend over $1k, if not over $2k on this kind of set up?

:nkCool:

Why do you need to know? Can't they just do what they want?

Anyways, I forwarded this topic to a guy who's used external GPU's on many devices like the GPD's and just recently got a deck, so hopefully he'll have something to say.

There has been success on using the m2 slot for this purpose.

lmao, i haven't tried it on deck yet & i sold my Razer Core V2 a while back cuz egpus are finicky af in general. On some bad days, it just doesn't work well properly.

Not sure if this issue happens with SteamOS but I was looking into it earlier today and valve "apparently" recently added support for egpus.

I reckon Nivida GPU like 3060 would be best price to performance usage if you're playing it off 1440p monitor for example. Anything stronger then 3060, you will start to see Steam deck not giving enough juice to utilise the whole GPU. Example CPU or bandwidth from M.2 slot being too slow.

Stick to Nivida card to avoid driver conflicts with APU drivers (Again, check this if you're using Steam OS for your egpu)

Good luck if you wanta go down re purposing your SSD m2 slot for EGPU

Apparently, since that video was made, you may be able to get Bazzite to work instead of Windows.
