- With up to 600W Power Draw the ROG XG mobile is quick but power-hungry
- Creative professionals are taken into account –Unless they’re on Mac
- ASUS TRIMMER 18.2% DISCOUNT ON THE SIZE OF THIS DECRIPTION CLASS Power Center
Asus has introduced its latest external GPU, ROG XG Mobile, equipped with either an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 TI or High-End RTX 5090.
Per Videocardz has the RTX 5090 model 10.492 CUDA -Kerner and 24 GB GDDR7 memory, making it one of the most powerful EGPU solutions available.
This device also has an updated design with a new hinge mechanism and a built-in tripod, reducing its size by 18.2%, while maintaining a compact, portable appearance-there is a high-performance heater-under 1 kg.
A Creative Power Center – Unless you use a Mac
ROG XG Mobile comes with Thunderbolt 5 -connection supporting rates of up to 80 Gbps. However, it remains backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and USB4.
In addition, it acts as an expansion laptop station that offers multiple connectivity options, including USB Type-A ports, an SD card reader, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1 and a 5G Ethernet port capable of speeds up to 5000 Mbps.
Cooling is a major focus for the new ROG XG Mobile; Asus has integrated a steam chamber and dust filter, which increases the cooling surface by 54% compared to previous models.
Its redesigned back ventilation openings contribute to quieter operation, reducing noise levels by 3DB. The unit also includes an integrated 350W power supply, but with the RTX 5090’s high power requirements, the total system consumption can reach up to 600W under load.
ASUS has priced the RTX 5070 TI version for $ 1,999, with the device set to launch on February 25, coincident with NVIDIA’s official pre-orders for the RTX 50 Series laptop GPUs. While the price of the RTX 5090 model has not been confirmed, it is expected to be significantly higher.
This EGPU is a compelling option for professionals using business laptops who need advanced GPU power in a portable setup. For Mac users, however, the news is not so promising. Apple Silicon Chips, from M1 to the latest M4, do not support EGPUs, leaving many creative without an external GPU setting.
