Sapphire GearBox Thunderbolt 3 is a compact external GPU enclosure that adds discrete graphics, Ethernet, and USB 3.0 via Thunderbolt 3.
Critics' Consensus
“The Sapphire GearBox Thunderbolt 3 enclosure offers a convenient and reasonably priced solution for adding discrete graphics, Ethernet, and USB 3.0 to compact systems. However, the Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth limitation causes a noticeable performance drop compared to native PCIe, and minor design quirks like the always-on blue light bar detract from the experience.”
