Can we finally put an end to this meme?

>>58764550
Sure, we can put an end to the meme if you show me another laptop that runs MacOS, since MacOS is the best OS if you're an adult who has a job and need to use industry standard software

Hush, child. Remember when Apple's iPad had a majority of marketshare, and that PROVED that it was better? That does not apply to iMacOsX! Having 5% marketshare PROVES that iMacOsX is better!

>>58764706
Because the vast majority of people don't need to run industry standard software, they need a cheap laptop to watch Netflix and browse Facebook on

What's that cradle holding the GPUs? What kind of lag would you see for their signal vs embedded motherboard ones? Are there also external processors?

>>58766453
>What's that cradle holding the GPUs?
PCIe expansion box.

>What kind of lag would you see for their signal vs embedded motherboard ones?
Not a lot, Thunderbolt (the cable connector) is basically just tunneling basic PCIe, so the only additional delay is coming from a slightly longer PCIe path (I'm guessing in the ballpark of a couple hundred nanoseconds tops).

>>58764513
Nope, the price is fucking wrong man

>>58764513
>1x PCI bus
>whereas graphics cards normally run at 16x

>also bottlenecked by laptop's CPU + thermal capabilities

tell me again why this is a good idea?

>>58766503
>>1x PCI bus
Thunderbolt connector is x4, and he's also using both. Can't tell if it's the same box, in which case it would be x8.

>>cards normally run at 16x
Doesn't matter unless you transfer a lot of data back and forth from the card, something you normally don't when playing games (drawing pixels on screen is onboard memory+compute intensive, not host memory bound)

>>also bottlenecked by laptop's CPU + thermal capabilities
My mid-2014 MBP has a i7-4870HQ, how is that a bad CPU ? As for thermal capabilities, it's the freaking GPUs that generate the most heat.

>>58766562
I stand corrected, then. Additionally, I suppose if you're using an external monitor the GPU won't have to do a lot of flinging pixels back and forth via that PCI bus.

That being said, the drop from x16 to x8 and to x4 is significant. But I feel like that should be verified empirically in application, not simply dismissed on sight.

>>58766637
>I suppose if you're using an external monitor the GPU won't have to do a lot of flinging pixels back and forth via that PCI bus.
Of course, you need to plug the monitor into one of those external cards, otherwise such a setup doesn't make a lot of sense (unless it's for raw computational power).

>That being said, the drop from x16 to x8 and to x4 is significant
Again, it depends on the use case. Unless you're doing something that requires either vast amounts of memory (as in, more memory than what you can fit on the GPU) or you're simply processing on the GPU and transfer data back and forth (for example encoding raw video frames and offloading it to the GPU) you'd notice the bus reduction. Just for drawing pixels on the screen you usually don't saturize the bus enough to gain from full x16 bandwidth. But I may be mistaken, modern GPUs do a lot of funky shit.

>>58764513
you are wrong
https://youtu.be/I_CuRLeAEdE

>>58764513
Let me educate you on computers a little.
A GPU can have - techpowerup com/forums/threads/article-just-how-important-is-gpu-memory-bandwidth.209053/ - GBps data throughput.
Games require: 2000 MBps
Firewire connector: 100MBps
USB 3 connector: 120MBps
You get me right?
Thats why we don't use USB protocol to connect our GPUs. Cuz only a macfag could do it.

>>58766865
That's not USB you retard. That's thunderbolt which is x4 pcie

>>58766865
> has MAC, uses Microsoft mouse
You might be just brandfag, not macfag.

>>58766873
TB 3 is ~5GB/s MAXIMUN transfer rate

PCI-express x16 connection is 16GB/s

let that sink in

This is ignoring the MASSIVE latency issues you will experience because of the distance from the cpu to the external gpu AND the crippling effects of a 800MHz dual-core processor.

xps 13 doesn't have the same severe overheating issues, has kaby lake processors, better battery life, and a non-homosexual OS.

I have one after I bought a shitbook air and don't regret it one bit.

>>58764513
Because windows has barely any thunderbolt support.
And because the fact that unless your GPU enclosure nullifies the sound of the GPU and PSU fans you're basically surrendering the only thing you gain on a laptop which is noise.
