New external graphics card for mobile devices
GIGABYTE has announced the release of the AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI BOX external graphics station, designed to boost the capabilities of ultraportable laptops and other compact computers. The device significantly enhances performance when working at a stationary desk while maintaining the mobility of the main device. In addition to laptops, the new product is also compatible with mini-PCs and some portable consoles.
A solution for professionals and students
External graphics modules (eGPUs) are becoming increasingly popular among users who require high computing power only in certain situations. For example, a student might use a lightweight laptop on the go and connect an eGPU at home for graphic design or gaming. Likewise, professionals working with graphics or 3D modeling can use compact devices without sacrificing performance in the office.
Technical specifications and features
The AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI BOX is powered by the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti graphics card. According to the manufacturer, the external unit’s performance is only 5% lower than the desktop version, which is virtually unnoticeable for most tasks. This allows the device to be used for modern gaming, 3D graphics work, and AI-related applications.
Special attention has been given to connectivity interfaces. The model is equipped with Thunderbolt 5 and USB4 ports, ensuring high data transfer speeds and minimal latency. Ethernet ports are also available for wired network connections, as well as a Power Delivery (PD 3.0) port for fast charging of compatible devices.
Cooling system and design
To maintain stable performance and low noise levels, the proprietary WINDFORCE cooling system with two fans is used. This solution effectively dissipates heat even during prolonged loads. The case features a vertical design, saving workspace. The device’s appearance is enhanced with LED lighting, giving it a modern and attractive look.
Market positioning and outlook
GIGABYTE already has experience releasing external graphics stations, but the new model offers a more balanced ratio of price and features. If the price is affordable, the AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI BOX could become a popular choice for users who value mobility and high performance. The device is expected to become available on the international market soon. The exact price has not yet been announced.
