Four stars...your milage may vary.

Connecting to a 2018 13" MBP and a Samsung 4K TV over HDMI. Set up is very easy. Not had too long to tweak the display settings but it scales well. (Not quit Connecting to a 2018 13" MBP and a Samsung 4K TV over HDMI. Set up is very easy. Not had too long to tweak the display settings but it scales well. (Not quite as good as Win 10 but that was after a lot of messing around. I'm sure with more time I'll have it spot on.) The thing is silent. At first I thought it was noisy but I then realised that was another device...turned that off and there wasn't even a whisper from the eGPU. It's Space Gray but not an exact match. It's close enough but doesn't look identical. Games aren't great. Tried Left 4 Dead on max settings at 1920 x 1080 and it still occasionally dipped below 60FPS. More modern games or higher res are probably not options but a bit of light gaming to take a break is possible. If you're not aiming for high spec gaming though this functions brilliantly as a light gaming machine, a charger to power my MBP, a hub to connect up my external drives for data and media on the TV and allow a full size keyboard and mouse for when working at home. It does exactly what I want it to do without additional devices and allows some gaming. For all of that it's a reasonable price.

I had tried the Belkin unit and several others, but none provided all the functionality I was after. That was until I tried the Blackmagic eGPU. The improvement in graphics performance was significant - better than I expected. What surprised me is the connectivity and, therefore, value for money of the unit. It really is the only dock I use and it affords video, photos and games vast performance improvements. Highly recommended.

How many full hd screens suports? I want to connect 4 fhd dell monitors with hdmi or minidisplay ports.

Asked by Andrew P from Thessaloniki

on 12-Jul-2018

Answer

You can connect two 4K displays to a Thunderbolt 3 port and a 4K display to the HDMI 2.0 port. T You can connect two 4K displays to a Thunderbolt 3 port and a 4K display to the HDMI 2.0 port. Two displays connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port requires one of the following (simplest first): 1) A Thunderbolt 3 to Dual DisplayPort adapter. 2) A Thunderbolt 3 device with two Thunderbolt 3 ports and a DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0 port. Connect a USB-C to DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0 adapter to a Thunderbolt 3 port. 3) Two Thunderbolt 3 devices, each with a DisplayPort. One with a 2nd Thunderbolt 3 port to connect the second Thunderbolt 3 device. If this eGPU was supported in Windows (it is not; it is difficult to get it working in Windows) or if macOS supported MST (macOS does not support MST) then you could connect six 1920x1080 displays using two MST hubs connected to the Thunderbolt 3 port.
