PCIe x8 dock for external GPU?

VictoryRice

The product photos for the GTi14 show some kind of dock for connecting the PCIe x8 expansion slot to an external GPU. Does Beelink sell this dock? I don’t see any reference to it in the store.

Hi there,

The docking station will be launched in about one more week.

I purchased the following dock “JMT ADT-UT3G USB4.0 Docking Station” and it works like a charm via thunderbolt port in the back of the gti14. You can see my review on Amazon US with photos. I do admit though it looks a bit messy.

This entire GPU dock thing is stupid beyond belief. I purchased a mini PC for a reason, if i wanted to deal with huge docking stations and a bunch of extra garbage i would just buy a full size PC with a GPU in it.

Hi there,
GPU docks can offer enhanced graphics capabilities for those who need it but still prefer the portability of a mini PC in some situations. It’s a trade-off that might not be suitable for everyone’s preferences and usage scenarios.

Hi, is it possible to use a high end GPU, say RTX4070 Super, plus fast storage in the m.2 slot, simultaneously? I guess they are both competing for the pcie bandwidth?

chrisG Hi there,

Yes, it works.

Thanks for the response, I was more wondering about the pcie lanes when storage and the GPU are used in the dock. Will there be bandwidth limits?

Hi there，

The docking station is PCIE16 slot, operating at PCIE8 speed.

support1 Hi there any future plans to release a mini PC with the AMD ai 9 hx 370 APU that has the same PCIe slot as the GTi14?

Is there any future plans to release a mini PC with the AMD ai 9 hx 370 APU that has the same PCIe slot as the GTi14?

Not sure why that came up xr time.

Rufnutz Hi there,

Currently we don’t have plan to change the function or feature for SER9 .
However, we will have more new arrivals in the coming months.

It’ll be great if there can be a version of GT(a?) 15 Ultra with AMD’s AI MAX 395 with soldered memory @ Quad Channel

entau We’ll see what we are going to have in the near future.

support1 Yes, whatever it is please continue to support the EX Dock. PCIe 4 ×8 lanes is more than sufficient for many GPUs.

So much better than Oculink or TB4

entau Yes,I agree.
