Max Tech just released their video comparison
What do you think? In the UK the eGPU + 5700 XT works out more expensive than the 5600M upgrade. I’m still thinking the eGPU might work out better though for a couple of reasons:
1) The eGPU won’t make the MBP 16 sound like a vacuum cleaner whilst gaming.
2) The GPU in the eGPU enclosure will be replaceable, so in a few years when the processor and RAM are still good but the GPU isn’t cutting it, you can upgrade the eGPU and keep the laptop going for another couple of years. Whereas you’d be stuck with the 5600M.
Can anyone sense check this logic for me please?
