MINISFORUM DEG1 eGPU Dock, External GPU Docking Station for RTX 4090, AMD RX 7900 XTX, eGPU Enclosure Graphics Card Extension Support ATX/SFX Standard Power, Oculink Expansion Graphics Docking Station

It took all of five minutes, probably less, to get the power supply and the GPU plugged in, the cables, neatly tied and the oculink connecter plugged into the mini PC. I got a low profile dual 4070 super, a very quiet Corsair PSU with a manual dial adjust for the fan and you can’t even hear it. One of the reasons I returned the oneXGPU was because the tiny fans inside were far too loud. You could hear it three rooms over. The 4070 Super is a solid mid-tier card, and it out-performs the 7800 all day long. While the set up might be slightly larger for an EGPU than the ONEXGPU, the trade-off in quiet and AAA performance - not to mention the fact that it was half the price to put together - more than makes it brilliant. This dock is plug-and-Play. Highly recommend it if you’re doing an eGPU with oculink. And you can swap the GPU to upgrade anytime too. A+

I'm using this to connect an AMD R9700 AI Pro 32GB GPU to a linux workstation for local AI agentic coding. It is one of the cleanest ways to attach an external GPU and simple to setup. It has been working fantastic supporting agentic coding but you have to keep in mind that the oculink connection is only pcie x4 so you need to keep all of the model and context in the GPU VRAM so your not relying on the pcie bus during processing.

Using the Minisforum DEG-1 GPU dock with an Minisforum UM890 Pro (stock: 64GB DDR5, 1TB SSD), MSI 4070 Super 12G Gaming X Slim GPU, and a Corsair RM850x power supply. Very quiet setup. Very impressed with the performance for 1200p gaming. Non-gaming is noticeably snappier too. Setup was difficult, as the UM890 Pro required a CMOS reset several times in the process or it would hang and not boot, e.g. after moving HDMI cable to GPU. Works fine after that; the UM890 Pro BIOS must be doing some auto configuration that only works with one specific setup.

Works great, all plug and play. No issues running it with Nvidia RTX 5 series cards. Being open air card stays pretty cool and quiet. Might want to consider shorter aftermarket cables to keep it looking neat and tidy. Excellent value for the money.
