CONNECT A HIGH-PERFORMANCE GPU CARD OR OTHER BANDWIDTH-HUNGRY PCIE CARD TO A THUNDERBOLT™ 3 EQUIPPED COMPUTER
Sonnet’s eGFX Breakaway Box Thunderbolt 3 to eGPU PCIe card expansion systems are designed specifically to accommodate large and power-hungry GPU cards. Functioning as a simple plug-in upgrade a Breakaway Box boosts the graphics performance of an eGFX-compatible computer by connecting a high-performance desktop GPU card via a Thunderbolt 3 port. With four models to choose from the Breakaway Box line supports all Thunderbolt-compatible cards(1) with popular GPU chipsets—such as AMD Radeon™ R9 and RX series including VEGA 64 and Frontier Edition; and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 9 and 10 series and TITAN X Xp and V. Even the latest pro cards—AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 WX 7100 WX 9100 and SSG; and NVIDIA Quadro® GP100 P4000 P5000 and P6000—are supported! Alternatively if you are need a cost-effective Thunderbolt expansion system for a Thunderbolt-compatible non-GPU PCIe card the Breakaway Box offers all the space and power you could possibly need at an affordable price.

GRAPHIC INTENSIVE GAMING
There’s no need for you to carry a heavy and expensive gaming laptop to have a great gaming experience—just plug in a Breakaway Box and add the GPU power you want when you need it! By delivering significantly higher frame rates for smooth game play the Breakaway Box is ideal for enabling graphic-intensive gaming on Ultrabook™ and other thin/light notebook computers that otherwise would deliver a poor gaming experience. When used with an eGFX-compatible computer accelerated graphics can either be displayed on your notebook’s own display panel or on multiple external monitors. And unlike with gaming laptops when the next generation of GPUs ships and you are ready for another performance boost simply upgrade the GPU card in the Box—nobody should have to replace their computer just to keep up with the latest in GPU technology.

READY FOR WORK
From editing to rendering to color grading and from animation to special effects many applications rely on GPU cards to do the heavy lifting. With a GPU card installed the Breakaway Box can accelerate your video production workflow. In addition to GPU cards the Breakaway Box supports every other Thunderbolt-compatible PCIe card up to full-length full-height double-width. Its single x16 PCIe 3.0 slot easily accommodates full-length cards such as the Avid® Pro ToolsHDX(4) or RED® ROCKET-X. The Breakaway Box’s single-port 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface ensures the full 2750 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth(2) is dedicated to the installed card.

COOLEST & QUIETEST EGFX GRAPHICS CARD BOX ON THE MARKET
The Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box is the coolest and quietest eGFX box on the market—with its large variable-speed temperature-controlled fan that quietly and effectively cools the installed card the Breakaway Box can be comfortably used in noise-sensitive working environments.

LIQUID COOLERS SUPPORTED
The eGFX Breakaway Box supports 120mm x 1 single-fan radiators. Water block coolers run quieter than active fans plus water block coolers enable higher overclocking.

FOR MEDIA PROFESSIONALS
In today’s pro audio and video production use of audio I/O and DSP cards (such as the Avid Pro ToolsHDX) and video I/O and transcoding cards (such as the or RED ROCKET-X) is essential to keeping up with recording sessions as well as on-set and post-production timelines. The eGFX Breakaway Box is ideal for supporting the acceleration of these workflows.
