Which USB-C cable (with eGPU)?
I’ve the Legion GO since weeks; I’ve ordered a OneXGPU (an external eGPU); I’ve seen that if linked with Oculus cable will be the best, since with USB-C there’s a performance loss (but the Legion GO doesn’t have the Oculus option available).
So… there are some USB-C cable that are better than others? Or maybe USB-C/Thunderbolt ones? To minimise the performance difference.
Thanks in advance.
It will come with the perfect usbc cable to use already. I have one and the cable they include is ideal.
Are you talking about the OneXGPU or the Legion GO?
As someone else Mentioned the egpu probably comes with one in most cases. However, it does have to be usb thunderbolt 3 or 4. Any old usb C cable even “usb 3” or 3.1 or 3.2 won’t work. “Thunderbolt” is necessary!
I tried using a USB C cable that I used for VR plugged into pc, but it didn’t even turn on the EGPU.
Just an fyi :)
But I think there will be some differences if the cable is TB3 or TB4, in performance. Or does suffice TB3 cable to overcome bottlenecks?
If you need something longer Anker 6.6 ft usb 4 works: Anker Thunderbolt 4 Certified... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDH4FGZY
Mine came with a tb3 cable. Worked flawless, I just didn't like how short it was. So I bought a 3' tb4 cable to future proof a touch (reuse for the Lenovo go2 and my next egpu).
I just bought it for the length tho, could have been a tb3 and 3' and I'd have been happy enough.
No differences at all from TB3 to TB4? In performance, I mean.
Usb4
High quality Thunderbolt 4 cable.
I’m in Italy (EU). Which one that is not only for the U.S? A lot of brands are not selling here.
