I’d like to put together an eGPU for my surface pro. It seems like you just buy the chassis and add a GPU. Is this true? Can you use any GPU?

    I have a Surface Laptop 6 and a Razer eGPU enclosure with a Radeon 6600 XT in it and it works fine. The manufacturer will list what sorts of GPUs are compatible, assuming you get a brand name one and not some cheap no-name Amazon job.

    Honestly if you have the money, go for a PC. The mobile CPU in laptops/tablets will your biggest bottleneck. Get a decent CPU, motherboard and PSU and the best GPU you can afford and it’ll probably out perform the Surface.
