eGPU

Short for external graphics processing unit, an eGPU is a type of graphics card meant to be used outside the computer case, expanding the built-in graphics processing capabilities. eGPUs are traditionally used with laptop computers to enhance the limited video performance capabilities that fit inside a portable and compact laptop. eGPU enclosures are connected to laptops using USB-type-C Thunderbolt 3 ports, or varying types of proprietary connections.
