No

External Graphics Card (eGPU)

A graphics card that has its own box with its own power supply and cooling.

Usually intended for use with laptops, offering the highest performance of a desktop graphics card.
LHR
No

LHR

The LHR (Lite Hash Rate) technology was introduced by NVIDIA to limit the performance of graphics cards in cryptocurrency mining. The goal was to make the cards less attractive to miners, in order to increase availability and reduce prices for gamers. It is important to note that this limitation only affects mining and does not impact the card’s performance in games or graphic applications at all.

    Silent and multifunctional. If you don't need to play heavy games, it's good value for money.

    I am from Greece so this card is at around 120€ and has similar or better performance than the gtx 1650 and Rx 6400 in some titles. Easily runs every game at 1080p with low-medium to high-ultra settings depending on the game. The only bad thing is that you need an intel cpu that’s 10th gen or newer so you can enable ReBar to squeeze the full performance out of the graphics card. Also keep in mind that it doesn’t get too hot. Mostly at around 60-70 degrees. My favourite thing is that it does not require any pin connectors so it’s pretty power efficient and it saved me because I didn’t have any pci-e connectors laying around! I’m happy with it and I expect it to get much stronger with driver updates in the future!
