eGPU without Thunderbolt? (lemmy.world)

Original question by @forestry@lemmy.ml

I am building an AMD Ryzen PC, and want eGPUs. Thunderbolt is extremely limited, but I've recently seen OCuLink. For example, AOOSTAR AG02 supports USB4 and OCuLink.

The AOOSTAR AG02 is more expensive than some Thunderbolt options, so I'm looking around. What options do I have for non-Thunderbolt eGPU?

Ubuntu maker Canonical in cooperation with Intel is preparing to disable these security mitigations in the Ubuntu packages in order to recoup this lost performance. [...]
