/3/ - 3DCG

Hi /3/,

I am going to buy a new laptop for 3D with an Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU.

I was thinking to buy one with a RTX 2070 or RTX 2080 but the prices go crazy, you need to add 400$ for an 2070 RTX and close to 1000$ for the RTX 2080.

So, this idea came to my mind: "Buy an exrernal GPU!".

I was thinking to buy the Razer Core X + a desktop Nvidia RTX 2060 or 2070.

So now my questions are:

> Would my laptop use his own GPU + the external GPU if I do render by GPU

> Do the Razer Core X is a good choice?

> It is risky to buy an occasion desktop GPU?

> Would it also work on Linux (Manjaro or Mint for me) and Would I be able to use the two GPUs at the same time to render?


PS: Yes my new laptop would have USB-C

PPS: I will buy this machine: Dell G5 15 5590 - 15.6 inch FHD - 16 GB RAM - GPU RTX 2060 - CPU INTEL i7-8750H
