Working mobile?

thanks a lot Johannes +1 +1 +1 +1VPN :)

Hi Johannes Thanks for sharing your experience. I agree it's a good opportunity to be mobile, but external GPU still looks very heavy and big. At the end of your video you also showed that you can send render to your workstation. Have you ever tried network render, not in local network, but right through the internet? I hope soon we will be able to use 5g and it means that no more limitation to transfer big data from every place of the world. It also means that I can take my laptop with 2080 max Q and get fast render using GPU of my workstation at home. And this all without external GPU. What do you think about it? Again, thanks for your patreon

Love the video, and yes to the vpn set-up! If one doesn't have a big rendering computer at home, it's still possible to use a render farm that accepts Fstorm, for final renders. Mobile work will possibly go balistic when the Nvidia Ampere tech will come this year, imagine the same Razor 17 with an RTX3080 inside (less watts consumption than currently) and a 3080Ti in the big box next to it. Mind Blown !

Finally we can travel and work remotely like Digital Nomads too in the near future, thank you Johannes for your input here and sharing ;)

Thank you jojo, could you please do it in depth like a “for idiots” article? And include the 3ds max part too? Thank you

Thank you guys for the feedback. VPN article coming up.

Not a bad idea, I’ll do that :-)

I would love to see your VPN setup!!! Great content! 👍

+1 for the VPN - Article :)

Thank you so much for your answer, this review definitely convinced me to set up egpu!

Would have been nice to see the benchmark time on your previous rig(with 6 cards) so you get an idea on how fast your mobile setup is. I myself have a 7 cards setup and so I'm very curious to see the time difference with 2 geforce 20xx cards! :D

Grats !!! beautiful set up <3

Please. VPN video !

Ever since ive read tim ferriss i was wondering if mobile is possible for 3d designers. Probably my most favorite video so far and yes please share this mentioned article about the vpn connection. Thx Johannes

Would like if you share instructions for setting up OpenVPN!:)

I can certainly understand that issue. Cooling especially. As for eGPU enclosures, this is probably one of the heavier ones, there are those that only weigh half, and that's because this is made out of a steel case (or something). However this is also the reason to why the GPU is running relatively cool even at 100% load and low fan speeds: The steel case acts as a heat sink. So even though I would love an enclosure with half the weight, the extra kilos in this one is actually well justified. :)

Ive been trying to configure the smallest possible Backpack 16 core workstation for a while. About the size of your eGPU enclosure. Hitting a roadblock with regards to cooling performance naturally. The portability of a GPU enclosure and a laptop is the one reason im tempted to move to fstorm.
