Mixed reviews online but im wanting to add thunderbolt 3 external graphics to my Dell XPS13.

I already have the GPU from my desktop but i want to see what setups some of you have and recommendations.

egpu.io is a great resource.

Generally external GPU's running through Thunderbolt 3 lose about 10% performance relative to normal use, although the XPS laptops don't utilise 4 PCI-E lanes (while most other laptops with Thunderbolt 3 do), rather only using 2.
This could mean that you could take a further performance dive, not sure by how much though. Although If you are playing light games shouldn't matter too much anyway.
