- masklinn 15y agoWould be very slow, considering a thunderbolt channel is roughly similar to 1x PCI-E v3. I would also expect greater latencies than on internal PCI-E. While it would probably be nice for GPGPU cases where not (if mot all) the working set stays on-board, that's far from the general usage case for GPUs right now. Even for multiple-screen it would not be that useful: DisplayPort 1.2 handles chaining, and where you have two Thunderbolt ports you have two DisplayPort ports.
