This is what I have been looking into for a portable gaming setup. My framework setup already has so much raw power in terms of RAM and CPU. A solid GPU is the next step :-) Would do a GPU pass through setup with virtio/QEMU and a Linux host… if only eGPU setups weren’t so damned expensive! And that’s not even factoring in the sheer lack of availability of 30x series cards.

I have a custom built small form factor PC in a Dan Case A4 [0]. The case is a lot smaller than a Razer Core. And it's a whole PC, not just a GPU. Fits in a cabin bag or backpack and I have traveled with it. You can go even smaller at 3.9L in a Velka 3 [1], if you use a single fan graphics card. - [0] https://www.dan-cases.com/dana4.php https://www.dan-cases.com/dana4.php - [1] https://www.velkase.com/products/velka-3 https://www.velkase.com/products/velka-3

  The Dan Case is absolutely gorgeous. What hardware are you running in yours? I’d love to get a setup like this going with a 30x series card, but I’m not sure how difficult getting one at listing price is these days.

    No chance buying a GPU at listing price today. Buyer beware: for the Dan Case, it's only compatible with 2.25 slot (45mm) width cards at max. Most 3080s are 2.5 slot (50mm) wide. The EVGA 3080 XC3 Black is a notable exception, and is a very satisfying tight fit [0]. There's also a 3D printed GPU spacer to increase width of the case (sacrificing portability) [1].
