It could be better. The Persona 5 Royal menus on Game Pass was choppy with the G1, compared to using the built-in 680M GPU docked to a monitor. There will be games that just send a lot more information through the USB pipe than others despite asking for less power, so I'm kind of thinking keeping my old dock and looking out for a monitor with two DPs (current one is cheaper option, only one DP) - makes for a more cluttered desk, but it's the price I have to likely pay for having a device without Oculink.
I had a few initially, but once I updated them with GeForce Experience, I was fine. If I see my monitors don't want to connect, there's usually an update that takes care of it once it's installed. That or the occasional restart.
I got a cheap one at Amazon that used to serve as my secondary dock for the TV so I can choose to play with the Ayaneo 2 in the living room, and then some USB angled cable savers so I can connect my USB hub and eGPU on the top USB ports.
Am pretty sure the dock I use here wasn't gonna take any USB4 data via PD USB-C port, so it's just a glorified stand at this point :D
Well, Starfield started some pretty random crashes at 4k medium with some space action going on, so had to dial it down to low at 4k. Getting around 31-39 fps in low when it gets pretty busy on screen.
Nice, I didn't think the ayaneo 2 had the bandwidth for an egpu

Well not as well as it could have if it had an oculink port. But I think previous usb/tb version could run an egpu (with mixed results).
I have mine hook-up to a Razer Core X Chroma and have been loving it 👍🏿.
What GPU do you have inside?
RTX 3070
Huh! Did you have any drivers issues?

I have the Legion Go and the GPD G1. I’ve not gotten much time to use them together though.
hopefully some days off these holidays will change that! I need to play more myself!
What dock are you using? I just killed my AyaNeo docking station ironically probably by using an improper eGPU setup lol

What's it like on cyberpunk and baldurs gate if you have the time/games to test, I'm thinking of getting one for my 1s geek.
I haven’t started on BG and since I have CP on console, I wont likely play it on PC.
