Asus ROG XG Station 2 features
The Asus ROG XG Station 2 features a 500W 80 Plus Gold power supply and two 6 + 2-pin PCI-Express connectors to power any high-end graphics card. We continue with a PCI Express 3.0 X16 interface to offer the necessary bandwidth so as not to throttle the performance of the card. The Asus ROG XG Station 2 connects to your laptop via a Thunderbolt 3 port + four USB 3.0 ports, thereby ensuring you get a bandwidth of 60 Gbps that should allow any card to run at full power.
Its characteristics continue with three 70 mm fans that are responsible for generating the air flow necessary to keep the temperature at bay, the bad thing is that they do not include a dust filter so we will have to do cleaning tasks quite regularly. There is also a LED lighting system that is responsible for giving a more attractive aesthetic.
Recall that we already began to see these types of solutions when AMD's XConnect technology was announced but that they have not been successful due to the extra cost they entail, Asus has not talked about prices but it is possible that your Asus ROG XG Station 2 costs 400-500 euros or more which makes it very expensive, more when you have to add the price of the graphics card.
