hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus tonight here at CES 2015 we're at intel's booth right now what we're looking at is an external graphics card enclosure similar to the msi gs-13 except a bit different in that it is using a proprietary connector that goes straight into alienware laptops this is available on all of alien or laptops but you will not be using it on other laptops that don't use this proprietary form factor it is a pci express box but it does not use by 16 so you're not getting the full bandwidth potential that's okay because we're limited anyway and in your point I can use it with most modern video cards so this opens up in the front it looks like we've got either 92 millimeter or 80 millimeter fan for the cooling it pushes the air through cools it's sort of like a wind tunnel and hosts the video card fits full length video cards 11 inches no problem and it's got a power supply that's four hundred and sixty watts so you can power pretty much any video card on the market right now including it overclocking and definitely no problem with that so this is called the graphics amplifier it is by alienware it uses a proprietary interface available for 299 300 dollars for just the box and then with the laptop it's it's a bit more expensive obviously so the box is able to pipe the graphics back to the laptop so for your video card you can actually output to the display natively on the laptop you don't need the monitor as displayed here though obviously if you're going through this effort then why not so again that's the illinois graphics amplifier check the link in the description below for MSI's GS 30 which is similar and we'll see you all next time you
