AGA, RTX 3000, news about compatibility?

I think people said the AGA had great airflow no?

Wrong. A modded AGA has great airflow. The stock AGA, has a 92mm fan at the front, with nearly 60% of the fan being covered by unecessary plastic, more unecessary plastic, fan grill and LED logo. The AGA was by no means bad, it is what it was, a 200$ eGPU dock. But now it is trash because Dell doesn't want people to know the PSU they included inside of it was too cheap and weak, so they'd rather tell people "The RTX 3000 series isn't supported because we don't want to be liable for fires if using a stock PSU"

That is one opinion, but it's a biased one from an aggrieved owner.

There are some other issues to consider:

The launch of these 3000-series chips and the cards based on nVidia's reference design has not gone smoothly.  One has to wonder what last minute design changes nVidia made -- and may still be making -- play on the compatibility with the AGA.

Further, the AGA was designed and built long before these chips and the cards based on them were even in the final design stage.

Further still, these chips were released what many engineering experts think was insufficient testing.

Adding even more, there's a large number of parties involved.  Dell is just the seller - the AGAs were designed and manufactured by a contractor, and although nVidia designed the chips and probably provided input on the reference design for the cards, the manufacture of the chips and the cards is similarly contracted out.  There are any number of places in that long chain where things can (and demonstrably have) fallen apart.

There's no one party responsible here - and it may in fact be economically or engineering-wise, impossible to use one of these cards with the existing AGA hardware.

If Dell had promised the 3000 series support in the AGA, then yes - they'd be responsible.  They never did.

And given the statement in the sticky FAQ above, it's not going to happen.

And They're probably going to dump this model and make it cheaper for people who want to use the 2000 SERIES and TITAN RTX Cards while they make a new one that's white and supports all the new stuff.

I don't think you know how PCIE works. There are no bios, firmware or driver updates for a PCIE port. They just work. You know what the AGA is? It's literally just a PCIE to AW adapter lol. When do you ever buy a desktop and you go "dam, this new GPU came out, looks like I gotta buy a new motherboard to support this GPU". Or "looks like I gotta update this PCIE port to support this new GPU". It never happens. Maybe with PCIE5 it will, but atm its not a problem and that has nothing to do with Nvidia, it is Dell forcefully making GPUs incompatible.

The 3070s and below use less wattage than a 2080Ti. Any arguments about power is irrelevant due to Dell saying a 3070 and below is unsupported

Your opinions are noted, but they're missing  the whole picture.

And yes, there are plenty of times when new GPUs are released that require newer system boards to support.  Just ask anyone who's been stranded by an OEM system only to find out the manufacturer did not upgrade firmware to recognize the new video firmware on successor video chips.

It's far more complex an issue - and the devices are far more complex than your understanding leads you to believe. 

If it were easy, eGPU systems would be universally compatible instead of hit-or-miss in compatibility.  They're decidedly not.

Agreed.

imjust wondering when the new one will release.

If that were true, than any eGPU would work with any system. 

And they do not - not even those that connect through standard Thunderbolt ports.

The Razer Cores use a standard Thunderbolt port - not the proprietary AGA interface.  Beyond the hardware comes the issue of driver support.  They're different technologies - what applies to a Thunderbolt eGPU box is different than what applies to an AGA eGPU box.

And yes, there are plenty of reports of Razer Core X incompatibilities with various systems and cards.  Even these aren't universally compatible devices.
