Dell G3 3579 External GPU Setup

I'm looking to add an external GPU to my Dell G3 3579 laptop. Does anyone know of any that are compatible?

Your system must have a Thunderbolt port in order to use an external GPU -- and these were available with one as optional.  

If you have a Thunderbolt port, you will need to search to see which eGPUs have worked -- and bear in mind the biggest issue will be finding a GPU card to use (they're in short supply and prices are high at the moment).  You will also want an external monitor -- using one with the internal screen will dramatically reduce the performance of the external GPU.

Balance the drawbacks (or no-go) against the cost of buying a  desktop system that can run the GPU at full speed.
