ASUS released its new ROG XG Station 3 GPU dock with Thunderbolt 5, eight years after its last model. The new dock works with current RTX 40 cards and future RTX 50 and RX 9000 GPUs. Its Thunderbolt 5 link gives 80 Gb/s speed, helping laptops reach almost desktop gaming levels. Tests show the dock makes an RTX 4090 run much faster than laptop GPUs. Users can plug many USB devices into the dock with their graphics card.
The dock fits ASUS BTF graphics cards for a setup without messy power cables. ASUS made the power supply bigger, likely from 600W to about 800W for stronger cards. This extra power makes the dock ready for future GPUs that might need up to 600W. The company showed the new station at Computex with other new products. Laptop gamers can enjoy desktop gaming power without buying a whole new computer.
