- Maximum Number of Displays Supported: 3
- Advanced Graphics Rendering Technique(s): DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), Ray tracing (Imaging technology designed to improve graphics rendering.)
- GPU Video Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a GPU’s, or graphics cards, short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the GPU can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, larger amounts of RAM for gaming or video editing increases performance.)
- GPU Video Memory Type (RAM): GDDR6 (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- Slot Size: External GPU (A graphics card only requires one PCIe/PCI slot for connection to the motherboard but, depending on size, may block other slots. The slot size listed by the manufacturer is therefore not an exact measurement of the card's size but an indication of how much clearance will be available after it is installed.)
- Product Height: 30.48 millimeters (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 154.94 millimeters (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Length: 208.28 millimeters (The out of box length of the item. Length is measured as the longest dimension of the item.)
- Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (Often referred to as a graphics card, a graphics processing unit (GPU) is the electronic circuitry responsible for manipulating and processing computer graphics/images and accelerating video decoding. Ultimately, a powerful GPU will provide a boost for anything involving visuals, including games, graphic design, and video editing.)

Whats Included
- ROG GC31S XG Mobile GPU Dock
A: Yes, the GC31S-004 is supported on the ASUS ROG Flow X16, please ensure Windows, chipset and video drivers are up to date.
A: The XG Mobile 3080 performs similarly to a 3080 laptop with the ally. Tested it with 3D Mark and it gets just shy of 13000 in Time Spy.
A: You have probably answered your own question already, but yes, the dock is a legitimate gpu solution. It really increases the capability and performance of my laptop vs the internal 3050 card.
Q: I have a rog strix g531g is this compatible?
A: No, it only works with machines in the Flow range, which have a special port to support this dock. Which currently is the Flow X13, Flow Z13, and Flow X16.
Q: To anyone that has purchased this item…do you like it?
A: I love it. It allows my laptop to render 3D scenes that even my desktop can't due to the 16GB of VRAM. It's amazing.
Q: Can this work on the legion go
A: No, it has a proprietary connector, so it only works with ASUS products.
Q: Does this support HDMI2.1 VRR and Gsync?
A: I'm not sure about the HDMI 2 but it does support Gsync on the laptop screen. If your second monitor does have Gsync it might
A: Supply and demand in all truth. Performance is varied on title. However, most games prefer nividia hardware
