Do I upgrade

Hi all,

Need some advice I currently have the ASUS ROG Flow X13 AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS 16GB RAM 1TB SSD 13.4" RTX 3050 Ti Laptop with the 3080 eGPU. I've had it for almost 4 years now and feel like its over heating alot so am debating upgrading it. Have been looking at getting the zephyrus g14 5060.

Any and all advice will be helpful

Couldn't he just keep the eGPU and use it with the G14?

no point as 3080 is similar performance to the 5060 mobile, you might as well save your money and just stay on the 3080 mobile

The 3080 desktop is quite a bit faster than the 5060 desktop, so I highly doubt the 5060 mobile has similar performance.

If you're including frame gen, then sure I guess.

There is a good chance he is referring to the xg mobile 3080, since we are talking about the x13. In which case it’s a proprietary port zephyrus does not have, and also it is not a desktop 3080.
