2018 14" Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen [8th,4C,U] + RTX 2070 @ 32Gbps-TB3 (Razer Core X) + Win10  

Hi folks,

This is my first eGPU setup.  New to this field, so definitely appreciate your comments.  

System specs

• 2018 Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 6
• HDR 2560x1440 screen
• Intel Core i7-8650U 
• 16GB ram
• Intel UHD Graphics 620
• 1TB Samsung SSD
• Windows 10 Pro

eGPU setup

• Razer Core X
• TB3 cable
• RTX 2070 (Asus Dual-RTX2070-O8G-EVO)

Monitor

• LG 34UC88 ultrawide (3440 x 1440 QHD)
• Connected via display port from Core X

Setting up:  honestly, this was the most pleasant part.  I did some basick reading on this website and others.  updated the thunderbolt firmware from Lenovo before connecting the eGPU.  Once the TB3 was plugged in, I was prompted to install Core X, followed by the GPU.  After downloading nvidia driver, everything was ready to go.

What do you all think about the benchmark for this setup?  I am totally new to this hobby so i wasn't sure what to expect.  Does the score seem reasonable for this setup?  I am planning on using this setup for research work (microscopy, 3D image rendering) , but play some games on the side.  Curious to hear your thoughts on this setup and it's performance.   

thank you!
