Q: What do the eGPU port acronyms like 32Gbps-TB3 mean and what are their ranked & measured peak H2D/write bandwidths?

@flexrocket, as a past Spectre 14 user that CPU looks dangerously low. Like half the performance you’re supposed to get. I’m glad you mention that it’s been a smooth experience for you, but if you ever need more CPU, get Throttlestop 9.5, go into TPL, click on Sync MMIO, and set the Power Limits you wants in terms of wattages accordingly. For games like Halo with my RTX 3070 I needed the full 30w the Spectre 14 can offer so that’s a good place to start off if you need maximum performance. That CPU Time Spy should be at 4100 at minimum.

@omegamalkior, Thanks for your comment, i already thought about time spy being very low in terms of CPU. I will try your solution today. Is there any other reason the CPU is so low. Is it a Hardware Problem like thermal paste?

@omegamalkior, i think about getting a 3070ti for this setup. Is it possible that there is a CPU Bottleneck?

Not sure, but repasting always helps the Spectre 14. Paste job from factory was pretty trash. And yeah, a 3070 Ti will definitely be bottlenecked a bit by the i7-1165G7 unless if you go 4K with higher settings where the refresh rate isn't that high
