Hi,
This is my first post here at egpu.io, and i thank all members for sharing information and inspiration for my build.
I just got my new Dell XPS 15 9500(i9 with GTX 1650 TI(disabled)) and just had to try a benchmark of the system 
I got a pretty good score in 3D mark Time Spy, but somehow it complains about my driver not being validated although it´s Nvidia Official drivers.
Unigine Valley 1.0:
All benchmarks ran at 4k resolution on external Monitor.
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
.just ran 4k optimized superposition bench:

Very nice setup for working / gaming at 4K.
Great to see how well the 9500 is performing with the 10th-gen i9 processor and 2070 Super eGPU.

@jimmy_v, Images are broken..
@mr.ribeiro Im at work now, and images work fine here as well as on my phone and home computer, but i´ll write the numbers here as well:
Result with external monitor @ Timespy 1.0:
8903 Points, although with a driver complaint(even though it is Nvidia Official drivers)
Result with external monitor @ Valley 1.0, Ultra , 2xAA, 4K
2199 points with min 27.2 and max 90.7 FPS.
Result with external monitor @ Superposition 4k res and 4k Optimized:
7710 points with min 49, Max 69 and avg. 57 FPS.
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.

This looks really promising
I just got a XPS 15 9500 (i7, GTX 1650 Ti, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, UHD+ Touch) and I'm considering the Core X Chroma and either a 2070 Super or a 3060/3070.
How's your experience been so far?
Does the Core X provide enough juice for the XPS 15? (100W vs 130W)
Any issues when connecting/disconnecting or rebooting?
Do you use a separate USB hub for peripherals like mouse, keyboard, speakers, webcam, ethernet, etc? Which hub?
Did you consider the Core X Chroma? It's tempting with the built-in hub...
Cheers!
