But Blackmagic prioritized quietness above all else.Īnd as was the case with the slower model last year, Blackmagic has succeeded on that front, and that's really what you're paying for. There are actually smaller eGPU enclosures on the market. Despite these efforts to lower its footprint, the overall volume is a little bulkier than we'd like. The Pro's design can definitely be described as minimalist, but it's at the same time just a touch too flashy for my tastes. Its obelisk-like design is unusual folks passing by your desk might have to venture a few guesses before figuring out precisely what it is. The Blackmagic eGPU Pro attempts to minimize its footprint on your desk by being tall. It's just the GPU inside that's different.

As far as we can tell, the chassis is the same.

There's not much new to add here on top of what we said about the Blackmagic eGPU last August.
