Sonnet Technologies said it began shipping its eGFX Breakaway Box, including a 350-watt power supply, for connecting compatible PCIe cards to workstations over Thunderbolt.
The eGFX Breakaway Box comes with a 40 Gbps USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port and supports compatible cards at up to full-length, full-height and double-width with chipsets including AMD’s Radeon R9 and RX cards and Nvidia’s Geforce GTX 7, 9, and 10 series, Titan X and XP, and Quadro GP100, P4000, P5000 and P6000 cards.

Good news: the Thunderbolt 3 cable is included.
