MSI is developing an external enclosure for installing a desktop video card on a laptop computer, using the Thunderbolt connection, dubbed GUS II. This product will allow laptop users to have a higher gaming performance, and also the possibility of having several video monitors connected to the portable. This enclosure allows you to install any desktop video card up to 150 W, with 75 W delivered through the PCI Express slot available inside the unit and 75 W delivered through a six-pin auxiliary power connector. The prototype allows the installation of video cards up to 7.9” (200 mm) in length, but this may change on the final product. MSI is still waiting for drivers for the product to become available, and also for more adoption of the Thunderbolt connection, which currently is only available on the Mac platform.

These new chips are still based on the “old” AMD graphics architecture, Terascale 2 (a.k.a. VLIW5), and not on the new architecture introduced with the Radeon HD 7970 desktop graphics chip (Graphics Core Next). A new family based on this architecture is expected to be launched later this year. In the figure below, you can see the main specifications for the three new series that were released.
