It's 2022 and with the unpredictable prices of graphics cards rising since the beginning of the pandemic, the question of whether getting an eGPU is really worth it comes to mind. Before we get into that, let's start with a simple explainer about eGPUs? An eGPU is an external graphics processing unit.
