Asus Rog Ally X have no XG mobile adapter

[NarzOo]

Hello
I saw new presentation Asus rog ally X
And I have 1 question
How I must use my XG mobile EGPU in new ASUS rog Ally??
Will Asus provide some kind of adapter for this video card? or how? Did I throw away $2000?

I saw that too.   I'm sure with an adapter to both usb-c ports, it could work.   Then the interesting thing, if the ports are the same distance apart as a MacBook Pro, Surface Pro 8, Samsung Galaxy Book Ultra and other devices, will they also support this egpu or would they make the software asus only?

Seems a shame ASUS removed one of the factors that stands out amongst the competition; instead of being a day 1 pre-order I’ll stick my Ally/4090 XG for now…

Yeah I'd likely upgrade to the X if they make an adapter to hook up my current XG. Without that I'm staying with mine

It's unbelievable ... Rog Ally X with 23Go Ram (1Go lost do 780m) was the perfect size for the combo Ally/Xg mobile.

Thunderbolt 4 eGPU even with 4090 Desktop can't match the XG Mobile 4090 plugged in Pci Express 4.0 8X

After, i think that people using the Ally with XG Mobile represents very very few users of Ally  ...  4090 have a price with non sense, 3080 is still expensive and hard to find, only the 6850 is "cheaper" and easy to find but 800€ for the perf are too high ...

It would be helpful to know. I have an xg mobile and have held off buying the ally while waiting to see the ally x. I won’t buy it if it isn’t compatible.

Never say never, but AFAIK there are currently no plans for an adapter.  I'd surmise that the reasoning was very low uptake. Dual USB-C is a welcome addition for me.

[MarthaKennedy]

You are right, I agree with you.

Asus definitely should drop an adapter. I just spent 2k on the 4090. Shake my head.

By ASUS not providing a way for us to use our XG Mobile devices with their latest ROG Ally X is going to be a showstopper for me... tbh i think the ROG Ally w/ XG Mobile > ROG Ally X in terms of performance based on what i'm seeing...
