I am building an AMD Ryzen PC, and want eGPUs. Thunderbolt is extremely limited, but I've recently seen OCuLink. For example, AOOSTAR AG02 supports USB4 and OCuLink.

The AOOSTAR AG02 is more expensive than some Thunderbolt options, so I'm looking around. What options do I have for non-Thunderbolt eGPU?

We might need a bit more context for why you want to do this. Because as far as I can think, I can't really come up with a reasonable circumstance in which you might want to use an eGPU on a PC

Hi, I want to play with sending small amounts of data between multiple GPUs, for a distributed computing POC, but want a small PC case. Most of the time I won't use the GPUs.
