      Is USB4 able to use an external GPU?

      Yes but it would be BS to use one with a power-contrained CPU like the Deck’s.

        You could bump up the resolution and graphical settings at least, even if you’re constrained in framerate and in CPU limited games. Although I believe the eGPU support on Linux isn’t great at this point either.

      yes, USB4 has thunderbolt in the spec. The cpu on the deck is just fine for games but the gpu with shared memory is really it’s biggest bottleneck.
