You would need to go all the way back to CES 2012 to see our coverage of the GUS II external graphics enclosure, and now MSI has a new G.U.S. (Graphics Upgrade System) GPU enclosure to show, this time using Thunderbolt 3.

In addition to 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, the G.U.S. includes a built-in 500W power supply with 80 Plus Gold certification, as well as USB 3.0 Type-C and Type-A ports including a quick-charge port on the front of the unit.

Ryan had a look at the G.U.S. (running an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, no less) at MSI's booth:

Specifications from MSI:

  • 1x Thunderbolt 3 (40 Gbps) port to connect to host PCs
  • 2x USB 3.0 Type-A (rear)
  • 1x USB 3.0 Type-C (rear)
  • 1x USB 3.0 Type-A w/QC (front)
  • 80 Plus Gold 500W internal PSU

We do not have specifics on pricing or availablity for the G.U.S. just yet.
