WiCi One Debuts Wireless eGPU Using Wi-Fi 7 to Stream RTX 5090 Performance

California-based WiCi has launched the WiCi One, an external graphics processing unit (eGPU) that connects to laptops and tablets via Wi-Fi 7 rather than traditional cables like Thunderbolt or OCuLink. The device aims to provide desktop-class GPU power for gaming and local AI inference without physical tethering. Two models are planned: a base version with an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and a premium variant with an RTX 5090 32GB. While the base model is available for pre-order at $1,999, the higher-end version lacks a confirmed price. WiCi claims the system can run Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with 80 fps on the 5060 Ti and 110 fps on the 5090, though critics question the latency and bandwidth limitations of wireless connections for real-time gaming.

WiCi One: A Wireless eGPU Using Wi-Fi 7 for Local AI and Gaming

California-based WiCi has launched the WiCi One, a wireless external GPU (eGPU) enclosure that connects to host devices via Wi-Fi 7 rather than traditional cables like Thunderbolt or OCuLink. The device features an NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti, an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor, and 4TB of NVMe storage. While marketed for high-framerate gaming, WiCi emphasizes its utility for local AI inference and 3D rendering, where latency is less critical. The RTX 5060 Ti version is priced at $2,599, with an early sign-up rate of $1,999, while a more powerful RTX 5090 variant is planned but lacks a set price. A developer preview is expected in Q4 2026.

KDE Plasma 6.8 Delivers Big FPS Boosts for Multi-GPU and eGPU Setups

KDE Plasma 6.8 boosts multi-GPU/eGPU performance by adding DMA-BUF v6 support to KWin for direct scan-out and fewer copies, delivering substantial FPS gains (e.g., external GPU tests from 40 to 120 FPS and Cyberpunk 2077 from 27 to 50 FPS); it also adds pixel-by-pixel screen layout editing and includes KDE Frameworks 6.29 fixes for a notification-related freeze, with more changes covered in This Week in Plasma.

Framework's OCuLink Dev Kit Turns Laptop 16 Into a Desktop-Grade GPU Rig

Framework unveils an OCuLink Dev Kit that connects a desktop GPU or other PCIe cards to the Framework Laptop 16 via a direct PCIe link, delivering desktop-level graphics power; it's a barebones, non plug-and-play solution that requires a desktop power supply and a reboot, with 3D-printed docking options, and it will ship later this year—not compatible with other Framework laptops.

Framework expands Laptop 16 with eGPU dock and modular upgrades

Framework is adding an eGPU option to its Laptop 16 via an OCuLink Dev Kit that plugs directly into the mainboard to run PCIe cards (including GPUs) and ships with an OCuLink Dock for off-the-shelf PCIe expansion. The kit works with existing blank modules, and more hardware details are promised later this year. In addition, Framework is releasing an all-in-one trackpad/keyboard cover, a new wireless keyboard, a Laptop Sleeve, and a 10Gb Ethernet expansion card designed with Wisdpi, broadening the Laptop 16 ecosystem beyond its core modular design.

"Running GTA Vice City on a Router with eGPU and Debian Linux: A Hardware Hacker's Achievement"

A hardware hacker named KittenLabs managed to run GTA: Vice City on a TP-Link TL-WDR4900 router using an AMD Radeon HD 7470 eGPU and Debian Linux. By designing a custom miniPCIe breakout PCB and updating the Mesa 3D graphics library, they overcame various hurdles to make the game run smoothly, despite initial glitches and compatibility issues. The project showcases the potential for unconventional hardware setups and the ingenuity of the hacker community.

"Is the Asus ROG Ally the Ultimate Gaming Handheld?"

The Asus ROG Ally is a handheld gaming device that runs Windows natively and feels more like a miniature PC than a console. It features an Xbox controller layout, dual front-facing speakers, and a 1080p display with a variable refresh rate between 30Hz and 120Hz. The device can be plugged into Asus' XG Mobile docking station, which is available with a high-end RTX 4090 laptop GPU. The device's price, real-world battery life, and glitches are still unknown, but it is expected to be a competitive premium option for enthusiasts who want to spend more for a luxury experience.
