XG Station

XG Station

XG Station is a device designed to provide external graphics processing power to laptops.It connects to a laptop though an ExpressCard slot. It will require a separate monitor as well as its own power source, both of which reduce its viability for portable gaming.

It includes a large knob used to control various settings such as overclocking, USB 2.0 ports, and a headphone jack. The screen tells the user information such as the GPU's clock and memory speeds, fan speeds, temperature, master volume, and FPS. From available photos it would appear that it will also provide dual DVI output connectors.

Since XG station uses the Express Card interface, actual bandwidth available to the card will be approximately pci-e 1.1 x1 bandwidth.

The XG Station was featured at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show.

The XG Station was scheduled to be released at the beginning of Q2 2007. A full package will include the XG Station graphics docking station, one ASUS EN7900GS graphics card and assorted accessories according to Asus News [cite web | url = http://www.asus.com/news_show.aspx?id=5369 | title = ASUS XG Station Empowers Upgradeable Graphics Power for Notebook Computers | author = ASUS] . The EN7900GS graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce 7900 according to an article from the Inquirer [cite web | url = http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2007/04/05/asus-xg-station-exposed | title = ASUS XG Station exposed | author = The Inquirer] , and can be swapped out for another one. A recent publication [cite web | url = http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ces-asus-xg-station,4679.html| title=Asus XG Station Approaches Availability from tomshardware.com] has renewed speculation that the device is approaching production.
