Have you had any experience using a graphics dock? I was talking about it the other day and while it seems like a nice idea I've yet to encounter anyone who's actually used one and can speak to how good compatibility is.

Up to this point graphics docks have either been hacked together or proprietary one-offs, so they're not widely used. Standardized TB3 graphics docks are coming very soon though.

Compatibility wise they're supposed to work with any laptop that has Thunderbolt 3, supports the Intel eGPU UEFI extension, and is running Windows 10.

My Surface Book is effectively that (the better GPU is in the detachable half) and compatibility is perfect (once had an issue where a game used the wrong card, detached and reattached and it was all fine, drivers have updated since then) - admittedly that's a system where everything is first-party and designed to work that way.
