Extremely low performance on EGPU RX 7800 xt over thunderbolt 4
performancequestion
i'm getting around 30 fps in overwatch. The steam performance overlay says that i'm using 100% of my gpu and 8% of my cpu. I'm also getting some noise that sounds like coil whine.
My Laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 16AKP10, which has two thunderbolt 4 ports, one of which i have plugged the EGPU into, the other being plugged into another thunderbolt 4 dock, because i need it for my Ethernet connection.
I know that EGPUs have throttling issues, but this is my first time using an EGPU, and i assume that it's not supposed to be this bad. Can a kind soul help me out?
The Egpu in question is one of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009743987594.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.7fa91802fBZ5lZ

Solution
Sometimes when you quickly write out a question on a forum like this, it becomes easy to see the next troubleshooting step. I just enabled method 3 as well, and now the game is running as it should :D
