Breakaway™ Box 850 T5 brings desktop GPU power to your laptop with a single Thunderbolt™ 5 connection. Designed for video editors, AI developers, medical imaging and gamers, this powerful eGPU expansion enclosure lets you harness the full potential of today’s high-end graphics cards. Install the GPU of your choice, connect it to your compatible Windows laptop or small form factor (SFF) computer, and instantly unlock the performance needed for smooth 4K gaming, fast rendering, and demanding AI workflows. With triple-width GPU support, ultra-quiet operation, and upgrade flexibility, Breakaway Box 850 T5 is built for serious work — and serious play.
Breakaway Box 850 T5 is built for Thunderbolt 5 Windows computers but also works seamlessly with Thunderbolt 4 and most USB4 Windows 11 systems, delivering many of the advanced features and connectivity benefits of Thunderbolt 5.
Are you a video pro? Many of the applications you use — whether to edit, render, colour grade, animate, or create special effects — require the processing power of desktop or workstation graphics (GPU) cards to efficiently and quickly handle the demanding data processing needs. Because many popular laptops come with either integrated graphics or low-power discrete GPUs, their performance can be severely limited for these tasks. The good news? There’s an easy solution for boosting your productivity — just add a Sonnet Breakaway Box 850 T5 Thunderbolt 5 eGPU to connect your high-performance GPU card to your computer through a single Thunderbolt 5 cable and significantly enhance its graphics performance.
So, you’ve purchased a laptop or SFF computer loaded with RAM; a super-fast, high-capacity SSD; and a high-end CPU, but you’re not sure what it can do using the onboard graphics processor. For AI related tasks, maybe not as much as want it to do. But, when you connect Breakaway Box 850 T5 and install one of the latest GPU cards, you can run local AI apps faster to perform the tasks you need without paying for a subscription or per transaction fees.
You don’t need to drag around a gaming laptop to enjoy high-performance gaming. Just connect Breakaway Box 850 T5 with your graphics card installed to instantly add the GPU power you need, when you need it. This solution will boost graphics performance on laptops and small form factor computers that may otherwise fall short for demanding games. You can output the enhanced graphics to four monitors. Best of all, the GPU you install is upgradeable, so you can easily stay current with the latest generation high-performance graphics tech — something gaming laptops can’t offer.
Built to handle the most power-hungry triple-width GPUs, Breakaway Box 850 T5 is a plug-and-play upgrade that boosts performance for video production, demanding games, and AI workloads. It supports Thunderbolt-compatible GPUs including triple-wide NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50, 40, or 30 series; or AMD Radeon RX 9000, 7000, or 6000 series GPU cards. Each GPU generation brings more power — and higher watt power needs. With its robust 850W power supply, Breakaway Box 850 T5 easily supports today’s top-tier GPUs and is ready for tomorrow’s more demanding cards.
Is your computer short on ports for basic connectivity? Breakaway Box 850 T5 includes a built-in Thunderbolt 5 dock, enabling it to support additional peripherals, wired Ethernet, and a GPU card through the single Thunderbolt connection to your computer.
With its large variable-speed temperature-controlled fan that quietly and effectively supports maximum cooling of the installed card, Breakaway Box 850 T5 can be comfortably used in noise-sensitive working environments.
