I been told that adding one more GPU dont do much difference when working on 1 file, better to work on 2 file simultaneously ? in Video pro.

how dose using ANQ-L336 Mini eGPU Enclosure 40Gbps Thunderbolt3/4 USB4 for a extarnal GPU work ?

what would be the % gain in bulding a system with 2 GPU ? for 1 file 2 GPU and 2 files 2 GPU?

Regards Thomas
