Asus appears to have quietly launched the ROG XG Station 3. As the name suggests, the external GPU (eGPU) enclosure is the third generation enclosure, but rather than encasing the GPU, the brand is going for an open-air design this round.

By that, the ROG XG Station 3 now simply has the graphics card docked directly on top of the system, in the same way one would mount it on a testbench. Below is the PSU enclosure, which surprisingly remains as the only thing that stays in encased. As usual, Asus recommends that consumers use a PSU with 750W or higher, and with an 80 PLUS Gold rating. Oh, and either an SFX or SFX-L form factor.
