Node Titan
Plug & Play Thunderbolt 3 External GPU (eGPU) Solution

New Condition | Open Box

Turn Your Computer Into a Graphics Powerhouse

Trying to play graphically taxing games or perform professional video editing on notebook, all-in-on, and small form factor computers can at best be described as unsatisfactory. Damage to the machine can even occur from pounding on it in frustration! That’s because the built-in graphical processing power is either immediately woefully inadequate for intensive uses or over time has fallen behind the latest technology.

The AKiTiO Node Titan is an external graphics processing unit (eGPU) that lets you transform your notebook or other slotless computer (Mac mini, iMac, NUC, etc.) into a high-performance gaming, video editing, and graphics workstation for a fraction of the cost of buying or building a new machine. It connects to a Thunderbolt 3-equipped computer and offers the power and space needed for today’s most popular double-wide full-length/full-height AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.

Edit from Anywhere…Faster

If you’ve dreamed of a portable editing system, welcome to a new workflow reality. The Node Titan turns notebook computers like the MacBook Pro into a powerful NLE (Non-Linear Editing) machine. No more system performance slowing to a crawl with even basic effects…now you knock out effects-laden timelines and high-quality exports with immediate time-saving ROI. By adding a second Node Titan, you can tap into the processing power of multiple eGPUs for exponential gains in timeline performance and accelerated renders and exports.

Explore a Different Reality

Without an eGPU like Node Titan, exploring new dimensions with an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive VR headset on a standard notebook was pure fantasy. To start seeing what you’ve been missing, just plug a VR headset directly into your graphics card’s DisplayPort. You can also connect a second or third external display for extra workspace.

Easily Handles Power-Hungry Cards

The Node Titan lets you play and create without limits. If your graphics card (sold separately) requires more than the x16 PCIe slot industry standard 75W output, no problem! There’s a class-leading 650W power supply that can handle power hungry cards like the Radeon RX Vega 64. Speaking of handling, thanks to Node Titan’s spacious design, you can even use double-wide full-length/full-height cards.

Highlights

Lightning fast graphics: Thunderbolt 3 port for up to 40Gb/s speed
NLE ready: turns notebooks into mobile video editing systems
Immediate ROI: vastly reduced edit and render times
Satisfies power hungry cards: 650W power supply
Play or work while charging: up to 85W for notebook charging
Spacious design: enables use of large double-width graphics cards
On-the-go graphics: retractable carrying handle for easy transport
3D realism: enables effective use of VR headsets
Plug and Play: includes Thunderbolt 3 cable for immediate use
Toolless access: thumb screws for easy card installation

Accelerates Both Pro Apps and Games

Truly a mobile work and entertainment game-changer, Node Titan accelerates 3D graphics-based pro apps, games, and VR. In macOS 10.14 and later, turn on “Prefer external GPU” and on Windows 10, adjust display graphics settings in your app/game to “High performance” to experience vastly improved lighting, richly detailed textures, and breathtaking visual effects.

Grab n’ Go Graphics

Gaming or editing video on-the-go has never been easier. The Node Titan features a commercial quality electrogalvanized steel case with a retractable carrying handle to safely and easily take powerful graphics capabilities along with your notebook wherever you roam.

Flexible Now, Expandable for Future Needs

Unlike other eGPUs that come as a bundled solution and cannot be upgraded in the future, Node Titan gives you the power of choice in deciding what graphics card to install for your present needs. If your needs change in the future, simply swap cards to keep your graphics performance on the cutting edge.

Easy Toolless Setup

Adding the ultimate visual experience to your gaming, video editing, and graphics intensive apps couldn’t be easier:

Lift and slide Node Titan’s cover from the back to open the enclosure.
Push your graphics card (sold separately) into the PCIe slot and secure with the extended length thumb screws.
Connect one or both of the 8-pin PCIe power connectors to the card depending on power requirements.
Slide Node Titan’s cover back on and secure with thumb screws.
Connect Node Titan to your Thunderbolt 3-equipped computer via the included Thunderbolt 3 cable.

Reviewer: DavidBateman

Rating: 5/5 Fantastic product May 28, 2021 I bought this for my new Mac Mini in order to run video and multiple monitors in my studio. It works very well and 4K video doesn’t bog down my system.

Rating: 5/5 Outstanding Power & Excellent Results! May 2, 2021 It compliments by adding superb eGPU power and easy setup in the Get Info of any Mac software. Buy it today you won’t be disappointed! No more lag, say goodbye to the spinning wheel of wonder! Renders are off the chart! Muscle in the benefits of tweaking the Cores of your graphic cards and watch your content fly! You can also use it to power your MacBook Pro with the eGPU freeing all other ports for other peripherals. AKiTio Node Titan Thunderbolt leaves everyone else in the dust!

Rating: 5/5 Outstanding eGPU setup July 4, 2020 I got this to go with my new Mac Mini and I must say that I am impressed. The Node Titan is a really good enclosure and I love the tool-less installation for cards. As for the card itself, I honestly wasn't expecting much considering it is only a midrange graphics card, but it runs like a champ and is able to handle pretty much everything I use it for. The fans keep the setup from overheating and they don't make much noise, which is awesome. Overall I am quite pleased.

Rating: 5/5 Great for rendering July 3, 2020 Using this mainly for Resolve 16 on my 2018 Mac Mini. Speeds up workflow considerably, letting me render simple video, (HD) with basic grading and titles, almost 1.5x realtime. 4K is working at 17-20fps for renders. Before getting this box, it was like 2-10fps depending on the shot. Wow! Future proof as well, I may put in a Vega64 when I do more 4k stuff.

Fast shipping and perfect service, as always. Love these folks!

Rating: 5/5 Huge performance increase July 1, 2020 I use this for video production on a Mac mini (Prem Pro, Da Vinci Resolve, Avid). I have a Radeon Pro W5700 installed driving two 4K UHD monitors. The performance increase has been enormous and I can also do realtime viewing with multiple effects at full 4k 10 bit resolution and no stuttering. The only issue I've had is that if the Mac goes to sleep all the displays go black on rewake and the system has to be rebooted. This is apparently an OSX bug that effects all enclosures. Quiet, Sleek design, exactly the right size, trivial install (although a little text on the power cables would have helped).

Rating: 5/5 Outstanding in every way! May 20, 2020 The Akitio Node Titan with W5700 replaces my Blackmagic eGPU Pro and it’s an ideal upgrade. For essentially the same cost I get a unit that’s demonstrably faster, more versatile and — a most pleasant surprise — virtually as quiet as the Blackmagic unit. The footprint of the Akitio is only slightly larger, but gives me a unit that I can upgrade as newer and more powerful cards come to market. Finally, it’s always a pleasure working with an OWC product, whose makers stand behind what they make.

Rating: 5/5 A well built eGPU May 16, 2020 I received my AKiTiO Node Titan Thunderbolt 3 eGPU Enclosure with Radeon RX 580 GPU quickly, only a couple of days after placing my order. While both units are shipped together they are in their own individual packaging. The card must be inserted in the eGPU enclosure which is a simple plugin that requires no tools. The AKiTiO enclosure is extremely well built and provides both the power and cooling requirements for a more powerful graphics card upgrade at a later date if needed. The eGPU enclosure has a built-in power supply so only a standard 3-prong power cable connects the unit to power (no external large power brick.) The unit is near-silent at idle but there is a little fan hum if you listen closely. This was only apparent to me because I'm using it with a silent Mac Mini. Performance is good...many times the graphics abilities built into my Mini. It did seem large at first but upon consideration, I understand that room provides future upgradability. It was a plug and play setup and I had it up and running in about 10 mins. I'm very pleased so far with this purchase.
