Smoother. Faster. Easier.
Graphics-intensive operating systems and applications rely heavily on the GPU to run at their best and thus let you perform at your best too. Unfortunately, integrated graphics (combo CPU/GPU chip) and just adequate GPUs are permanently installed (translation: can’t be upgraded) in notebook, small form factor, and all-in-one design computers.
The Node Titan is a Plug and Play external graphics processing unit (eGPU) that will supercharge your Thunderbolt-equipped Mac or PC. You’ll marvel at how much smoother and responsive your computer operates. It feels like your favorite thrill park ride when you’re working easier and faster with Adobe Creative Suite, Apple Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Blender, 3D/VR, and video/audio processing apps. Giving yourself editing, workflow, and gaming capabilities simply not possible with factory installed graphics processing is now just a single cable connection away with the Node Titan.
The Solution for All Content Creators (and Players too!)
Whether you’re a beginning YouTuber to feature film editor, photographer, or designer, the Node Titan is an ideal solution for a diverse range of content creators. Gone is the frustrating sluggishness when running multiple apps simultaneously. Say hello to having faster, reliable sustained performance for resource intensive graphics programs, large format video editing, and special effects creation. Get more done with faster render times for thumbnails, previews, and playback of full high-def video. And when it comes time for play, the Node Titan delivers breathtaking life-like high FPS gaming.
Videographers
Whether you have a handful of followers or a huge audience, you’ll get pro results without the cost of a big bucks dedicated production workstation.
Gamers
Ditch the heavy weight and bulkiness of gaming notebooks while expanding the number of displays on which you can hunt down the bad guys.
Classroom to Boardroom
Enhance your notebook with extreme graphics capabilities for blow-their-minds presentations.
Extend The Life of Your Thunderbolt and USB4 Computer
GPU technology advancements are occurring at a much faster pace than CPU updates. With the Node Titan, you can extend the life of your Thunderbolt (USB-C) equipped Intel Macs (pretty much any model from 2016 onward), PCs, and AMD USB4 PCs by dramatically improving its graphics technology when it ages without having to buy costly new machine. With a toolless design for easy card access and installation, you have the power to choose what card you need today while being economically future-ready for GPU technology advancements.
See The Bigger (and better) Picture
Depending upon the GPU card you install into the Node Titan, you can immerse yourself into a new world of visual delight with up to six external displays. Accelerate your graphics on multiple 4K displays or on your notebook’s built-in display. Daisy-chain multiple Node Titans together for graphics power only found in expensive dedicated video workstations. With the Node Titan, you’ll quickly see the visual flexibility you’ve been missing.
It Simply Works
All you need to do to seamlessly utilize the power of your choice of today’s most popular AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards as well as a pro audio card like the Avid HDX is connect the Node Titan to your existing Thunderbolt (USB-C) equipped computer. Many apps are designed to automatically engage with a GPU to achieve accelerated results without manual configuration. No new machine reconfiguration hassle and downtime…the Node Titan simply works into your workflow with immediate results.
Powerfully Unlimited
You can play and create without limits when you add the Node Titan to your set-up. There’s an integrated 650W power supply that can handle the most insatiable cards. Speaking of handling, thanks to Node Titan’s spacious design, you can even use single or double-width full-length, full-height cards.
You can also charge your notebook battery fast and keep its charged level at maximum while pushing your creativity and machine to the limit. No more separate notebook power adapter needed...just connect the Node Titan’s 85W Thunderbolt upstream port to your notebook via the included Thunderbolt cable and you’re all set.
Grab n' Go
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 take powerful graphics capabilities along safely and easily with your notebook wherever you roam.

Good Product, Unfortunate Mishap
I ordered the AKiTiO Node Titan because of its solid, all metal construction; clean looks; and the good reputation I've always believed OWC to have. My 3-star rating has nothing to do with the quality of the product. The AKiTiO Node Titan itself is a fantastic eGPU. However, my unit did not come with the advertised Thunderbolt cable in the box, which is the reason for my mediocre star rating. For whatever reason this snuck past quality control. I emailed OWC support and they asked me to send them pictures of the packaging etc. so that they could verify that there indeed was no cable in the box. The process, from contacting support to receiving the cable that should've been in the box from the start, took two weeks. That was the disappointment with this purchase.
I would recommend this product to a friend!

Looks great……
Great look, fans noisy, and PCI slot don't have pop-outs for wider GPU, and creates obstruction for ventilation.
