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.

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.
“It’s a difference-maker in some of the most painful ‘waiting around for my computer’ moments like color grading/correction, scaling, 3D, RAW formats, and video noise reduction. I saw a range of improvement from 20% to over 100% with Thunderbolt-equipped Intel Macs.”
