So i have a Intel NUC, its great and all, i use it for media center streamer, but do they sell GPU that somehow run over HDMI/USb that have enough power to player FPS or other games at good speeds?

This seems like something that would be popular, I just don't know the limitation..be it bandwidth or latency? I vaguely remember something like this a few years ago.

I want a 2nd mini PC, was going to throw together something for $500 with a GTX 760ti. But if they got a GPU that can just plug into another computer, i got 3 intel NUC i could use instead. hehe

USB doesn't have enough bandwidth. If you could get PCIe externally from the NUC then you could run that to an enclosure that housed a GPU. It's going to be a bit of a hack job though.

I swear i saw something like this though, not sure if it was amd or nvidia. Might been when they was ATI.

I know they have the thunderbolt type external gpu housing thing.Unlikely you have a thunderbolt connection available.
