The thing I love about the MZ-02 is that it will take nearly any current line GPU so the sky is the limit performance wise.
The benchmarks I've seen say the overhead of the TB3 connection is 5-15% of native GPU speed. The docking and undocking works fine with the nv card ( it did BSOD when I tried it with an old AMD GPU we had on the shelf while I was waiting for the 1060) - but the window geometries / DPI are all screwed up. TBH I get that a fair bit docking and undocking with the USB adapters or genuine Lenovo dock so I'm inclined to blame Windows.
