        <description>It's been five years since I started working towards full eGPU support on the Raspberry Pi. And we're finally here. Check out all the graphics cards I'm testing on: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com And PLEASE consider donating to the UOAA, who has helped me and millions of ostomates over the years, to live a better life after surgery. You can use the donation option on YouTube, or support the UOAA directly: https://www.ostomy.org/donate/ You can also donate on my 5K Run for Resilience fundraising page—any option supports the UOAA directly! https://runsignup.com/jeff-geerling Other things I mentioned in the video: Run LLMs with llama.cpp on GPU on Pi: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/llms-accelerated-egpu-on-raspberry-pi-5, Full Pi eGPU acceleration with tiny patch: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/full-egpu-acceleration-on-pi-500-15-line-patch, JMT eGPU Dock + M.2 adapter: https://amzn.to/4mLcnNF, OCuLink cable: https://amzn.to/4gRWBiO, ThirdReality Smart Zigbee Outlets (for power monitoring): https://amzn.to/3IItDW6, Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/geerlingguy Sponsor me on GitHub: https://github.com/sponsors/geerlingguy Merch: https://www.redshirtjeff.com 2nd Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GeerlingEngineering 3rd Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Level2Jeff Contents: 00:00:00 - Intro and UOAA fundraiser info 00:03:12 - The setup - Pi 500+ and an eGPU Dock 00:04:55 - The 23-line Linux kernel patch and setup 00:07:49 - Doom 3 on 7900 XT 00:08:57 - Can it run Crysis?
