Can you combine External GPU's and a Laptops GPU for increased GPU render time?

When using a razer blade 15 and combining it with a Razer Core V1 External GPU Enclosure, are you able to GPU render using both cards- the laptops GPU and the external GPU?

Also, would a razer blade 15, with a Intel Core™ i7-8750H processor Hex-core (2.2GHZ), get bottled necked with an adjacent 2070super with an eGPU ?

Lmk any thoughts- thanks!

Most of the Razer Blade 15 models have a thunderbolt 3 connector so you should be able to use it, even in conjunction with your internal gpu.

That said the eGPU will be limited to x4 pcielanes, so you'll likely see a performance hit there that you wouldnt have with a gpu directly attached to your pcie slots.
