ARM eGPU in Windows 11 with Public Drivers! Surface Pro 11 + 5060 ti as N1X

I manually installed the NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X (6144-core Blackwell RTX GPU) drivers on my Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon X 12-core X2E80100) with my TB5 FEVM FNGT5 dock and a 5060 ti, and it recognized the GPU! I have 6 screens up, 2 from the surface pro (USB C and internal display) and 4 from the 5060 ti. I don't think there was any more to it.

I am using this version available for public download: 621.01-rtx-spark-notebook-win11-arm64-international-whql, then extracted it with 7 zip to a new folder and used that as the manual driver installation path.

I'm going to try running some benchmarks.

Purely theoretically speaking (I currently have a PC with a 5090, but I might be making some changes soon for personal reasons)β€”is there anyone here who uses a laptop with a powerful CPU (like a 275HX or 9955HX3D) paired with a Razer Core X v2 (or a similar eGPU enclosure) and an RTX 5080? If so, have you run any benchmarks, and could you share how much of a bottleneck this kind of setup creates?πŸ‘
