This is a fairly expensive option since you need to buy the enclosure and the GPU itself, but it means you won't need to constantly be connected to the internet to play your games, and you can take full advantage of the 120Hz display on the Surface Pro 9. PCIe is the interface used to communicate with the internal components of a PC, but by passing it through a Thunderbolt 4 port, you can connect a graphics card that's actually outside your computer using an external GPU enclosure. Still, it has some amazing capabilities, including up to 40Gbps of bandwidth and, most importantly, support for PCIe signaling through a USB Type-C port. This is a proprietary Intel technology, so it's not available on the 5G models of the Surface Pro 9. If you have a Surface Pro 9 with an Intel processor, the other option you have is to use an external GPU, which is possible thanks to the power of Thunderbolt 4. Using an external GPU (Intel models only) It's worth noting that not games on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate use a mouse and keyboard, so you'll need a controller like an Xbox Wireless Controller. We'd say Xbox Cloud Gaming offers the best value because you can get it with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which includes over 100 games, many of them being major releases, on top of having a dedicated app to use the service. Both Xbox Cloud Gaming and Amazon Luna support 1080p streaming at 60 FPS, so while it's not as impressive as GeForce Now, you'll still have a good time. And, because the Arm model has 5G, you might be able to play from anywhere, even without Wi-Fi. If you have the Arm version of the Surface Pro 9, you might want to use Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox, since those are the only two browsers that run natively on Arm-based Windows devices. You can also access Amazon Luna through a web browser. Xbox Cloud Gaming can be used through the Xbox app for Windows, which runs natively on both Intel and Arm variants of the Surface Pro 9, so it's probably the most convenient option.
