I have a T480 and was thinking about getting the graphics dock instead of using the integrated graphics. Just wondering if anyone has experience gaming with this setup and if it would even be worth it.

I've been rocking a X1Y3 with a Razer Core X for just about a year and I couldn't be happier with my setup. I was extremely hesitant to go through the eGPU route at first since the tech is new/early, but I haven't run into a single problem yet.
I have this setup because I use my X1Y3 during the day for business, and come home with the laptop at the end of the day to game for a few hours. 10/10 would recommend!
It works very well. I get about 140 FPS in CSGO at lowest settings. I have the I5-8250U and 8 gb ram single channel.
Amazing, thank you guys for the feedback!
I also have a T480 and just bought a graphics dock last month. I find it great to use. A few of my hardcore gamer friends said that the latency when using the built in screen is definitely noticeable, but I have no problem with it. In terms of performance I am seeing around 60 fps with high settings in games that are 2-3 years old. I also have the i5 processor instead of the i7. If you have more specific questions about my experience I am happy to answer them.
