eGPU without Thunderbolt? (lemmy.ml)

I am building an AMD Ryzen PC, and want eGPUs. Thunderbolt is extremely limited, but I've recently seen OCuLink. For example, AOOSTAR AG02 supports USB4 and OCuLink.

The AOOSTAR AG02 is more expensive than some Thunderbolt options, so I'm looking around. What options do I have for non-Thunderbolt eGPU?

I have other reasons to want a normal, small PC. I don't expect to change the hardware much once I get it. I will consider the other approach, but in the mean time I'd like to know what the eGPU options are.

The prototype involves sending a small amount of data between devices, and doing some small calculations. I expect to get 3050s, and even those will be massive overkill. I'm specifically prototyping sending data.
