The Acer Swift Go 14 (SFG14-41) does support DisplayPort over USB-C. This means you can use a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter and connect an external GPU (eGPU), it does not have Intel Thunderbolt3-4 that is required to connect an eGPU directly to the USB-C port.

You can connect an eGPU enclosure to the Swift SFG14-41 as it has 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports which is an input display port and its used for the modern eGPU enclosures, have a look here at the range of enclosures that you can use as they are available for different budgets. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

Steven didn't quite read the specs well enough there. Although the ports have a lightning bolt symbol, specs specifically say they do not support the Thunderbolt standard. Most eGPUs require at least Thunderbolt 3. You can put a monitor on the port using the DP Alt Mode, but not an eGPU which needs more bandwidth.
