2018 Hardware Thread

@specialkone, good to see you again. Welcome back.

@doorules, good morning Sir. Great to see you back in action again. I still think Nvidia can't live with the idea that there is a card faster than the Titan.

Thanks guys. Guess you are asking yourselves if these 2080's OC better than Pascal or maybe I should say EOL Pascal. Reviews coming soon I guess.

I'm waiting for the reviews as well, but I don't believe all the hype we heard. I may believe that the 2080 TI is 4 times faster than the Titan XP in Ray Tracing. The Titan wasn't built for Ray Tracing. But you are going to have a real hard time convincing me that it is 4 times faster otherwise. If the 2080 TI can post a score of 45,000+ in Superposition 4K, I'll buy one. But, I really doubt that is going to happen. Consider me a skeptic, although I think the technology is fantastic and has a great future. And don't show me the scores with it on LN2. Too much trouble while gaming.

The descriptions for the latest available MSI BIOS updates have been updated to show the 9th Generation Intel CPU's are supported.

Hi,

I'm in no way going for any of these models I'm good for a while but should be fun to see what they can do.

Ditto!

I'm quite excited for these new products, especially the new features they have put in the actual GPU (not the software part, but the actual hardware, since it can be used by many different software implementations and applications). I think the next gen cards could be quite an army of beasts when the GPU die is shrunk down to 7nm.

But I can't currently even afford a new computer, so these cards are completely out of my reach.
