Does that rapture wifi router gives me -100ms ping and over 9000 download and upload speed when set RGB to blue?

I'm quite aware, but I'll take God of Sega over God of tuna and salt-water.

Is the Poseidon 1080 Ti watercooled?

Water or air-cooled or both.

[DrMikeNZ]

Is 10GB finally making its way to the consumer market? This means I no longer need to use second hand 4-port gigabit server cards in all of my systems.

How much more will these retail for than FE cards?  I might sell my 1080 Ti FE cards and get two of those.  The noise is getting hard to cope with.

They should retail for -100 over the FEs, but AIBs don't care and will make you pay $150 just for the "improved design" regardless of what Nvidia says.

[dexT]

I'll snag that NIC if it's sub $80

[Not_Sean]

its can't be just me, but seriously why is so much of the rog stuff so damn ugly ! ! and I know Trump signed the order RGB all the things but man these just look hideous! 

 

Guess i'll be sticking with MSI for upgrade time.

Would this help back light bleed at all that we usually see on IPS panels?

When do they release?

Judging by the 1080 launch, poorly with very low supply for the increased cash flow. They were about a month late the last time IIRC.

 

Edit: A month after the other AIBs hit the market.

Not if they don't QC them like they apparently haven't been with the other 500$+ gaming monitors they currently sell.  Hopefully they will step up their game with the new product line

Don't waste your money on the Poseidon cards. The 'watercooling' on them is not good, its essentially just a fluid channel through the heatpipes used for air cooling. You'll get much better temps from a proper waterblock on your FE cards, or even an AIO cooler like the EVGA Hybrid kit.
