Things are little crazy here:

Not much to add, only to say that comparing to 1660 the difference is huge. I was expecting something around the level of 580

You might be right to believe most people will be happy with PCI-E 3.0. In reality, the move is driven by the computing, in particular AI market. Bringing it to the gaming board probably is just a by product, but lots of “gamers” let me tell you: many. Maybe not the main frame of the school...

I am not sure what makes you think a gaming board cannot do serious work, you need to read more about computing in general, not limiting yourself to the headline. There are tons of homelab builders and even laboratories using gaming grade computer components to run experiments with GPU. Oh...

Quit thinking gaming is the only purpose/use of GPU already. There is a thing called compute.

What's the motivation? I thought now the Pro driver just works with gaming cards. And for the FE, it is a Pro card and shouldn't show too much differences except for the ECC part from 9100 iirc.

The poll is one of the best follow-up I have seen.

Exactly what I think, if they are able to sell lower bin chips at a price similar to a competing product, why not? As the users this may not be a wonderful new product, but it is at least an option.

Depending on the FP64 performance, this can be a hell of a card for compute, though it would have been perfect if it comes with PCI-E 4

There is really little reason not to get Silverstone MS09 and a so so so cheap SATA M.2 SSD nowadays. I can't be happier with my Intel 545s portal drive.

Tesla is still worth it for DP, just not HP anymore.

As someone who writes his own code who can do multi threading, there is no hesitation choosing 2700x over this. And then if I game, I can choose 8700k or even 8600k for their almost identical single threaded performance as 9900k. It’s a premium to pay to get the best out of both world; more...

That’s one more thing Intel learnt from AMD’s Vega launch, apart from the number of cores and TIM.

Ask money.

It depends on your pocket but with that price jump I can’t say it’s worth it. Especially 1080Ti are now significantly cheaper.
