I could take over the world with that.
No, really!
(Homage to Time Computers ad many years ago)
In conjunction with opening of AI conference NeurIPS, until recently known as NIPS, chip biz Nvidia has demonstrated a system that generates 3D environments using neural networks, open sourced its PhysX physics engine, and announced its Titan RTX GPU. Nvidia created a driving game for NeurIPS attendees that allows players to …

I have spend that much on my PC, which was equal to a $1500 PC the next year (and a $700 PC 2 years later) but one component? Please.
This exercise in seeing how much money they can extract for "the fastest" blah blah has got to stop. For $2500 I could (and yes this is blasphemy) but a P4 AND Xbox1 and still have a ton of money to load them up with leading title games.
Just lower the 10 series to what used to be normal pricing and let the suckers burn their houses down with these RTX cards.
