    Yay! You can ray trace now!

    I just moved up from a 1080 Ti a month ago. That card carried me for 5 or 6 years.

    I feel like the 1080Ti is still plenty good for the majority of games out there

    If you get the water block version like Spraynard then they are much smaller.

    I run a 4080 at work, but only the CPU is liquid cooled. And no fancy lights - don’t need to call more attention to the 3D modeling systems that they already do.

    Custom cooling lines are totally foreign to me. Would like to go into it one day though. Cuts into my truck budget :(

    That is a 4080 FE and the coolant is fresh squeezed mango juice.

    A word on the kitteh: it's a rescue from dad's neighbor. It has strong conformation to the Bombay breed of felines. His name is BB and is the bestest kitteh boy ever.

    It's good that you use freshly squeezed Mango juice as the stuff from concentrate has been found to cause cancer in certain cooling configurations
