Decent series, but not fantastic

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been a fan of nature documentaries since The Trials of Life series, but Dynasties just isn't up to par. It's a decent concept, but I feel like it was poorly followed and the purpose was lost along the way.

The Godzilla of video cards
on October 25, 2018

For starters, this card is a size monster. At just under 13 inches long, 5.5 inches deep, and 2.5 PCIe slots, It also requires 3 power connections 8/8/6, making it look almost like a 24pin motherboard cable. expect this to take up your case. It fits nicely in my Corsair 1000D.
Performance wise, this is a single card ready to handle 4K/60 with high/ultra settings, all on its own.
For reference to what I'm running this on...
Asus Rampage VI Extreme
i9 7900X (no overclocking)
64GB 3200MHz C16 DDR4 RAM
MSI RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio (no additional overclocking)
- Final Fantasy XV ran at 4K/60fps with minimal drops on the highest settings with only AA, VXAO, and ShadowLibs disabled. Enabling VXAO and ShadowLibs took it down into the 45 to 55fps range with drops to 30fps in battles, which is still playable if you're not bothered by less than 60fps performance. Running the benchmark, I scored 6376, just over 5% higher than the standard RTX 2080 Ti listed.
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider on ultra settings with HDR and AA disabled ran an average of 61fps at 4K/HDR, with a low of 52fps and a high of 95fps.
- Because why not, I ran Sleeping Dogs (Definitive Edition) on ultra (extreme) settings. With AA on extreme, the game ran an average of 50fps, with a low of 30, and highs in the low 60s. Turning AA down to normal, the average went up to 87fps with a low of 59.
- And lastly, I threw a fan favorite at it... Batman: Arkham Knight. Can you taste the sarcasm? At 4K on ultra settings with only AA disabled, Arkham Knight ran a lovely average of 80fps with a high of 108. The lowest minimum I saw was 58fps despite the screenshot showing 33. This benchmark chokes at the very start coming out of the loading screen.
If you're using anything less than 4K/60, this card will handle whatever you throw at it. Tested several games on my Asus 34" ultrawide @ 3440x1440 with AA turned up, and it obliterated everything.
The card idled or of the box around 45C, so maybe you've heard complaints about heat. Fans don't spin up until these cards start to get hot, so I installed MSI Afterburner to setup a custom fan profile. Idles now around 30C. In my testing, I never saw temps go much higher than 65C.
According to MSI Afterburner, I was reaching a boost clock of 1995.
Note that the RTX GEFORCE on the side of the card doesn't have LED lighting and makes it look a bit broken with the rest of the RGB around it.
Waiting on a second one to enable NVLink, but after all the 4K testing, I'm thinking maybe I should cancel it or stick it in my X99 system that has 2 Asus 1080 cards.
The price is high, but the results speak for themselves.
I'm coming from 1080 SLI which handled my 3440x1440 gaming, sometimes with AA, sometimes without. The RTX 2080 Ti feels like a perfect single card solution for this resolution. 4k/60 will require some settings being turned off, like AA, but that's expected.
If you're looking for 3440x1440 or 4k gaming, this card is for you. If you're gaming on anything less, this will obliterate everything you throw at it with the highest frame rates.

Did they mean 1 TB not 1 GB? lol

1TB SATA though according to MSI's website... Why they're not using NVMe is beyond me.

Escape reality and jump into games and visual experiences with this VIVE Pro headset. Compatible with Windows 8.1 and 10, it brings images and sound to life via your PC, and enhanced ergonomics provide greater comfort in wear. High-impedance headphones faithfully reproduce everything from crashing waves to the sounds of battle. This VIVE Pro headset produces resolutions of up to 2880 x 1660 for incredible detail.This version of the VIVE Pro includes the Head Mounted Display only. You must have controllers and base stations to complete your VR experience.
 

So do you have to get the sensors and controllers,or do they come with that?

There are two ways to buy the Vive Pro. One is the headset itself, intended as an upgrade for people who already own the original Vive. That costs $799. Then there's a complete package with the sensors and controllers, that's selling for $1399. Hope that helps
