In with all of the CPU bottlenecking chat... I have a 2500K but kind of want to wait to build another PC next year. Any reason I couldn’t plug a 1080Ti into that for now and take it into my new computer? It’s a P8P67-M PRO (REV 3.0) and looks like it has PCI Express 2.0. I game at 3440x1400 and my :airquote: mobile 1060 :airquote: in another computer sucks with that

I noticed Amazon has EVGA 2080s ready to order today after putting them on my watchlist last night.

Well I got my EVGA 2080 and a new 750W power supply and tried to install it in my P67 chipset running an i5-2500K. I can't get it to POST, and it just pops up the "Press <KEY> to enter BIOS", can't go in, and if you let it go long enough the screen turns black like it's going to boot and then:


(the computer hard locks at this point, numlock doesn't even toggle on the keyboard)

Swapping back the old card works and boots Windows... the behavior is the same on different outputs (I've tried DP and HDMI) and if I don't connect the extra power connectors at all, although I think I've got that nailed now. Anyone have any advice before I just say gently caress this and buy a new mainboard? I was really hoping that Z390 announcement was any day now...

I'm trying to help an employee who needs to drive 3 more screens at work for a total of 6. We have Lenovo X1s and his model tops out at 3, newer ones 4. We all have Thunderbolt docks so I was thinking about just getting a GPU chassis and putting something in there.

What would be a professional-looking (non-gamer) setup be? I really just want a small black enclosure that can connect via TB and have a GPU with 3-4 ports. This will not be used for gaming and needs to be quiet (it's just going to push the windows compositor around all day on 3-4 monitors).
