      New Nvidia cards debut

      Crazy expensive, could mean 1080/1080ti wont see price drop.

      The prices aren't that bad, $1000 and $700 is borderline cheap.

      Borderline.

        False. In fact, they are 200 dollars more at launch than the 1080 cards they replace.

          They aren't replacing them. Side by side. One for raster, one for ray tracing. GTX and RTX lines.

                  That's great if you are running it on a PoS from the 90s.

                    @obsolesce I know most machines have over 4gb of ram these days, but still nice to see a lower footprint..

                      Well no quite , POS in the 90s barely got over 1 GB of RAM.

                        Smeg off, my first PC in 1994 was a 486DX2/80 and I didn't have enough cash for the big 500MB HDD I later bought. But I did have 4x 256MB sticks of RAM in it!

                          @jaredbusch I had an olivetti 486dx2 66, it was grey and I'm sure it had a turbo button on it, defiantly didn't have that much ram in it though.

                            Which was great then but usually they didn’t come by default like that. Plus in those days the CPU did the video as well, unless you had one of those non integrated video card (you might as well had it too). I just remembered in 1995 my pc was a Pentium S with 128 MB of RAM and Windows 95.

                                      I got to use an XT, as well, but not an AT. I knew the AT well, but only from reputation and magazines and such.

This is technically an old flaw, but it remains unpatched. Not an easily exploited one either, but something to be aware of.

                                            Agreed, it suggests that DefCon knew that hacking the real thing was too hard, so this actually implies to people hearing about it that voting machines are so secure that they can't be hacked at DefCon.
