Do they still make aftermarket recorders for TV? My mom live in a senior living complex and they provide cable with no box so a Cox DVR is out of the question. I am looking for one that can record more than one show at a time, if they exist.

The launch is a joke because cost is terrible and the tech isn't even really available yet 

You aren't just paying for Ray tracing.

The Tensor cores enable use of a few near techs that have almost as much impact as Ray Tracing. DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) offer huge improvements in rendor time and image quality.

I know all of that but nobody has that yet. That's what I'm saying. The tech isn't out yet and doesn't look to be anytime this year. Why make 3 models with the RTX branding? Just make the Ti the RTX and everything below a regular GTX and get generational improvements with the same cost value. I think they screwed themselves because if you don't think DLSS or Ray tracing are coming soon, just buy a 1080 Ti that is cheaper. I know I keep repeating the same thing but it really is my main point. Why buy a 2080 if the 1080 Ti is cheaper and in some cases better? Especially right now when black friday is coming and people have been waiting for the cards. They are gonna be dissapointed that the cards are more money but offer the same performance in 1440p and 4k (excluding the 2080 Ti).

Found my truck abadoned. Windows down and filled with rain water. Outside of that nothing. Took nothing. Insurance covers a total look over and cleaning.

They did leave the radio station on 93.3. Locals in BR/NO will understand.

Check your engine bay and exhaust, and make sure they didn't mess with anything.

Nothing I can see. They are obviously highschool kids the more I watch the videos. They just got that "still growing skinny look"

Insurance is doing a full sweep.

Wasn't sure if this is the right place, but didn't want to start a thread first and get blasted.

I'm looking for a new laptop, but wanted to get into the gaming world and was thinking about a gaming laptop but wanted this boards thoughts on them? Some of your picks for the top ones?

Was wanting to get a head start on the research before Black Friday and Cyber Monday

Go ahead and make a thread. It's probably been done a million times but times change and people are lazy at looking. I don't mind the same topics as long as the parameters are different.

Probably around $1,500 tag right now. $1,000 would be preferred before the Thanksgiving sales hit

I don't know where that's gonna get me or if that's enough for something of solid enough quality

MSI GP63

Probably the best bang for your buck right now, 15'6" full HD 120Hz panel with a GTX 1070, 8th gen i7 6 core CPU, 16GB DDR4, 128GB SSD + 1TB SSHD and perfect reviews.

Anything else around that price range and even above is going to drop down to a 1060.

If you're okay with a 6GB 1060 GPU, this MSI Stealth is very thin light and portable and all metal very premium

Newegg is running a deal right now where you get a free EVGA 600W Bronze PSU when you buy an EVGA 1060 or higher.
