MSI has a full court press going on at CES covering new Optix gaming monitors, graphics cards, motherboards, and desktops. We got some CES 2018 booth pics which cover a little of bit of everything that MSI is showing off.

Check out all the showfloor booth pics.

Las Vegas, NV - January 8, 2018 – MSI, a world leader in gaming hardware, launches three brand-new gaming products at CES 2018, and will display two other CES Innovation Award Honorees. The CES 2018 Innovation Award Honorees include the Trident 3 Arctic, the new Z370 GODLIKE GAMING motherboard, new GTX 1080TI Lightning Graphics Card, Infinite X gaming desktop and new Optix MPG27CQ gaming monitor. The Trident 3 Arctic was also awarded a "Best of Innovation at Gaming" award. With these products, MSI affirms its position at the head of the high-end gaming market, bringing gamers all over the world the latest and greatest technologies.

Keep in mind that CES is very much internationally covered, so not all that you see if NA products. While that is not my personal style, it has a really good Voltron feel going on with it.
 
Was excited to see the monitors until I saw it was 27in 1080p res........damnit 27in is supposed to be 1440p.....

I don't get it either but from what i can tell, there are two camps buying high end displays. Computer enthusiasts and gamers. The later doesn't care about resolution, only refresh-rate. That's the only way I can make sense of it.

Obviously there are people in between but those are the two extremes.
 
Fixed that quote for you ;) since that case has no motherboard or cpu.... I'd wager the raspberry pi is infinitely more powerful.
Actually it does. The entire PC is inside the PSU. But you would have needed to actually read the page that was linked to it to know that.

To be pedantic, assuming no pc was hiding in the psu, infinity x zero is still zero.
 
Why can't RGB die in a fire already? I am surprised that no one is showing off a disco ball in a case yet.

I think it is one of the best things to come about to the PC market. If you don't like it turn it off, good no RGB. If you want to match all your components and accessories turn them to whatever color you like, even white if you want it to be conservative. If you are looking for something gaudy then you obviously have options. Also I think it has encouraged more component makers to use more neutral colors and then use RGB to do the customizing. All these seem like good things for flexibility and resale of products.

The problem is that RGB isn't free, it costs money. At least I can get components that are lighting free (but they are becoming harder and harder to find components without some sort of lighting, some of which you can't turn off). I don't want to see or hear my PC. I just want it to work. That's why I have a big black (windowless) box that has sound dampening.

The cost is negligible its literally being built into the chipset components and PCBs that is why you are finding it harder and harder to find things without them. If you can get a part cheaper without it then just buy that. But even without RGB you are still running traces, wires, and LEDs. Its literally just switching components out which doesn't cost hardly anything more. Its just like when Intel integrates any part, say a new USB standard into the chipset, once that happens every motherboard from there on out gets those new USB ports because now its basically a free upgrade.

I am just hoping that the industry settles on a standard interface for controlling RGB LEDs so that all of our parts will be able to be synchronized and interchangeable soon.

Except to get a ratio of power, you would divide one by the other not multiple, to be pendantic ;). To find out how much more powerful 300HP is than 100HP, you'd go 300HP / 100HP = 3. Multiply by 100 and oh it's 300% or triple the output. 1Gigaflop / 0 gigaflops = infinity as a division by zero results in an infinite discontinuity. You wouldn't multiple 300HP * 100HP to find out how much more powerful a 300HP engine is than a 100HP engine. Of course, ignoring torque, tire size, road/tire coefficients of friction and all those other confounding factors.

Solution is zero.

1/0 = undefined
 
Solution is zero.

1/0 = undefined
You're literately contradicting yourself. The solution is not both zero and undefined at the same time.

Anyways limit as x approaches 0 from the right of 1/x is infinity. So infinity once again. Not zero but you can double down on being wrong mathematically. Idc.
 
I'd love MSI "showing off" bios fixes for recent vulnerabilities going back to Sandy Bridge....

0/1 is 0
