10Gbps Ethernet for mainstream is nice, however it wont give speed boost as of now, as most of the infrastracture is 1Gbps at top.

Is this monitor a HDR version?

hohoho, cannot wait to see some thermal imaging of the Poseidon card!

I don't trust hybrid cooling like that. If you want to WC get a waterblock, if you don't want to WC then you're probably a lot better off getting a cooler without a big empty void in it

the 980Ti is pretty good. GPU temp is below 50 at 1500 Mhz (3770K CPU is in the same loop at 4.8Ghz) Some airflow never hurts with all the other stuff on the PCB. and it's inaudible of course. much easier to sell with the fan and was like 30 euros dearer than a normal air cooled 980Ti (And I didn't have my water set up for a while, so it turned to be really handy!)

Wake me when you get that many of us want 16:10! Then I'll gladly throw money at you. Kill 16:9 while you're at it, wider is only better in my spreadsheets and I don't spend much time on them other than at work I NEVER watch movies on a monitor either. That is what I have a 65in samsung (and a 61in also). Movies on PC? Crazy talk.

Got to assume it's for anyone looking to make use of 10Gbps within their LAN.

If I had unlimited money, I'd be up for playing around with in-home streaming and NVMe SSDs in RAID 0 over 10Gbps ethernet, but the cost:benefit puts it right at the bottom of the pile at the moment.

Seems like a strange direction for ASUS to go with a "Republic of Gamers" product; I would've thought they'd leave the 10Gb stuff to the big networking players like Cisco & Netgear until there's wider adoption.
