I'd be more interested if these were single-slot cards. Seriously I don't know why single slots are becoming so rare these days - there ARE reliable coolers for them. I'd rather sacrifice a few degrees in order to access another PCI(e) slot.
I think nvidia needs to start re-working their naming scheme. Ditch the "Ti" branding and just spread out the numbers. But please, nvidia, don't follow the new AMD naming scheme.

Well, currently this is better than having no dedicated GPU... Unless you're from the future, then clearly this card is worse than any 2017 integrated GPU.

Well at least there is a company that is willing to make a single slot card. Since some of us complained about the 740 being a dual slotted card.
