MSI Teases GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z again - Carbon backplate
Remember a while ago when we posted a photo from MSI who was teasing a photo on their social media, it showed absolutely nothing you can make from it. However, they have been stating that a new flagship is inbound. A new tease has been posted, it looks like the lighting is going Carbon fiber.
So a flagship, of course, would be the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning and this the photo has to be released to that. It shows a carbon fiber plating, and not a fake sticker one. That could be a GPU shroud or simply the casing? The enw teaser shows the backplate will be based on a carbon-fiber texture. We expect the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z to be announced at CES 2019.

Let's hope it's not actual carbon fiber but rather an aesthetic, as actual carbon fiber would be terrible for thermal performance compared to the standard metal shields.

Actually, I said it was a Mercedes Car interior, and then someone corrected me after I worked it out was a car that it was from a BMW
We worked it out, but has nothing to do with a GPU or anything.
As for Carbon Fibre - does anyone care? It's about 15grams if that.
PRICE of manufacture of carbon fiber = $10 to $20 per pound = $22.046 to $44.092 per Kilogram
