I saw it. The ultimate mobile rig. I don't know why someone else didn't do it. There are many companies that make custom music gear cases. It wouldn't be hard for them to manufacture custom case to hold rig in it.

Looks nice, to bad though that from my experience the board will be practically useless after 12 months leaving you dealing with the shockingly poor customer services.

MSI's customer services isn't that good either but touch wood only ever had to deal with them once, in the last 10 years compared to Asus which has been every 12 months or so with multiple boards bought for myself or people who want, a specific motherboard no matter how much I try to convince to them look elsewhere.

Oh you don't know bad customer service. In my country customer service is provided by the seller. They usually aren't official distributors for products, and probably get their stock under the counter somewhere. They are also obligated by law only to inform you within 2 weeks what is the current state of your RMAed part. Replacement, or repair does not have limit. I waited for HDD replacement almost 2 months. And what is covered by warranty is changing daily. So basically they replace your part if they feel like it.
 
The master of controversy, HARDOCP, has released a full review of the MSI RTX 2070 Gaming Z (performs up to 19% faster than an aftermarket GTX 1080).

The interesting bit is his update post at the bottom of the conclusion.

He's been asked to take it down of course, but refuses to. Because he didn't sign any NDA's, he feels he's covered and sourced the card by other means.

Apparently AMD has implemented a new 'gaming mode' in the TR2 WX processors called Dynamic Local Mode. They're quoting up to 47% performance gains in certain games. From the way I understand it, by offloading application threads that are most demanding to the CPU cores that have direct access to system DRAM, they can improve performance in applications that benefit from multithreading. However only the WX processors have the ability to choose between accessing memory directly or from the Infinity Fabric.

It's totally understandable, MSI is no doubt getting a lot of pressure from Nvidia over this.

Definitely. I personally don't agree with hurting the innocent to spite the guilty, but each to his own. And I guess you could argue that he's simply releasing content when he feels like it, which he is apparently entitled to do.

From Nvidia's perspective, they do not know that MSI didn't supply Hard OCP. Hard OCP's clarification will help in this regard, but they somehow got access to pre-release drivers, which means that somebody messed up somewhere.

What comes to mind is the Intel Kaby Lake series, where reviews released months in advance from multiple outlets. In that case, plenty of early reviews redacted information so that they did not implicate any motherboard makers. There are ways of releasing early reviews without burning bridges with any AIB partners or PC reps, assuming that you got access to hardware without an NDA.

Regardless, the question Nvidia will be asking themselves is how HardOCP got a driver to run the graphics card. It's not like pre-release drivers are just sitting around.

If he didn't sign the NDA Nvidia can't touch him legally. But they have other means to make your life living hell. They will rip the souls of those who sourced the GPU.

But couldn't they just use a current RTX driver?
 
Probably nothing but I was nosing around AMD's site and something caught my eye that made me think PS5 is going to get the Ryzen treat, Note the controller.

Heck the Ryzen APUs now would be so much better than anything the consoles got. GPU might not be as great as the One X but they'll definitely more than makeup for it with the CPU power being like 10x as great. So it wouldn't surprise me if they got the Ryzen treatment
