I have been pretty obsessed with the turing cards since they came out. RTX2070 is just an incredible value.
The 2080 TI is more for the tensor cores and the best for real time ray tracing. For a trading computer it would be no difference really.
I think I am going to build an i7 6 core / RTX2070.
I know I am going to get an occulus rift too if I have a sweet VR machine.
The one big difference I see between the amateur screen set ups and pro set ups are the number of charts vs ladders. Amateur set ups have far more charts, pro set ups have more of a balance. I'm about 60/40 ladders to charts, I probably should have a few more charts for 50/50, but some of my strategies don't require a chart rather simply staring at the order book. Food for thought. Good luck to everybody posting up their trading desks, some really cool set ups out there.
