If you upgrade one of your servers to a RTX 2070 GPU you have my ok…
I’m confused, is this for an individual or a network team?
is it matter? atm I’m the only who work on xx.
My final HW setup for XX network is:
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900
RAM: 64GB DDR4 3600Mhz
NVME: 1TB AORUS NVMe Pci-e 4.0 750k/700k Random R/W IOPS
GPU: Palit RTX 2070 Super
Server is ready and will be installed to it’s final location in a next few days.

Node is finally online, co-located in small data-center in Moscow, in the heart of Russian internet - Kurchatov Institute, directly on MSK-IX.

Did you deploy the graphics card now? I’m asking, because your stats are not very good right now and suggest that your server either runs without a GPU or that there is something wrong with your configuration.
server is with 2070 super, there were issue with drivers, fixed already.
