MSI also teases Custom GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
MSI is teasing the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X edition. The graphics card obviously comes all customized and is paired with a TwiNFrozr based cooler and two fans.
Nvidia yesterday announced the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, the new high-end GTX 1080 Ti features 3584 CUDA Cores, 224 Texture Units, a 352-bit memory controller and 11 GB of GDDR5X memory. The card should be faster than a reference Titan X and 30% faster compared to a GTX 1080.
The card has the same "GP102" GPU as the TITAN X Pascal, the GTX 1080 Ti but was slighty cut-down. Interesting is the 352-bit with GDDR5X memory interface, this was not expected. This translates to 11 memory chips on the card which run at 11 GHz (GDDR5X-effective), the memory bandwidth is 484 GB/s. Thiis means the ROP count is would be 88 (from 96 on the TITAN X Pascal), and the TMU count 224.The Ti will boost up to 1600 MHz, but the overclocking potential is much like all GeForce Pascal cards in the 2 GHz range. The GTX 1080 Ti has 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors and TDP around 220 W.
It will be intersting to see what clock freqeuncies the board partners cards will get.

You would be better off getting an asrock board, since their power design is a bit better, offers more phases and vrm quality right now seems to be better than what others offer.
Get the 1700, add a 240 aio and clock it to 4ghz...
Hmm I checked out their boards http://www.asrock.com/mb/index.asp#AM4 they do look solid, I like them.
The reason I went with the MSI board is I want to go RAID1 with two M.2 slots
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X370-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html#productFeature-section I think you can do the same thing on the Asrock mobos though. Now I am wondering if the Asrock have the slots in a better location heat wise? Since they are so dependent on heat for performance maybe the MSI location right beside the main GPU may be an issue.
I am a indie game dev most of the day so I need make sure I don't loose any of my work with a drive dying that is why I want to go max speed and mirror with the M.2. I build Visual Studio more than a 1000 times a day so the speed of the M.2 and the 16 thread will be massive to save time on my work.
Of course for my gaming in multi screen 5760x1080 it will own as well

So its a tough call, not sure which to get. I have had a MSI mobo its bios and board is real nice I think I like it better than Asus to tell you the truth. Have you had Asrock before(see you rocking a nice Asus board currently), how was it?

I hope they now use main cooler to cool down VRM, 1070/1080 Gaming X had HUGE defect rate due VRM overheat, also their cooler is far from best, its small and fan are slow/silent, due that whole card heat a lot!

The reason i wont begoing MSI ever again is due to the fact i have two MSI 970 Gaming cards... Both should be the same but due to revision... ones about a half inch shorter and does not have the black brace that the other one does. in SLI they look like different GPUS all together. Planning to pic what ever non stock gpu that does not have any video ports in the second slot. wanting to finally have again a waterblocked gpu that takes up only 1 to 1.5 slots. would be sexy.
