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.

Oh the good old times when MSI was allowed to put double the VRAM on their cards (580 Lightning XE with 3GB instead of the usual 1.5).... I miss those days, best GPU buy ever for me

I'll see for reviews and board layouts from the partners, but MSI already is on the short list

So basically you're saying you'd like 22 GB of graphics memory here :hatty:

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!

Would love to see more info on this, i have bought a MSI GTX980, GTX980Ti and GTX1080, and i never had any issues with the VRM, in fact there is a big frontal plate that cools the memory and the plates with the air that passes through the cooler, it seems to work fine, but would be interested on cases where they say otherwise.

MOAR COARES! :bugeye:

Wait, that was something different...

On a more serious note, I was more referring to the cards that are heavily improved compared to the reference board layouts, not just a better cooler, but better components and probably, a few neat features for the die hards. And I want them to take more voltage for us H2O fans

Just use IR temp reader, first of all some heat pipes have higher temp then the GPU sensor report, which should be impossible, also VRM temp is higher then the GPU one

That plate is just thin and the cooler airflow is just low to keep it cold, sure you can fix that with manual fan settings of 70-80% fan speed, the ppl using MSI 1070 for cuda works learned it bad way, many cards dies due VRM overheat or bad quality on auto fan speed
I had one die on auto fan speed (GPU temp was 77-80C) now I keep it below 65C with manual fan settings

For instance Gainward/Palit (phoenix, gamerock) use main block cooler to cool down GPU+VRM+memory no stupid thin plate for mem/VRM, and that card is fine up to 90C on GPU because both VRM/mem then are at same or lower temperature
