MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X Graphics Card - Detailed Photos
We've already shared a couple of preview photos on the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X Graphics Card, htis round MSI outted the detailed photos. The photos show the traditional design from MSI with as can be expected, a TwinFrozr VI V cooler.
MSI once again is in full effect to offer you the most silent product available on the market, with the looks to go with it of course. If you look at the photos, you can see the basic design the 1080 Gaming X and Z also has with the nice backplate. The card seems a little bulky though and will definitely eat away two and a half or three PCIe slots. The GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X will get a beefy 8+2 phase power delivery system.
The MSI GTX 1080 TI GAMING X has three overclocking modes, the gaming mode would be the default clocked modus operandus:
| Mode | Base Clock | Boost Clock | Memory Clock |
|---|---|---|---|
| OC Mode | 1569 MHz | 1683 MHz | 11124 MHz |
| Gaming Mode | 1544 MHz | 1657 MHz | 11016 MHz |
| Silent Mode | 1480 MHz | 1582 MHz | 11000 MHz |
The card will be powered by two 8-pin power connectors. If you look closely at the photos you are also seeing a DVI connector, something the reference (FE) cards do not have, yet still is in demand by many. The actually availability of custom 1080 Ti card should roughly be half of April, actually that goes for most vendors really. On the leaks and content you see and have seen as such are preliminary and based on early engineering samples.

I've been been looking at the early pre-order pricing of these custom cards at EBuyer and it looks like they add a £100 price premium over the reference cards here in the UK, £799 vs. £699. Ouch! That's the opposite of the GTX 1080 where the Founder's Edition (a.k.a. reference card) was actually more expensive than the custom GTX 1080 FTW I bought from Amazon for £599 (vs. £630 for the reference).
I really get the impression that NVIDIA are taking the mickey with the pricing of their high-end cards, mainly because they have absolutely no competition from AMD.
Then it's not Nvidia taking the mickey, it's the AIB manufacturers.
But I never believed the custom cards would be cheaper in this case, Always expected the FEs to be around £750 and the AIBs to be a tonne more expensive. So actually pleasantly surprised I was £50 out in the right direction.

Beautiful card. Will be mine. It is too bad though the heatpipes on the side don't come out anymore, like they did before. It made it more aggressive looking.
As for availability. I am hearing the third party cards are coming very soon. There will be limited stock this month, but better stocking in April.
As usual, F5.

Lets hope VEGA has something to say about that... for the prices if not brand loyalties.

I didn't care about a bling bling RGB led computer so I drilled a 200mm hole in front of my SLI setup in the plexi window, placed a coolermaster 200mm fan in front of them with not dustfilter, not even a grill hole+fan that's it
they have nearly zero dust on top of them and the fins and fans on the underside are even after months as new..zero dust on them
this probably has to do with my airflow (5 fans pushing cold air in including aio cpu cooler, 2 pushing hot air out top rear ) but just saying it can be more than ok
and my room is very (dirty) dusty so if it's ok with me it can def be for you unless you live in the desert lol
I don't like the holes on the PCB plate... they do look cool but dust will inevitably settle in
