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.

They look thicker too, more effective then?
Guessing those are for the GPU, more heat from this one than the 1080 thus bigger piping?
(Probably don't want to accidentally touch that largest partially exposed one then heh.

I'm sure as the 1080 Ti is hotter it was a change made for efficiency.

I dont get it, why dual HDMI, i think tripple DP was better and one HDMI was enough.

Connectivity without shipping a bunch of adapters with the product I guess, same with DVI perhaps as I assume a fully open top row for heat dissipation would be at least a little bit more effective though air coolers like this at least from my understanding of it will still leak or well vent some of the hot air into the chassi itself compared to blowers.
Guess water might become inevitable eventually unless some improvements are made? Well I don't know much about this but heavy dual or even tri-slot designs are a bit cumbersome for one thing.
(Although ready made water coolers like say the Fury X might not be the best performers either.)

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.
Looks like they changed the orientation of the heatpipes. Look more efficient when compared to the 1080.
