MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Makes a Camera Appearance

We obtained three photos of the upcoming MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X. 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 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 don't really care about the 1080Ti (My 980Ti Gaming X still works fine), but I wonder where you can order that red fluffy dragon ?

It seems the Heatsink is much more bulky than the one used in the GTX1070/1080.

Thought it was kind of funny this happened...a neighbor just bought a new desktop PC from Dell (yesterday) with 8GBs ram, a 1 TB hard drive, and an A10-8700p AMD APU, USB 3.0 support, a 3-year Dell premium onsite warranty, Realtek sound and networking, including wireless and bluetooth connectivity, & more, plus a Dell 24" HDMI gaming monitor, including shipping and tax, for about the same price as this GTX 1080 Ti... I know that my neighbor's new system is really entry level--but still--it was something to ponder. 'Course, now, if I was still in my 20's with money to burn, well...

My... PRECIOOOOUS! :eyebrows:

I'm pretty surprised that it won't look exactly like my 1070 (or 1080), so that must mean the 1080Ti does generate quite a bit more heat under the hood. Either way, I don't mind 3 slot designs anymore ever since I dropped SLI. Can't wait...
