MSI To Release GTX 1080 Ti Lightning Z & Gaming X card with USB Type C connector
MSI has presented a stack of products they will be showing at Computex. Since we develop MSI AfterBurner, we already know about the Lightning. The new model will be called the Lightning Z and will see a few new voltage options as well.
In the press release MSI states the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Lightning Z graphics card combines groundbreaking new technology with proven features such as TriFrozr, TORX 2.0 Fan, Military Class 4 components and Mystic Light. Btw the photo that is brought into circulation at the usual leaking clickbait sites, is not accurate.
Next to that, MSI will also be releasing a GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X 11G Graphics Card with USB Type C connector. MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X 11G features Pascal-powered graphics and MSI’s exclusive TWIN FROZR VI Thermal Design to deliver cool and quiet gaming graphics with unprecedented performance and power efficiency. With a USB Type C, the interface support is even more flexible. Some some monitors already offer the interface adn paired with a graphics card it can function and use a broad display protocols like passing DisplayPort, Thunderbolt and HDMI. So basically thunderbolt or any other USB-C configuration (DP, HDMI) for the display signal.
More next week.

One of my favorite things about USB-C is it doesn't matter which orientation you plug it in.

It's been a while since I last saw a MSI Lightning card, I even thought MSI abandoned the line, so great it's not the case!
Looking forward to see the new cooler and color scheme!

I personally am not fond of USB-C. It's over-ambitious. I don't want a single cable that is literally universal - too much can go wrong with that. I'm open to the idea of a universal digital host-to-host signal cable, but USB-C is much more than that, and it's the extra stuff that worries me.
There's a reason we have gone decades (arguably over a century) using different types of connectors for different purposes. Some of these things USB-C will over-complicate, such as power distribution, cable length, and reliably intelligent signal translation. Users are inevitably either going to experience confusion or hardware issues.
Anyway, I'm fine with the idea of USB-C working as a display connector, I'm just expressing my opinion in response to others stating their views on USB-C.
USB-C is a god send for cell phones. I really hope External drives use it as well soon. Its a much better and stronger connector.
Better offer much better argument about your complications of USB-C. My steps sons chrome book was able to charge off of his USB 3.0 port on his computer with my USB 3.0 Type C cable.

I'm fine with its uses for things like phones. What I especially don't like is using it for analog signals, daisy chaining, cable length limitations, and supplying more than 15W of power.
