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.

why would one want to charge the phone with there gpu...
I dont really see why a gpu need usb port, less monitor start using said port to feed the video to it, but we already have HDMI and DP do we need another? seeing as the industry is leaning on HDMI HARD i doubt we need another, Personally i would happy if manufactuers drop DVI, just 3xDP and 2xHDMI would be ideal, make a HDMI to DVI adapter for people that still want to use their old monitors.
On topic, very interested on the lightning, it was the quietest GTX980Ti, hope MSI continues their trend of great performance and relatively quiet operation.

I dont think we will see HDMI being dropped in favor of DP, to many tv related things use it, among those receivers, tv, projectors, dvd/blue ray players, etc, and im fine having 2 standards, the open DP for PCs, and TV related HDMI, just the past ones need to disappear.
