Dear god Hilbert your are hard at work thx for this review a very nice card from Msi and lovely cooler design.
At page 9 you have made a slight mistake highlighting a 1070 instead of the 1080 in the temp graph.
Ah thanks, fixed that.

Cooler with "balls of steel"
. Shame with 10 power phases and superior cooling doesnt OC much better than FE.

I spotted it this morning for € 750, but due to low volume availability retailers will easily inflate that to € 800 in most shops.

Hmm the 1080 / recent drivers really seem to like OpenGL more than I thought.
Great review, thanks Hilbert!

Dont say I told you so.. But nah all were like bla bla.
Even Chispy said it later when the OCers started to play with it.. 2ghz is as good as it gets, custom will be cooler thats about it.
unfortionally the OC isn't anything near the 2.2 mark I had hoped for, also the boost doesn't seem to be too stable. Let's hope amd forces nvidia prices to go down. This card is not worth 800€. I got 2 980s for 1100€ 2 years ago. You do get the same performance ( little less) than that in 1 card for 37.5% cheaper, but in 2 years you would expect a better price/performance ratio....

So now all we need is for AMDs RX480 to be as powerful as they claim and keep it's low price and have good availability. Otherwise the prices of these cards will stay ridiculous ..

I guess Maxwell as the 'end' of the node was at it's best, we will see OC headroom increasing when current nodes improve in manufacturing I think.
But I seriously don't understand why they want to hit 2.2 with it besides the true overclockers, it's already a damn big jump from ~1.6 max with Maxwell's cards. Performance seems to be okay... so what about it?
Still, I am looking forward to what the people can get out of better power delivery for instance. The 1070 and 1080 will probably get revisions over time because they will stick with us until 2018 I guess, 2017 being big Pascal's year.

But boohoo cannot oc to 2020202ghz it sucks balls.
I want to see what I can buy Q4 this year. Going to be spending quite a bit money.

I like. For me, it's a toss up between this MSi card and the EVGA 1080 FTW model. I'm leaning towards the EVGA card.
Hilbert, will you be doing a review on the FTW? ...still no love from EVGA?

Still trying to see how you guys are saying this is underwhelming?!?!
Look at this card compared to the 780Ti! It's quantum leaps faster.
Great review as always boss.
