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.

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

Do you know the price (estimated) of this card ?

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

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 ..

It looks nice. kosh_neranek you are joking right? 😀 that must be a sarcastic comment.

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.

Hilbert, as always great job! Will be very interesting to read this now 🙂

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?

That's just f'n yummy that is.
Always loved what MSI does with their cooler designs in red and black, can't be beaten.

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.
