Noise and temps look great. Do you think EVGA will send you a FTW3 to test this time around?

Oh boi... that's some serious firepower.
2.5-3x faster than R9 290
Up to* 2x faster than 980Ti/FuryX
*NV/AMD lingo π
Ideal for 2560x1440, and perfectly viable for 4k if you're willing to drop few settings.
Hmm... 25x16 ULTRA or 4K @HIGH settings. Which one gives better IQ?
Proly 4K.

Beast of a card, if I gamed in 4k purely this would be the one for me. Great Review!!!

Yey thanks - been waiting weeks for this review! π

Oh man... nvidia keeps dumping s...t on AMD and there's no hope for change.
Unless someone considers huge Vega delay and announced 4GB\8GB for a good sign.

Nice review, Can't wait for this beast to power my Acer predator x34a!

I am so glad I went for Ultrawide 3440x1440 screen, for me it's the perfect balance of pixel density, work space, and way easyer to drive then 4K while still being very impressive to game in/at.
This also seems the perfect res for the 1080TI - So yeah I'm a very happy camper - apart from the fact I have my setup-refresh planned for June, so a bit of patience required still π
Edit:
Also glad to see aftermarket cooling/boards is/are actually useful this time around compared to the vanilla 1080, which didn't really matter which board/cooling/FE you had, they all clocked roughly the same π€

That's one impressive card. Great performance and the thermals are also impressive. Well done MSI!

Mmmmmm so good.

The review and some posters are suggesting this is overkill for 1080p but in many games the 1080Ti still shows large improvements over the 1080 at 1080p. High Hz monitors are probably about as common for gaming as 1440/4K displays so I think it would be a useful distinction to make.
I realize CPU and maybe even memory bottlenecks are going to be more common at 1080p, especially with the 4.3GHz 2133MHz test setup but even then, the 1080Ti posts over 20% gains in Sniper Elite, Tomb Raider, Gears of War, Ashes, Watch Dogs, The Division, Resident Evil, The Witcher, and Dishonored and is much closer to hitting a 144fps average versus the 1080.

750-800β¬ range? Based on the launch of the 1080 this MSI Gaming X (and most top tier cards) should be priced 100β¬ more than the FE. That's 920β¬ :leave:

Another use at 1080p is 4K DSR for anti aliasing, looks great, pushes the card hard.
And a 1080ti is extremely useful for VR. Its not all about single screen gaming.
