MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Teased

btarunr · Mar 2, 2017

It looks like NVIDIA's add-in card (AIC) partners have been given a free hand to put out teaser images of their upcoming custom-design GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards. Earlier today, we caught the ASUS GTX 1080 Ti ROG STRIX, and now we get a glimpse of MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X. There's not much to see in the teaser-image, except the company's racy TwinFrozr VI cooler strapped on to what we spy to be a custom-design PCB. This appears to be MSI's topmost trim of the TwinFrozr VI, given that NVIDIA put in some work on improving its reference-design NVTTM (NVIDIA Time-to-market) cooler, with a vapor-chamber plate, and a dual-FET VRM design the lowers VRM temperatures. If there's a Gaming X card, then there is bound to be a pricier Gaming Z in the works, and a slightly affordable Gaming (non-X).

Regardless of what it looks like, it's a damned fine heatsink and cooler (as in, it works stupendously with a low noise output)! It's hidden anyway because it faces down. You do get to see the nice heat pipes on the side, though,

Show some lightning already! :=)

Same as they have been putting on every card of the last generation(s).
Im sure its good but could they not do ANYTHING to change the look a bit? hell even just colors could mix it up....

Is a very good cooler. My card is dead silent under heavy load.
I'm more concerned about the discreet coil whine those MSI Twin Frzr cards give. I had this issue on both MSI 780Ti and now the MSI 1080.

Glad I don't even have any hint of coil whine

why so you can pay more and overclock it to strikingly similar clocks fighting the same nvidia imposed limits? You go boy... drop that extra hundo and don't take it cold...

They are different coolers under the same shroud though.

I posted the above knowingly what some would pick up and use against me

I just like the buildquality. Have had a couple of Lightningcards the past years. Bought as democards though as I too find the initial cost (way) too high

In Denmark the 980TI Lightnings made sense to buy when they were released as their price went up more than 1000DKR(divide by 7,5 for euro and 7 for dollars) before supplies went dry
