MSI release the specifications of their GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X

MSI has now released the specifications of their GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X, offering a large cooler design and a beefy 8+2 phase power delivery system.

While this GPU’s Twin Frozr VI cooler may look immediately familiar to MSI fans, it is worth noting that this GPU comes with some significant upgrades when compared to its other GTX 10-series counterparts, with a larger finstack, a thickness of 2.5 PCI slots and a new heatpipe configuration.

We can also see that the main body of this GPU’s heatsink is also connected to the GPU’s VRMs, ensuring that the power delivery system of this GPU will remain adequately cooled at all times. We can also see that this GPU will use both front and rear plates to protect the PCB from damage and to provide additional passive cooling and rigidity to the GPU as a whole.

Below are the known clock speeds of MSI’s GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X when using MSI’s OC mode. The GPU also features “silent” and “gaming” profiles.

	GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition	MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X
GPU Architecture	Pascal	Pascal

Power Connection	1x 8-pin 1x 6-pin	2x 8-pin
PCI Express	PCIe 3.0	PCIe 3.0

To put things simply, MSI has done a lot more than just release a GTX 1080 with Nvidia’s latest GTX 1080 Ti GPU core but has given their Twin Frozr VI cooler a total redesign, offering a lot more cooling potential and ensuring that Nvidia’s 250W GP-102 GPU core can offer the best performance while under the most stressing of gaming loads.
