Nice graphics power for 4K resolution. The MSI cooling works great and is very quiet. Under low usage it spins down and when it spins up the sound is minimal. The MSI gaming app works but I did have some issues with it on a different MSI card.

After replacing my MSI 980 with this card, I can now finally play the latest gen games in 4k with almost all settings at max. This card is easily overclockable, and will handle almost anything you throw at it. Not to mention it looks beautiful in my case.

It may be overpriced compared to similar boards but at only 280mm long it makes for a very powerfull ITX build.

Super Fast - Hit 1949Mhz on Boost out of the box Quiet - Never even notice when the fan kicks in...if ever Cool - Never went past 62C playing Quantum Break @ 4k/Ultra Oculus CV1 experience is much better compared to my GTX970

MSI's GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G is a well-built, blistering video card that's hard to fault for any modern demand: 4K gaming, VR. Our only quibble was availability at this writing.

Runs cool and quiet; Better performance than the GTX 1080 Founders Edition; Mature software; Snazzy RGB lighting

At time of review; hard to find; Not quite as fast as Zotac's top GTX 1080 card; One LED is locked on red

The race to produce the best premium graphics card is on. Competitors in said race need to be an Nvidia partner, for the GeForce GTX 1080, released last month, is the head honcho. We've already seen Asus and Inno3D have a go and offer something slightly different to each other.

Beautiful build quality; LEDs work well; Fans turn off at idle; Very; very quiet under load; Software OC mode

Limited OC potential on core

Obviously Nvidia unleashed Fury (pun intended) with their 16nm Pascal processors. They nailed it performance, TDP and temps wise, but unfortunately did price the 1080 series very steep.

In case you weren't aware, there's a new graphics card king in town – the GTX 1080 – and it's only natural to see Nvidia's board partners get heavily involved. Being top of the food chain always means high pricing in the hardware market, and a lack of competition from AMD means the GTX 1080 is...

Are you having a hard time keeping up with the name changes of your favorite products? If you're not, I surely am and I evaluate products from different manufacturers every day. The funny thing is it's not only one manufacturer that's doing this it's all of them.

Ability to Overclock; Comes with backplate; Low Power Consumption; 180W Gaming TDP; Price Point; Performance; Aesthetically Pleasing Appearance; Low Overall Temperatures; Barely Audible Fan Noise; SLI Capability; RGB LED; Well Thought Out Gaming APP
