Faster memory gives nice performance boost, Pricing close to 10 Gbps model, Sleek aesthetics, Good overclocking headroom, Excellent cooling performance and low noise, RGB lighting
Red accents mean colour scheme is not neutral, RGB lighting not controllable within Afterburner
There is a danger of sounding repetitive with the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X Plus since it is so similar to last year's Gaming X. However, the key points are worth reiterating for anyone seriously considering upgrading to a GTX 1080.Memory aside, it's still th...
Ideal for a high-res G-Sync display, Ample overclocking headroom, Faster memory helps boost performance, Excellent Twin Frozr VI cooler, Solid build quality throughout, Noise levels kept to a minimum
Pricey for a fourth-rung GPU
Nvidia is continuing its relentless march on high-end graphics with a complete revamp of its top-tier solutions. The Titan Xp is now king of the hill, there's a hard-hitting GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, the older Titan continues to pack a punch, and next down the...
Abstract: After a slow start for the original Fortnite, Epic made some changes and added a free battle royale mode, turning a struggling game into an overnight sensation. There's clearly a fine line between homage and copying, but while there are many...

Great Performance, Great Aesthetics, Runs cool under load, Overclocks great
I've made it no secret that I absolutely love the TWIN FROZR cooler. I've made that clear on several occasions. I would like to see it available with different color combinations. Like black and white or even red and white. That being said, the MSI GAMING...
So going into this we basically knew that with the upgraded memory and an overclock the MSI GTX 11Gbps Gaming X+ would end up being faster than a Founders Edition GTX 1080 with the 10Gbps memory and slower than the GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition. After...
The new PLUS model of the GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming X is offering a small step in additional performance. It is not big enough to justify an upgrade if you are already in that 1070/1080 performance bracket. But with prices on the 1080 cards lowered to 499 U...
Faster (11 Gbps) memory, Full cover backplate, Custom PCB, Zero Frozr technology, Works with old 1080 in SLI
Quite expensive
I wasn't really sure what to expect from this card, because on paper we are only looking at a memory upgrade. It's been a while since my last memory test, so I was quite surprised to see that higher frequency still carries a noticeable impact on performan...
If you didn't pull the trigger on the GeForce GTX 1080 a few months ago, and can't afford the $699+ for the new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, then the faster GTX 1080 with its 8GB of GDDR5X clocked at 11Gbps is a great choice. It offers up to 10% average more perf...
