![]() ![]() Every tiny detail of the intricate heatsink plays an essential part in providing a cool & quiet gaming experience. Lurking under the cover of the GAMING graphics card is an engineering masterpiece designed to keep the graphics card cool. This means you can focus on gaming without the noise of spinning fans. It eliminates fan noise by stopping the fans in low-load situations. They also remain virtually silent while spinning under load, keeping your graphics card cool during intense and lengthy gaming sessions.įirst introduced in 2008 by MSI, ZeroFrozr technology has made its mark and is now the industry standard among graphics cards. TORX 2.0 Fan design generates 22% more air pressure for supremely silent performance.ĭouble Ball Bearings give the unique MSI TORX 2.0 Fans a strong and lasting core for years of smooth gaming. Just like in games, the exclusive MSI TORX 2.0 Fan technology uses the power of teamwork to allow the TWIN FROZR VI to achieve new levels of cool. See all of these features and more at the MSI website for the 1080 Ti Gaming X! The use of MIL-STD-810G certified components will allow the card to be more durable during higher stress situations like overclocking and gaming for extended periods. MSI uses their Hi-C Capacitors, Super Ferrite Chokes, and all Japanese solid caps. Last but certainly not least are the use of the Military Class 4 components. Once it hits the fins, their advanced aerodynamics allow that airflow to direct more air onto the TFVI heat pipes and fins to lower temperatures even more. Its function is to bring the heat from the core, to the plate, the flat heatsinks, and finally through the fin array to dissipate the heat. The solid base plate is nickel-plated over copper. This aids in getting the most heat off the toasty part. The TFVI heatsink has five copper heat pipes up to 8 mm thick which have a smooth, squared shape at the bottom in order to maximize contact with the copper base plate. The fans to do not turn on until around the 60C mark so perusing the desktop or even in light loads, the fans won’t even kick on keeping your environment free of that noise until it is truly needed. The TORX 2.0 fan use double ball bearing hubs to keep the fans nearly silent and spinning that way for years.Ĭontinuing on those lines, the TFVI also has the Zero Frozr feature which eliminates fan noise by keeping the fans off in low load situations. ![]() The fans allow more air and pressure to find its way through the heatsink achieving “new levels of cool”. Their special fan design is said to generate “22% more air pressure for supremely silent performance”. The Gaming X uses MSI’s Twin Frozr VI (TFVI) cooling solution which has their TORX 2.0 fans. See more specifications at the MSI website! MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11Gģ584 Shaders, 88 ROPs, and 224 Texture Management UnitsĭisplayPort x 2 (Version 1.4) / HDMI x 2 (Version 2.0) / DL-DVI-DĢ50 W / 2x 8-pin (600 W Recommended Power Supply) About the only other point to note here is the card comes in at 11.4″ long so make sure you have the room in your case to support it. The TwinFrozr VI cooler is a dual slot solution, like its predecessors, using two large (90mm?) Torx 2.0 fans blowing down through the heatsink. Also recommended is a 600 W power supply for the whole system. MSI rates the card as 250 W and requires the use of two 8-Pin PCIe connections to power the card. With the two HDMI ports, the card is “VR Ready”. The Gaming X gives us five outputs: 2x HDMI v2.0, 2x DisplayPort v1.4, and one DVI-DL. As you will see later, there isn’t a real reason not to run this in OC Mode. Gaming mode is set a bit below this at 1544 MHz core and 1657 Mhz boost. Almost a 90 MHz increase on the core and 120 MHz on the memory. The Memory comes in at 11,124 MHz in OC Mode. The Gaming X takes that to up to 1569 MHz Core/1683 MHz Boost in its fastest setting: OC Mode. Whereas the FE comes in at 1480 MHz Core/1582 Boost and 11,010 MHz on the 11 GB GDDRX5 Memory. The GP102-350 Shaders, ROPs, and TMUs remain unchanged at 3,584, 88, and 224 respectively. Read on below to see how it shapes up! Specificationsīelow is the Specifications table showing us everything we want to know about what MSI did to pep up the Gaming X version over FE. They have updated their Twin Frozr cooling solution as well as better goodies on the PCB to deliver a quieter and better performing version of the FE 1080 Ti. MSI sent us the GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G to review. As with nearly every GPU released, the AIB’s get in the game giving us their take. Truth be told, it’s the closest thing to a single GPU solution at 4K resolution with high settings we have, and at a more reasonable price than the Titan XP or Xp or… whatever the new one is called. From that review we concluded it was a beast of a card, even in its Founders Edition form. We saw a couple of weeks ago NVIDIA released the GTX 1080 Ti which we had a chance to review. ![]()
