    From the manufacturer

    Innovative TORX 2.0 Fan Technology

    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.

    TORX 2.0 Fan design generates 22% more air pressure for supremely silent performance in the heat of battle.

    Double Ball Bearings

    Double Ball Bearings give the unique MSI TORX 2.0 Fans a strong and lasting core for years of smooth gaming. They also remain virtually silent while spinning under load, keeping your graphics card cool during intense and lengthy gaming sessions.

    (MSI 1060 GAMING model does not have Double Ball Bearings).

    Premium Thermal Compound with Smooth Heat Pipes

    Every detail counts when it comes to creating the ultimate thermal design, which is why TWIN FROZR VI uses a premium thermal compound to make sure it outlives the competition. Also include up to 8mm thick copper heat pipes to maximize heat transfer.

    Customized LED

    Each LED can be controlled individually by choosing any of the animation effects available in the MSI Gaming App, ranging from responding to your game sounds or music to steady light, breathing and flashing. Of course, you can also turn them off.

    Advance Zero Frozr Technology

    First introduced in 2008 by MSI, ZeroFrozr technology has made its mark and is now the industry standard among graphics cards. It eliminates fan noise by stopping the fans in low-load situations. This means you can focus on gaming without the noise of spinning fans.

    A cool, silent, and well-performing 1080 card
    4 Stars
    A cool, silent, and well-performing 1080 card
    Let me start off by saying, that this card was not my first choice. I was initially holding out for an EVGA FTW 1080, but decided to pay a bit extra ($729) for the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X, because I grew tired of waiting. After a few days of owning this card, I couldn't be happier.Cooling and silence are the main focus of my build, and the Twin Frozr VI fans do a fantastic job at keeping the GPU frosty cool, and whisper-silent while gaming. Better yet, the fans turn off completely at temperatures below 60 degrees. The highest temperature I've seen from this card while testing Firestrike Ultra was 73 degrees - well below the throttling temperature. Also, the fan noise at at this point is like a slight rushing of air. In comparison, my previous build, which included dual GTX 780s in SLI would've sounded like a low-powered vacuum cleaner, while the temperatures would soar above 85 degrees.Needless to say, this card obliterates any game at 1080p. Witcher 3 and GTA V run around 80 to 100 fps with everything maxed out. At 1440p, framerates stay well above 60 fps.I haven't tested the limits of overclocking on this card, but it seems to overclock fairly well as far as Pascal is concerned. I have been able to achieve a stable 2,100 MHz on the Core Clock, but dialed it down to 1,900 MHz after a few hours of gaming. In my opinion, unless you're gaming at 4K on the highest possible settings, the extra overclock on this card is just overkill.All in all, the MSI 1080 Gaming X is ready for any game that you can throw at it. Also, If you're interested in a silent PC, the Gaming X comes highly recommended, because of the fantastic implementation of the Twin Frozr VI cooler. It's also a big plus, that the Gaming X achieves its superior level of cooling with only two fans, whereas companies like Gigabyte, Asus, and Zotac all have three-fan GPUs which are obnoxiously long and inconvenient for some builds.The only issue I have with this card (which caused me to dock one star in the rating), are LED lights on the shroud. The LED lights are extremely dim and the colors cannot be changed. There's a very small MSI logo at the side of the card, in which the colors can be changed through MSI's Gaming App. But, it's a tiny consolation for what should've been a better lit GPU - especially considering that MSI's competitors are decking out their respective 1080s in all sorts of colors.

    Top reviews from the United States

    Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2017
    Installed this in my computer about a week ago, and I have to say that I absolutely love it!

    Let me just say, this graphics card is an absolute beast! It absolutely ravages almost any game that I throw at it. When it comes to the pros of this card, the list could go on and on.

    Pros:
    - Great killer performance! Runs almost everything well above 60 fps. If you're looking for something that blows almost every game out of the water and is also a good future proof card, then this is your best bet.
    - The looks! The design and shape of this graphics card is absolutely jaw dropping and never ceases to amaze me. Along with the sharpness of the card is the beautiful LEDs that MSI has blessed this card with! The red LEDs at the end of the card really compliment the red theme.
    - The temperature control. Of course, we can't forget the brilliantly implemented Twin Frozr cooling system. Even under extreme load, this card stays moderately cool for the best gaming experience.
    - The ports. There are many ports on the back of this card, giving you room for expansion and offering a good variety.

    Cons:
    - The only problem I have with this card is that, at times, I minor noticeable noise comes out of the card at first under load. However, this sound is not annoying at all and it hasn't interfered with my card or gaming experience in any way.

    In short, if you're looking for a card that has a killer performance, a great design, a brilliant cooling system, a great assortment of ports, and much more, I would highly recommend adding this card to your rig. Trust me, you won't regret it.

    MSI with their Gaming series has always occupied a great space of getting the GPU you want, at a price you can afford with proper cooling, serving as a nice middle ground between the highest-end offerings that come pre-mounted with water blocks, and the low-end, rear exhaust blower cards. Compared to other cards with the same GPU, this card is affordable and reliable enough for a decent overclock, while still staying cool enough to stay under my personal target of 60C. I upgraded to this card from the GTX 970 version, and let me say, this card is a MONSTER. From the hefty back plate, to the giant fans on the front, this card is going to take up a lot of space in your PC, especially if you have anything other than a Full ATX tower. All of that PCB isn't just for show, as this GPU can take any game you want, any at all, and run them perfectly at 1080p; right now, today, there will be no compromises when it comes to graphical settings. If there is an Ultra preset for the game, this card will hit that target and go beyond, even keeping a smooth 60 fps while super-sampling to a 2x resolution scale or better. With MSI's Gaming App or MSI Afterburner, you can control the clock speeds for both the VRAM and the GPU, and the fan speeds to find the ideal balance between graphical performance, noise, and temperature. Also, if you're the type that love the "gaming" red and black aesthetics, this card is pleasing to the eye, and even comes with customisable RGB lighting. All in all, if you're looking to buy a GTX 1080, you've got the money to spend, but this is the air-cooled card that's going to get you the best value for those dollars.

    So, first of all, I know it’s really late for a review, specting to 2000 series from nvidia launch this year, but, to anyone thinking on buying this card for gaming (I really don’t know how well it performs when you’re mining, so I’m gonna let that part aside) its a solid hardware to game in ultra, +60 fps in 1440p, I’ve tried BF1, Far Cry 5, GTA V, BF 4, Pubg (this game specially is a headache, while having al the settings in ultra, it would dip to the low 40’s sometimes in random moments of the match, and then come up to the 100 fps, so I decided to leave it in High settings), Fortnite, with everything in epic, a solid 120 fps. In 4k, it shows where the card lacks in horsepower to push everything stable, and in high settings, to +60 fps, but anyway, temperatures are really good, just a couple of times (And I’ve bought this card on August 2016) going over the 80 C and fan noise is moderate to low, overall, a really good card for 1440p gaming, I’m very happy with my product and my purchase, 9/10 would buy again (9 just because the software for controlling the LED’s on the card is BS, but with that aside, is a solid card)

    Also ich finde es eine Frechheit das ich mir die Grafikkarte bestelle und sie dann im Endeffekt schon gebraucht ist!
    Karte heute angekommen ausgepackt und dann entdeckt das die schon im Gebrauch war weil die Lüfter Staubig sind!!
    Und zurück senden geht dann wahrscheinlich nicht weil sie dann als gebraucht eingestuft wird!?

    1.0 out of 5 stars Very bad experience
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2018
    Would expect a great card like an MSI 1080 to beable to handle streaming at very mediocre settings, the card is backed by an i7700k with 24gb of DDR3 ram with an MSI motherboard. When streaming games at medium settings the card outputs at 98% usage according to task manager resulting in severe frame rate drops with the screen freezing at many points. For a student this has been a bad experience for me as this card took a large chunk out of my bank also resulting in me reverting back to my 970. Always loved using MSI but this is causing to rethink my loyalty. If anyone has a way to fix this it would be greatly appreciated but I believe it is just a faulty card, as it hasn't even lasted 5 months.

    As you'd expect, this card outperforms every game its thrown at.
    At 1080p you run everything smoothly with absolutely no lag, everything maxed out and the beauty of every game shining through.
    At this moment, im using 1080p 60hz monitor which honestly cant live up to what this card dishes out.
    Yet, if you use DSR (downscale resolution) you can render everything at a higher resolution and bring it down to 1080p, so everything is of a high quality, always.
    Buying this card basically future proofs you for quite some time.

    Only negative is the price, but if you can afford it theres NO reason not to get it.
