MSI GeForce GTX 1080 SEA HAWK X

This graphics card pairs an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8GB GDDR5X memory on a 256-bit bus. It connects via PCI Express 3.0 x16 and delivers a 1708 MHz core clock with an 1847 MHz boost clock. The hybrid cooling design targets enthusiasts who want factory overclocks and quieter operation.

Ideal for 4K gaming and CUDA workloads

The 2560 CUDA cores and 10108 MHz effective memory clock suit high-resolution gaming and GPU compute tasks. Four display outputs including HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 drive multi-monitor setups up to 7680 x 4320. Builders needing a single-slot air cooler or a newer architecture should consider other models.

8GB GDDR5X memory capacity

The 8GB frame buffer is the decisive spec for texture-heavy titles and large datasets at 1440p or 4K. If your workflow or target resolution fits within this VRAM limit, the card remains viable. If you require more memory for future titles or professional rendering, look at cards with larger buffers.

Questions about this item

What power connectors does the SEA HAWK X require from my power supply?

The card draws power through its PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and the onboard power connectors on the hybrid cooler; check the unit for 8-pin or 6-pin sockets before buying cables.

Will the GTX 1080 SEA HAWK X run in an older PCIe 2.0 motherboard slot?

Yes — the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots, though bandwidth will be limited to the older standard.

How can I verify the 1847 MHz boost clock is active after installation?

Run a GPU load test and watch the core frequency in MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z; it should reach 1847 MHz under load if cooling and power are adequate.
