Purpose and Audience

The MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X TRIO is a desktop graphics card built for high-resolution gaming and content creation. It targets enthusiasts who need substantial video memory and multi-monitor output capability. The card occupies a standard ATX slot and connects via PCI Express 3.0 x16.

Deciding Specification

The 11GB GDDR5X frame buffer across a 352-Bit interface is the specification that determines suitability for 4K textures and large datasets. This memory configuration pairs with 3584 CUDA cores and an effective clock of 11124 MHz. Three selectable BIOS modes set the core clock at 1569 MHz, 1544 MHz or 1480 MHz with corresponding boost clocks of 1683 MHz, 1657 MHz and 1582 MHz.

Bundled Extras and Software

Mystic Light RGB provides three independently addressable zones including an L-shaped light bar and symmetrical dragon claw accents. The TRI-FROZR thermal assembly uses three TORX 2.0 fans with Double Ball Bearings and ZeroFrozr stop-mode. Dispersion and traditional blade profiles combine to raise air pressure by 22 percent. Display outputs comprise one HDMI 2.0b, two DisplayPort 1.4 and one DL-DVI-D supporting four simultaneous monitors.
