MSI GTX 1080Ti Lightning Z 11GB GDDR5X graphics card

MSI GTX 1080Ti Lightning Z 11GB

This graphics card uses the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti chipset with 11GB of GDDR5X memory. It connects via a PCI Express 3.0 16X interface and requires three 8-pin power connectors. The memory runs at 11016/11124MHz across a 352bit bus.

PCI Express 3.0 16X bandwidth limit

The PCI Express 3.0 16X slot provides a fixed bandwidth ceiling that governs data transfer between the GPU and the rest of the system. This interface caps the maximum theoretical throughput available to the card. If the platform only supports an older PCIe generation the card will operate at that lower speed.

11GB GDDR5X frame buffer capacity

The 11GB GDDR5X frame buffer is the single specification that determines whether this card can hold the textures and assets required by a given workload. At 1080 resolution and higher the available capacity directly limits the maximum texture quality and scene complexity that fit in local memory.
