MSI GTX 1080Ti GAMING X Review (Benchmarks and Overview)

[@deadlock_]

Very nice review, once again. Regarding the red-black theme, MSI could simply make it so that the red parts are detachable and ship the card with additional black or gray ones so that you can switch them at will.

[@TotallySilenced]

Great idea! Like ASUS do with some of their motherboards.

[@TotallySilenced]

I would like it on the Gaming X edition though.

[@chadeptus801]

Excellent on 40k+ subscribers! Great video as usual.

[@TotallySilenced]

Hey, thanks very much :)

[@deftechtv4111]

thanks for the review! just ordered this card, so pumped, 4K gaming on my 2017 LG OLED TV is going to be jaw dropping. couldn't care less about the aesthetics personally, I respect that others do, but I'm trying to play games, not stare at a technicolor glowing box from outer space... SO PUMPED!!!

[@conorkeogh623]

What would happen if you put your finger in the fan while it’s running

[@AngelGSW]

I really hope the best for your channel,you deserve it man.

[@TotallySilenced]

Thanks for the support Kiyis! Much appreciated.

[@zacharygoterch168]

Um, every PC Gamer wants RGB? I thought it looked cool for a while, but every manufacturer is overdoing it now, and I’m sick of it tbh. Not only that, but it’s a justification PC hardware companies use to charge more for the components. Give me a gaming PC that can play games without a hitch at a given resolution and I’m good.

[@TotallySilenced]

I said "most people want RGB" :D People want to customise/match their components. The gaming X edition leaves you with only one option! RED. Of course performance is far more important that's why I gave two awards..

[@zacharygoterch168]

SilencedTech Sorry ‘bout that. I tend to zone out on occasion watching YT videos so my bad. Also, just wanting your opinion on this, but do you think RGB is becoming a bit overused?

[@TotallySilenced]

Nothing wrong with using RGB to match certain products together.. but when it gets put on things like this I just laugh... www.thermaltake.com/Power_Supply/Toughpower_Series_/Toughpower_DPS_G/C_00002785/Toughpower_DPS_G_RGB_1250W_Titanium/design.htm Apparently it's VR ready as well :/

[@zacharygoterch168]

SilencedTech Lol, yeah, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. Putting RGB on something that, depending on the case, you may never even see. Pretty damn pointless. I do agree that it does look good when used right.

[@MBpotato89]

Great video - keep'em coming Your data labels in the benchmarks aren't legible on a standard smartphone (to me at least). Consider changing the font size.

[@TotallySilenced]

Mikkel Birch Oh okay thanks for the heads up.

[@TotallySilenced]

What do you think of the Gaming X 1080 TI from MSI?

[@blackbird2887]

SilencedTech i can't afford lol

[@TotallySilenced]

Save my friend, save like no tomorrow :D

[@blackbird2887]

SilencedTech yeah

[@TotallySilenced]

Yes that's a slim card, I don't mind them being two and a half slots because they look BEAST!

[@NA-cl6vj]

Great card. Have it in my pc. Silent fast and good temps.

[@ashtronomic7738]

you literally said what I was thinking haha. This design is so Amazing but this red/black theme needs to go I guess... a plain black card with RGB lighting would be nice! maybe even some black brushed aluminium accents... or, I'm going to put it out there... imagine GRAPHICS CARDS designed after the Corsair special edition Dominator Platinum's 😍😍😍 blackout and chrome models! Good video Marc👍 can't wait for next episode of Setup Refresh :D

[@TotallySilenced]

Oh man a chrome graphics card! That would be awesome. Next episode of SETUP REFRESH is coming right up!

[@TotallySilenced]

I'd like to check that card out :)_

[@ashtronomic7738]

GameGeakte™ PNY have some nice looking cards man. though they're not easily accessible all over unfortunately... plus I think it's an uncommon brand choice for most

[@ashtronomic7738]

and appreciation to any design that makes use of triple fans... lol nothing better than having your graphics card look like a weapon of war :D

[@TotallySilenced]

I never see many people rocking PNY cards, shame cause they normally look nice.

[@John4gamesyo]

hi! what was the song you used for the benchmarks showcase? thanks!

[@samironair6158]

The benchmarks are totally unreadable on my iPhone 5S....

[@TotallySilenced]

Thanks for the feedback! I will make the text bigger next time.

[@ohnoitisnt666]

Thanks for the video man. Where did you get the sweet power cables do you mind me asking?

[@TotallySilenced]

A friend does them for me, they look good right?

[@weaselinjeans1]

WHAT DO WE WANT.....RGB, WHEN DO WE WANT IT........NOW!! "That's what she said lmao, love it. I'll stick to my Rog 1080 for now. My build looks like the fun fair has come to town. I love LED's 🤣

[@TotallySilenced]

WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! :D

[@jonathanwatson5544]

Nice review Marc! Thanks for your honest opinion.

[@TotallySilenced]

Always.

[@xamanthe]

Totally agree with getting rid of the red and black. I really don't need a 1080ti, (would love one, but...) and was looking at the 1070 Quicksilver. Loved the white and black, but again they had to put red on it and I didn't like that so went with a Galax Hall of Fame 1070. Beautiful. One thing bugging me about these thicker cards taking up 2 1/2 to 3 slots...they need to make motherboards to accommodate them. If you have 2 cards, many mobo/case combos will not allow optimum airflow. Also, they block some of the pci slots. May not make a difference to some, but my case/mobo combo won't allow more than one of these thick cards. (MSI Mpower Z170 wi/Phanteks Enthoo Evolve.) Oh well, saved the price of a second card. Edit: Meant to also say, nice review as always!

[@TotallySilenced]

Thanks dude, hopefully we'll see an RGB MSI card one day : )

[@spacecy]

why was the cpu cooler installed sideways ? :P

[@StalewindFarto]

Love the Dragon, shroud remains the deal killer.

[@ivo3598]

is it good to run OC mode all the time? or just enable it before gaming? is it safe? i got gaming mode in MSI APP as default

[@Oat_meal_YT]

"While it's not entirely long, the width makes up for it." That whats she definitely said to me last night.

[@yungspita1]

hey could you tell me what would be best a 5930k or 6850k? thanks

[@TotallySilenced]

For SLI setups a 6850K although it can run hotter than a 5930k in some cases.

[@Matt-df6je]

Nice video Mark, MSI WE NEED RGB.

[@TotallySilenced]

Thanks Shane.

[@shammikumar6726]

can it play any heavy game and that too in 4k

[@DarkExsphere]

which one has more coil whine? msi or asus 1080ti?

[@charlielodge6827]

Deserves more subss

[@Ckw200]

Replace the red parts with RBG and they'd sell like hotcakes.. This color-scheme alone is keeping the card out of my consideration entirely. With most of the 1080Ti's being very similar ability-wise - it comes down to aesthetics and this just doesn't work for me.

[@jairoortega6351]

Will there be a gaming Z variant ,or the Lightning Z is taking its place?

[@TotallySilenced]

I don't think so just the lighting edition.

[@raikozy35]

i was not that interested in upgrading my GTX970 to something better since I had a 1080p 60hz monitor. a month ago, I got myself an acer predator and now I really feel like getting a new GPU lol. 1440p and 165hz...970is just not enough.

[@TotallySilenced]

Hey Ralkozy! Nice one, the 1080 ti would be the perfect card for the Predators high refresh rate.

[@raikozy35]

yeah, but I think I am gonna wait for the next one haha. I will be leaving my PC at home for a couple years for law school so I guess waiting for the next one won't be that much of a problem haha. Also 1080ti is 1 grand here in Canada, no way I am spending that much money haha. So yeah maybe the new xx70 will be great. But yeah you are right, 1080ti will do 1440p no problem, it's designed for that. I wish I can rent a 1080ti for 4 months haha.

[@TotallySilenced]

Dam dude that's cheap! $1000 Canadian equals 595 UK Pounds, I paid 800 pounds for one that's $1345 :0

[@raikozy35]

yeah lol, UK price is worse than CAD. I can cross the border and buy it in the US and probably get a cheaper price, but I am currently very busy to do that haha. Oh well

[@abe_ismain]

is it worth it over the 960gtx? from NVidia? if I want to play gta5?

[@TotallySilenced]

This over a 960? Well if you can afford it the upgrade would be huge!!

[@abe_ismain]

SilencedTech evidently it's like over 50fps on top of what the 960 gives you and price difference is 320 dollars XD my other hardware seems to be great...

[@nikolashatinen7339]

Whats the song in the benchmark segment?

Awesome thanks for watching!

[@Michou6220]

nice review

[@TotallySilenced]

Thanks mate :)

[@mrBytemare]

Turn the cpu-fan the other way.... lol @1:14

[@N4lax]

The thing that I most hate about that Card: That wig

[@TotallySilenced]

◉_◉

[@N4lax]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't like it just saying

[@TotallySilenced]

What's the wig? lol

[@N4lax]

The "GeForce Logo" on the side

[@nerdMike]

yes, the only bad point about MSI the totally absence of difference bewteen model. At least red AMD and green Nvidia, or something better, to be more different model to model ;) too difficult to distinguish cards.

[@TotallySilenced]

Agreed :)

[@kunalthe100]

i just bought this card today at just $279.35 from a seller (who bought this graphics card at bulk quantity at wholesale prices)....its a (brand new pack piece with 3 years of warranty)..........hahahhaha what a deal i got....!!! i was going to buy a RTX2060 but i got this instead....this card is total beast!!! what a performance.....i get around 180+ fps on most games at 1080p ultra

[@hanneletati1874]

TechDeals just made a video about that same thing xD

[@TotallySilenced]

I'm Marc from SilencedTech! I copy no man or women ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@milosgrujic9118]

2021: When people care about idiotic light in pc components which has no point or affect performanse... When I play games, I usualy stare at my monitor, not at my graphic card...

[@Alexpc1276]

My opinion is that MSI looses a lot of customers just because of the "A E S T H E T I C S" of their gaming EVERYTHING, i had to go asus in my rx480 purchase just because of it

[@0fficialdregs]

The red and black is a mandate when i buy a msi product. No red and black, no buy from me.

[@hanneletati1874]

if i could decide what gtx 1080ti it would be it is 1. aorus xtreme 2. Strix 3. evga 4. Msi

[@TotallySilenced]

Maybe ask that Tech Deals guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@simonwrcarter2999]

Great video, really enjoyable, I am running a pair of these and I am really impressed at 4K... "very" highly recommended ! 😉... for anyone interested ...I was worried about temps due to them being fatties ..sexy ...but fatties... but maxed out settings at 4K.. after a few hours ... last light..GTA v ...66 max and 80 max ... with auto fans ... running in 400s case ... 2 top silent wings ..2 front silent wings 1 rear silent wings and an i7 7700k with dark rock pro 3

[@MaskedGEEK]

A sex joke Marcus? Really? Lol. But I totally agree with you on the card aesthetics. Sure they could but RGBs in and default them to red, but come on MSI, the PC Master Race demand their power, let us choose the color of our cards. If they really wanna be like Trump though and be bullhardy steadfast in keeping the red and black theme though, I would suggest a compromise of both. Having parts of the shroud red and black, but have their logo RGB and either part of the red or black shroud around the fans to be RGB as well. Please pass a note to them Marcus: it's 2017 and the future is RGB and full of color.

[@TotallySilenced]

Spoke to my MSI rep and they're changing to black and RGB soon :)

[@MaskedGEEK]

I'll get the popcorn warmed up ready for when you review their first RGB card.

[@RichardPatry52]

Nobody wants RGB, they just force it on us everywhere. At least I really don't care about it. I prefer functionality, good prices and reliability as well as great performance. RGB comes last.

[@TotallySilenced]

I'm sure most people prefer it compared to just red (unless they have a red and black build) Buyers want to customise/match their components.

[@amitminz1]

msi is idiot because at this range every gpu perform same.. what makes them different is cooler and silence and in 2017 RGB.. and in style and rgb MSI just fail.. Msi desigb department are such a idiot i think

[@arkmark7182]

f*ck RGB this a good 1080 ti and RGB will not add any performance on the card itself only aesthetic

[@hanneletati1874]

go check it in youtube

[@TotallySilenced]

I worked on this video for five days! I didn't just wake up today and finish it in one hour lol.

[@frankharper4030]

Ditch the red ffs.

[@tommoraes7930]

rgb my ass
