GeForce GTX 1080
NVIDIA's flagship delivers unprecedented graphical performance, now in 4K resolution.
16nm chip
The new Pascal GP104 chip, consisting of 7.2 billion transistors, runs at a considerably higher clock speed compared to previous generations.
VR support
The card calculates multiple views of the same scene simultaneously, helping to achieve fantastic results in virtual reality applications.
Groundbreaking modern platform
The Pascal GP104 graphics chip features 2560 CUDA cores, accompanied by 160 texture mapping units. The chip is clocked at 1607 MHz, though it reaches an impressive 1733 MHz with Boost Mode.
Virtual reality has never been so close
The GeForce GTX 1080 is expected to advance virtual reality rather significantly, also thanks to its completely new GDDR5X memory. A new manufacturing process enables it to reach faster throughput and the memory clock has skyrocketed to a stunning 10 GHz.
Generally, you can expect up to 3 times faster performance when using VR applications.
MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING Z 8G gaming showcase with high factory overclocking
This MSI graphics card rightfully belongs to the fine-tuned GAMING edition. It offers a reworked Twin Frozr VI cooler with tweaked fan blades and improved ball bearings. Together these improvements result in 35% less noise and up to 20% lower operating temperatures. The card also boasts an at least 14% performance boost compared to the basic Founders Edition. And thanks to the smart cooling design, the maximum clock speed can safely reach 1,911 MHz.
Smart and quiet cooling
The Twin Frozr VI cooler is fitted with Zero Frozr fan technology that MSI first introduced in 2008. This technology stops the fans in low-load situations, eliminating fan noise and allowing you to fully focus on gaming.
Great PC and smartphone control app
MSI Gaming App is used to optimise your graphics card performance with just one click. You can have multiple profiles, so you can always set up the right one for maximum FPS or maximum silence.
Other features include controllable LED lights, where you can change the colour of the ribbed backlights and the MSI Dragon logo on the side. All the features are also accessible from the mobile app.
