Previous weeks, MSI teased a Gaming X version of Nvidia's bets on the block GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. The company was planning on releasing multiple custom riffs on the GP102 monster, including three air-cooled varieties. The product planners at the dragon-branded manufacturer offer plenty of options for all consumers since each of those three custom cards can be bought in two variations. All refer to GPU speeds, as all cards sport the same 11GB of 11 GT/s GDDR5X memory.

According to Tweak Town, the blower-equipped MSI GTX 1080 Ti Aero 11G runs at the same 1480 MHz base clock and a boost clock of 1582 MHz as the Founders Edition model; has a three DisplayPort and one HDMI jack, along with six-pin and eight-pin PCIe power connectors similar as the FE card. The OC version of the Aero ramps up its clocks to 1506 MHz and 1620 MHz when boosting.

MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Armor 11G operates with a 1480 MHz base clock and 1582 MHz boost clock while trading away the Aero's green blower cooler for a black and white dual-fan unit. The I/O plate no longer has to serve as an exhaust port for a blower fan which the output now offers five ports with two DisplayPort connectors, a dual-link DVI-D jack for gamers clinging to old monitors, and two HDMI ports.

According to Guru 3D, the Armor OC version ratchets the core up to 1531 MHz base and 1645 MHz boost clock speeds. The power section in the Armor cards is upgraded from the Aero version; as evidenced by the presence of dual eight-pin PCIe power connectors.

Meanwhile, MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G features three user-selectable clock speed configurations starting from the silent mode 1480 MHz base and 1582 MHz boost to speed up to the OC mode's 1506 MHz base and 1620 MHz boost clocks. The company boasted that the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G is their top-of-the-line air-cooled graphics card. The 'X' card has three selectable clock speed configurations ranging up to 1569 Mhz base and 1683 MHz boost in its OC mode. Both Gaming cards have two-and-a-half slot coolers, so gamers will need to clear plenty of room for these red-and-black beasts.
