MSI presents two new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming: TRIO and X TRIO
Wisely
MSI announces two new video cards, based on GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, which are going to pose themselves as new hi-end solutions from the Taiwanese manufacturer: let’s talk about the models of the Gaming series precisely the TRIO version and the more thrust X TRIO.
Both, given the segment they cover, have been equipped with the best MSI technologies: three-fan heatsink, Mystic Light RGB LED lighting, improved thermal design and Military Class certified components.
The cooling system, the same for both new models, is the one called TRI-FROZR, based on the adoption of two 10 cm fans and a 9 cm central unit, all of the TORX 2.0 series, as regards the actual heatsink, we find two 8 mm SuperPipes flanked by another four smaller heatpipes, all dimensioned to transfer the heat from the GPU to the fins as quickly as possible, guaranteeing a correct disposal up to values around 300 W. Between the two identical versions also the connector compartment, consisting of two DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI v2.0 connectors and a single DL-DVI-D connector.
The two boards are also similar in appearance and dimensions, 325x140x48 mm and a total weight of 1,484 g; the differences are shown only by sifting through the data sheet and going to see the factory set operating frequencies:
MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming TRIO
Core Clock
1,620 MHz / 1,506 MHz (OC Mode)
1,607 MHz / 1,493 MHz (Gming Mode)
1,582 MHz / 1,480 MHz (Silent Mode)
Memory Clock
11,016 MHz (OC/ Gaming / Silent )
MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X TRIO
Core Clock
1,683 MHz / 1,569 MHz (OC Mode)
1,657 MHz / 1,544 MHz (Gaming Mode)
1,582 MHz / 1,480 MHz (Silent Mode)
Memory Clock
11,124 MHz (OC Mode)
11,016 MHz (Gaming / Silent )
A more step-by-step reading for the frequencies of the X TRIO card that stands out from its younger sister for having undergone a retouching even at the frequency of memories in OC Mode, which usually, even on the best-performing models, stands on ” standard ” values.
