MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition 8GB GDDR5X Dual-Link DVI-D HDMI 3x DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card


The MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 is a quantum leap in performance. Faster than both the GeForce GTX 980 Ti and GeForce GTX TITAN X, With the power of the NVIDIA Pascal architecture, the efficiency and performance of the 16nm FinFET GPU, the blistering speed of the GDDR5X VRAM, and the craftsmanship of the fan, vapor chamber, and backplate the MSI GTX 1080 is the world's fastest and most advanced graphics card.

SI GTX 1080 uses the power of Pascal. NVIDIA Pascal is the world’s most advanced GPU architecture delivering truly game-changing performance, innovative technologies, and immersive, next-gen VR. With brilliant gameplay with captivating sights and sounds, it’s a whole new way to game.It features NVIDIA GameWorks technologies for smooth gameplay and cinematic experiences, as well as revolutionary 360-degree image capture-even in VR.

Under the hood, the new Pascal architecture is loaded with technologies that will make your games and experiences better, faster, and more beautiful. Previous-generation architectures have brought advances such as DSR, G-SYNC and HairWorks to life, and with Pascal we're introducing gamers to Ansel, Simultaneous Multi-Projection, VRWorks Audio, VR PhysX, and VR Touch.

MSI’s GTX 1080 is a quantum leap forward in performance and power efficiency. It is built using ultra-fast FinFET, this new, smaller chip design uses fewer Watts of power and emits less heat, enabling us to crank up the core clock speed of the GPU, which is key for increasing a graphics card's performance. Alongside the FinFET is 8GB of GDDR5X memory, a new, faster type of video card memory. This cutting-edge and blazing fast, High Bandwidth memory ensures performance won’t be bottlenecked by memory-related operations in the most demanding games.

The MSI GeForce GTX 1080 is meticulously crafted to offer superior heat dissipation using an advanced vapor chamber and premium materials, so it runs as cool as it looks. Surrounding the GeForce GTX 1080's powerful hardware is a redesigned vapor chamber and fan for cool, quiet operation; a polygonal shroud, and a backplate for the dissipation of heat from the rear of the graphics card. This premium design enables excellent overclocking and whisper-quiet operation, a trend we began with previous-generation NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPUs.

With the Afterburner overclocking utility you can wirelessly control your settings through and iOS/Android device. Another advantage is the built-in screen and video capturing tool named Predator which captures your screen as still images or videos with the push of a button. MSI Afterburner supports multi-GPU setups and has a built-in DirectX 12 benchmark.

GeForce® GTX graphics cards provide a powerful next-generation platform for the ultimate immersive virtual reality experience. Rigs and cards marked with "GeForce GTX VR Ready" ensure that your VR games will be optimized with a best-in-class GPU.

Immersive VR requires seven times the graphics processing power of traditional 3D apps and games. NVIDIA's unique set of features - such as multi-res shading - mean you get the right level of performance, image quality, and latency to ensure your VR experience is nothing short of amazing.
