MSI GEFORCE GTX1080 TI ARMOR 11G OC

*Update*After owning this card for almost 2 years now, I'm still using it to run every game I play. I haven't had one issue yet with this card, and it still outperforms most cars on the market. Obviously it cant do Nvidia's RTX technology, but the performance gal is so small, I'll stick this this one for a while.Such a great product!All I can say, is that this card was money well spent. Every game I've ran so far ran like butter at the highest settings. (For Honor, Resident Evil 7, Witcher 3) There shouldn't be a review less than 5 stars. The reviews that had a lesser rating were based on the reviewer's discontent with the price a "Third Party Seller" was trying to scalp this card for. If you're patient and wait for Amazon to have this in stock, it will only be $749.99.Ok.. back to the actual review. This card runs quiet and cool. I was actually worried at first because the fans will not spin unless the card hits a certain temperature, which in itself is awesome. I never thought I would see a graphics card run at 28 degrees C with 0 fan speed. At this stage, I have not attempted an overclock because I haven't needed to. Unless you're just trying to achieve a high benchmark score, there really is no necessity to overclock.MSI is an amazing company, and I see why they're the world leader in certain categories. If you're able to get this card, get it. You won't be disappointed.

So, after years of not having a gaming PC, I built one for about $900. The GPU was a 1050ti 4gb and so far I have been happy. Well, I wanted to upgrade my GPU mainly because I want to play VR. My worry was that this card would be to big because like an idiot, I bought a micro ATX motherboard and put it in a mid tower size case. Anyways, this DUKE 11GB 1080ti arrived and fit into the motherboard nice and snuggly, thank you baby jesus. The card actually extends past the motherboard about 2 1/2 inches which I find funny. There is barely any sag, if any at all. I don't notice but just to be careful, I bought a GPU support bracket. Anyways, I ran my benchmark online and this card absolutely crushes it. It idles at around 29-30 Celsius and I have played all new games and recent releases on ultra/high settings. The card maybe gets up to 65 Celsuis at max according to MSI Afterburner. The cost of the card was high(Paid $1100), but I had the money and it was worth it.This is my rig setup. I waiting on my new i7 to arrive and I am switching to NVME. I may swap out the motherboard completely but I do not want to go through all that work right now.- Intel Core i5-8600K 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler- MSI Z370M MORTAR Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard- Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory- Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive- Phanteks Eclipse P400 ATX Mid Tower Case- EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

I went through literal hell with newegg as i bought a gigabyte GPU with coil whine and they wouldn't exchange it for another brand and all i could get was a 450$ gift card even though i paid 510$, because it was bundled with a video game i didn't even want. I filed a dispute with paypal and after 3 weeks nothing happened so i used the gift card + my own money to buy a monitor - well the monitor came and didn't even turn on, and newegg suspended by account for the dispute, so i basically got scammed 60$+450$+125$ extra for the monitor. I've talked to paypal so many times but the way newegg charges things seperately i couldn't get them to understand. then newegg said through dispute that i could get 125$ back if i shipped the monitor back. OMG i hate them so much.Sniped this card for 728.99 and it has been working great. MSI is the best, no coilwhine and the fans are quality with little to no noise.Never buying a gigabyte product ever again (been burned by their motherboards in the past as well) and i'm never buying anything from newegg again either!!I duke it out I duke it out I duke it out I duke it out I duke it out I duke it out I duke it out I duke it out I duke it out I duke it outHA-DUKE-N!!!!

I use this for my secondary computer, it's pretty good for older titles that aren't as graphic intense. The video quality is good, the size is smaller than modern GPU's which can be good or bad. It's very easy to install. You can find better in terms of value for money now. But I do love the graphics card.
