MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FE 11GB GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition

Pros: Very fast GPU, as expected. I'm very happy! Fans are pretty quiet at high temps (80c+). I've been going for a silent build so that's perfect. I don't plan to overclock the 1080 Ti right away, it does plenty enough for me as it is. I love the design of Founder's Edition plus It works better for me anyway because it keeps the rest of my case a few degrees cooler. Biggest pro is no coil whine like some have been reporting.

Cons: Really none. I wish NVIDIA would do a RGB logo though so I could switch it to something else if I feel the need to.

Overall Review: I was a bit scared of coil whine after seeing a couple reviews here. However, I have no coil whine at all on my unit! I'm playing at 100fps on a 100hz G-Sync 3440x1440 monitor. I will note that I upgraded my PSU at the same time to a Corsair RM750i.

Pros: Good Card I usually go EVGA for the last 4 cards but decided to give MSI a try. Updated my Review to 5 stars for the reason that when I updated to the latest Geforce drivers 381.89 all my problems went away with the card causing my vision problems. I guess when releasing Windows creators update and 1080ti cards during the same month Nvidia had to play catch up. I updated my cable for my monitor to a Displayport 1.2 ACCELL cable these are quality cables you can buy and when you hook them up to any card the picture on your gaming monitor or whatever monitor will improve greatly and it will feel like a rock solid CRT monitor. I played Metro last light and I couldn't believe the difference the cable made. If you put the Fan on Aggressive with EVGA precision X it will keep the card cooled to 65 C. If you put the fan on auto or quiet it will ramp up to 84 C. I took the card apart twice to replace the thermal paste 1st time I didn't think I had enough paste on the chip. Card is really easy to take apart compared to AIC cooler cards.

Cons: MSI Afterburner could use some work so I'm using EVGA precision X with this card seems to work better at Startup when loading a game. Fan is pretty loud but speakers and case distance mute the sound. Riva tuner was crashing my Nvidia Desktop control panel it seemed...so that is why I'm using EVGA precesion X.

Pros: - Built sturdy - Solid card - Quiet at idle - Looks great in person! -Cool LED logo up top

Cons: - Loud at load - Heavy -Air cooled -Hot at loads

Overall Review: Pretty much what you see on all the review websites is what you get. This was a upgrade for me from a 290X now that it is affordable and possible to do 4K gaming. My prize possession in my $5K build, forget the SSD that almost cost the same or the processor. This is the guy! Getting 60 FPS in all the games I play (except ultra on Wildlands but lets see if it gets optimized). Running at temps of like 70s C at load for me OC'd to 2.0 GHZ. Idle in the 30s C. I'm not sure what this coil whine is but I don't hear anything.

Pros: -i can play player unknowns battol grounds @ 144hz @ 1080p all ultra + 120 % res scale to full around 69 (lowest ) to average 94 fps high of 144 fps -plays battle field 1 1080p ultra 144hz @ 1950 mhz does 144 fps locked and barly drops below 124 fps for me 95 % 144 fps locked thats with a 7700k @ 5.1 ghz 1.4v ,3600 mhz g skill rgb 16gb ,nvme drive -mega fast card -looks sexy -11gb memmory -over clocks to 1950 mhz easy -runs pretty cool for 1900mhz around 72c full load with msi after burber fan curve to on ( defult )

Cons: -price but you get what u pay for :) -does not come with 2

Overall Review: i would recomend this card for sure 5 weeks in my 7700 k@ 5.1 , 3600 rgb g skill ram ,intel 500p nvme system and no issues , no blue screens all the drivers i tested on windows 10 seem fine

Pros: -Quiet -Powerful

Cons: -Can get hot

Overall Review: -I absolutely recommend this card to everyone. -Card was getting up to 82C, turned case fans up to 100% and GPU fan to 48% and now it runs 10C lower. Fans are still quiet too! -I haven't experienced any coil whine unlike others.

Pros: Huge upgrade for me, went from 2x R9 290xs in crossfire to this beast! Having a large amount of vram is really nice. Most games on average use about 6GB of vram, the division uses around 7.5GB of Vram. The nvidia surround is really good (same as eyefinity for amd) and I am able to play most games on 3x monitors 7680 x 1080 on ultra is great! This card will save me money on my electric bill compared to use 2x cards. Nvidia has honestly the best drivers compared to amd. This card does truly lives up to the hype! I have heard other users complain about the fan noise, It doesn't bother me nor can I really hear it. Its better than the older stock fan I had on one of my r9 290x fans. I also like the fact, I don't have to manually set the fan to achieve decent performance nor mod/replace it with an after market fan.

Cons: I had to wipe my computer to get the full performance (It may have been coming from amd, even after removing the old drivers in control panel and installing the latest ones from nvidia was getting around 140-170fps in rainbow six siege, after wiping the whole system it goes as high as 240fps in some areas. (They have a third party tool called display driver uninstaller, this helped a little but didn't fix the performance problems. I wish nvidia surround was working for rainbow six siege, it works in the game menu but not on levels. I'm not going to complain at all for the price, I'm glad they released it!

Overall Review: If you have an R9 290x or two in crossfire, this will be a great upgrade! I had horrible BF1 performance, horrible divison performance, it was getting to the point of a struggle to achieve 60fps in most games even on medium to low settings. This card should be more than enough for regular 1080P gaming (if not overkill) If you are running multi-monitor or a 4k single display this is perfect. Understand that this card is for a niche consumer (IE ME) who has an actual need for a card with this type of performance and large amount of vram.

Pros: -Great for 4K games. So far played all of my games on 4K @ 60fps or better. I don't have that many new high demanding games, as I tend to be picky on what I buy. Games I do have like Fallout 4, Witcher 3, and Ghost Recon: Wildlands are about 50-60fps. Wildlands I noticed doesn't play on Ultra that well, but Very High on 4K is smooth and playable. -Easy to overclock. Doesn't take much to improve gameplay. I use Asus GPU Tweak II. I tried other GPU software, I just happen to like GPU Tweak more. -The card is well built and solid.

Cons: -The fan is kinda noisy especially at 50% or more. Not a big deal but noticeable. -If you overclock, it will get hot. -This is a great card, but I wouldn't spend anymore then the MSRP of $699. I got lucky and happened to be on Newegg at the right time.

Overall Review: Fed-Ex was 4 days late delivering this item. I paid for overnight shipping, and Newegg refunded me for the shipping. So thanks to Newegg for the refund!

Pros: The card is fast and runs games at 4k wide open 60fps or better except for some of the newest titles (Ghost Recon). Can be silent if you leave the card in control of itself (aka no msi afterburner fan control). My card runs an average in the low 1700's Mhz just plug and play (50% fan speed).

Cons: Card runs very hot if you let it (84-85C) which is how it is designed but still crazy hot. If you control the fan with msi afterburner, you can get the temps down in the 70'sC but then the blower gets pretty loud (45-55db).

Overall Review: Here is the thing. There is no point paying more money for barely more performance. If you can get an AIB card for the same money then sure, buy that card. Otherwise, just buy the cheapest card you can get. All these AIB cards that are way more expensive only net you up to 10 fps more at 4k. Is 10 fps worth $50 or more to you? The only other reason to buy a more expensive AIB card is noise and temp levels. FE cards are silent but hot. They will run slower clock speeds because of the heat. Even with all that you would still have to overclock an AIB card to 1.9-2 Ghz to net that 10 fps gain. On top of that, AIB cards for the most part are 2 1/2 slot cards. If you are going for sff, FE cards are the way to go. They take up less space and still perform awesome. At the end of the day, you can still overclock an FE card just as far as an AIB card but with the extra noise level. You will run out of power and voltage before you get too hot.
