” Any way you cut it, the MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Trio is one hell of a video card. Starting from the word "go," it delivered performance well above that of the GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition card in each and every benchmark. No doubt this is because of the factory boost clock speed of 1683MHz. As we all know, the factory boost clock is just the starting point for core clock speed as every Pascal-based card I have tested has outpaced the factory rating by a wide margin. At least until the thermals start ramping up. At this point, the GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Trio has an advantage over Founders Edition cards. This card is able to stay cooler for longer, resulting in a higher longer-term average core clock speed that drives FPS performance.”
