MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X Plus 8GB Review

3DMark is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today’s high-performance gaming PCs. It is our [FutureMark’s] most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.

We run 3DMark Fire Strike (1080p), Fire Strike Extreme (1440p) and Fire Strike Ultra (4K).

The MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X Plus is faster across the board but the margin of improvement is fairly slim, around 5 per cent over the Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming that operates at 1695MHz core versus 1683MHz for the MSI card. Clearly some of the performance gain for the MSI card is negated by the faster clock speed of the Gigabyte model.
