For those who have not yet found the main differences between MSI GTX 1080 Gaming Z and Gaming X we bring you all their news (which we have been able to find out) regarding the design, power and lighting system.

MSI GTX 1080 Gaming Z and MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X

On the one hand, the GTX 1080 Gaming Z has LED lighting, as well as a new version of the MSI logo on the back of its metal plate. This version will represent and offer greater performance thanks to the solutions that frame it and are visually much more attractive.

Other improvements are the unlocking of the voltage from MSI Afterburner (not all GTX 1080 allows it) and some new bearings in its fans. In this way they improve the air flow and its durability.

We recommend reading the first reviews of the GTX 1080.

The MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X version has a high level of overclocking, has an advanced dissipation system with a 92mm double fan and is also equipped with a black backplate.

It is customary in the manufacturer for the customization of graphics cards. There is also a very interesting fact and that is that the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 graphics cards have a high margin of overclocking, (with air cooling), they have already been seen to reach 2.1 GHz in normal units. By grouping these characteristics into two MSI ranges, it is possible to better differentiate those specimens that will have a high but considerably reasonable overclock compared to those that are extreme.
