MSI GTX 1080 Ti Aero

The first model we are going to talk about is Aero. This graphics card is based on the Founders Edition reference model, with a single turbine, aluminum heatsink and plastic housing, this model should not cost much more than the reference model, unless we opt for the OC version.

As it could not be otherwise, the GTX 1080 Ti Aero comes with RGB lighting and Military Class 4 components have been used to add greater resistance.

MSI GTX 1080 Ti Armor

GTX 1080 Ti Armor is the star of this presentation, with a dual fan cooling system called Armor 2X. This model comes with factory frequencies of 1480MHz base and 1582MHz in Turbo mode, these would be the same as in the Founders Edition. If we opt for the OC version, the frequencies go up to the base 1531MHz and 1645MHz in Turbo mode, which should give us a couple of FPS that don't hurt.

We recommend reading the best graphics cards.

Like the previous model, it comes with Military Class 4 components and uses an 8-pin and a 6-pin connector for power.
