MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X vs Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming

I can get the MSI card true Belgium webstock, but i am also thinking about the Gigabyte one, the MSI reviews are up now like 2 or 3 reviews, shall i buy the msi version now ? or wait a bit longer for the g1 review ?

I have to say i am going to SLI them but i am not sure yet wich one is better of them 2, temperature wise.

Reference is no go in my book it got fan problems, and a single reference one can heat up to 85c thats just to hot, imagine 2 of these things that will cook my inside case, and it will trottle for sure lol.

 

Unless you're desperately wanting to play games just right now or next weekend, I'd personally wait for the reviews. Yet I think the difference won't be major, and cooling will be a lot better than FE cards.

 

I will buy MSI, G1 on 1080 is crap

I would go for a MSI Sea Hawk with water cooling.

 

That card does seem interesting, wonder though how loud it is (rad fan and blower fan).

 

Guess less noise than 3 fans. As I game with headphones, noise wouldn´t be an issue. Let´s wait for reviews.

 

Well that card stays pretty cool even with OC.

 

I need two so i cant watercool them both, i wish, because my corsair 110i gtx is already in use for my cpu got no more space left for more radiators @ least not in sli.

 

I don't think it's going to be loud as the only thing the blower fan really needs to cool is the vrm and seeing as the whole pcb tuns cooler due to lower gpu temps it will help out even more. EVGA hybrid is also another one you can have a look at

 

Gigabyte 1080 gaming EXTREME is better:

2x 8pin

More pins doesn't mean it's better as long as it's not just one 8 pin, but what does look interesting for the gigabyte extreme version is those airflow videos which compares normal 3 fans to the new design with stacked fans.

I'm sure it won't be a major difference though but interesting to see results, i'd go for the msi gaming one since it's probably gonna be cheaper too. And who knows when the extreme is available.

So yea,leaving the Extreme aside between the msi gaming and the g1 i'd go with MSI no doubt.

 

Yeah i might maybe buy the MSI but the thing is with the MSI version is that them vram decks get pretty hot according to Hilberts review.

 

Hang in there for a couple more days and I will give you a real world response on the G1 once it arrives in the mail.

 

Maybe you're right.
Can they release the card already? Don't have all day.

The benchmark tell me that the MSI (Dual 8 pins) win over the gigabyte (single 8 pin).
Waiting to see what my EVGA GTX1080 FTW will do.

It seem's that the fan are bigger on the FTW then the SC. If so better cooling.

 

Considering that the MSI Gaming is $720 and the Gigabyte Gaming is $620 it's an easy choice for me. (USA prices)

 

I just orderd two MSI,s hopefully they serve me wel else i just return them i have a 15 day try-out.

 

Lucky, im itching to buy one now, but currently it's overpriced here. Dunno what to do, have a feeling by the time i finish work in 6 hours , i'll buy it.

Edit: haha, someone bought it, phew, damn this temptation, almost bought it.

 

After reading all the results obtain with the founders and the custom I decided to buy the Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 gaming. Will give you more info on the performance of the card that I will received this week.

 

Witcher do have the good job or somethin? 2 1080's lol I'm jelly.
