Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Armor And Aero Graphics Cards Released, Cheaper But Fast Versions Of The MSI Gaming X Series

MSI has just released their own version of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, the Aero and the Armor graphics cards. The two cards are said to be the cheaper versions of MSI's Gaming X series, but still, boast great power and cooling tech.

According to a report from The Guru of 3D, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Aero is an 11GB card that has a 1,480 MHz of default clock frequency. This graphics card will also have a 1,582 MHz boost clock frequency.

But aside from its power, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Aero will also be sporting a great cooling technology. The graphics card is able to keep the entire components cool by having a thermal design that is built around a radial fan. This design pushes all of the heated air out of the PC through a rear exhaust.

PC Gamer reports that the Aero model also has an overclocked version that has a 1,506 MHz base clock and a 1,620 MHz boost clock. This version also has the same cooling tech.

The report said that GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Armor has the same MHz of the non-overclocked version as that of the Aero, but a faster-overclocked version with 1,531 MHz base clockspeed and 1,645 MHz for the turbo frequency.

The cooling tech of the Armor model is the same as the Aero one, but it does sport a pair of MSI Torx fans instead of the single fan that's found on the Aero. Both cards are also said to feature two DisplayPorts and two HDMI ports.

A dual-link DVI-D can also be found in both of them and they require two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. As for the price, the report said that the Armor model of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is being listed at $710, though this is not yet confirmed.

No price was mentioned for the Aero model, but it is said to be the cheapest in MSI's Gaming X series. Check out what the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card looks like in the video below.
