Summary
It is almost a map of superlatives, because it is really fast, yet still sufficiently quiet and it still makes a lot of fun even with manual overclocking. Shock moments will probably only be experienced in the end: the price at the purchase and the first time the fans start up. MSI still has to work on this push-up pulse, which is far too high. Everything else is under control and you can sit back and relax at MSI, because we haven't found any other mistakes.
However, what would still be good for the card in the accessories would be a stand to support the very high weight and thus relieve the motherboard. The optional 3-slot aperture can help a little, but even with that there is still a lot of load on the motherboard.
In the end, there is hardly any criticism left, which is really the exception. The most important thing we have now juxtaposed once again:
Per |
Balanced |
Cons |
---|---|---|
– high boost stroke ex works – very good cooler – quiet fan – hardly spool-feathers – elaborate RGB effects – external measuring points |
– Power Target – Power consumption |
– relatively expensive – very difficult – high start-up pulse |
The overall package can convince in its entirety, so we even award the rare "Editor's Choice" award for the MSI GTX 1080 Ti Lightning Z. Because it is probably the best air-cooled graphics card in the sum of all the features from the already tested stock.
Conclusion
The award and its greening have already anticipated the conclusion. Apart from the very high price, it is therefore also a smooth purchase recommendation, which should not be really compatible with the broad mass in a generalized form. But it has never been cheap to own something very special. At least until the next generation of graphics cards is just around the corner. And that may take some time.
