Overclocking
The first batch of GTX 1080 cards tend to overclock to similar levels, irrespective of brand. MSI continues this theme. The Gaming X starts off at a lower base clock than either Asus or Inno3D so has the opportunity of a bigger overclock. The final result, however, is similar, with the card holding station at a boost speed of 2,037MHz and memory at 11,000MHz.
Yup, 5,700 is a popular score.
Can we call the MSI Gaming X a 4K60 card at maximum settings? Yup, just.
