The MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk EK X with the pre-installed EK Waterblocks has a basic clock speed of 1.544 MHz, which is raised to a boost rate of 1.596 MHz by GPU Boost 3.0, if required and at the appropriate temperature.

Via the GPU Tweak II software, the MSI graphics card can change to the OC mode, which increases the base clock rate to 1,569 MHz and the boost clock to 1,683 MHz. The 11GB GDDR5X video memory of the graphics card then clock with enormous 5.562 MHz (effectively 11.124 MHz) and for the power supply of the 27 cm long graphics card two 8-pin PCIe connections are needed. The power supply should provide at least 600 watts.
MSIs GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk EK X incorporates a pre-installed EK Water Blocks heat sink that can be easily integrated into the circuit of a custom water cooling system, and features a smart nickel-plated design with an acrylic lid and MSI gaming optics , The GPU as the strongest heat source of a graphics card releases its waste heat through the water block to the cooling liquid. This is then cooled excellently by the individual cooling circuit. Typically for a custom water cooling, the cooling potential is of course particularly high, while the noise is reduced to a minimum. The cooling of the water also makes it possible to significantly increase the clock rates compared to the reference model.
The heat sink of the black-silver GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk EK X from MSI also has two small holes for individual LEDs, which makes the entire graphics card impressive. The black backplate gives the GTX 1080 extra stability and is decorated with a black-stylized MSI gaming kite and a cool pattern.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card is based on the GP102 graphics chip with Pascal architecture and is the gaming flagship of the GeForce GTX 10 series. The GTX 1080 Ti is predestined for playing in 4K / UHD resolution and a very good platform for experiencing the virtual reality – a VR-glasses with huge 11 GB of video memory, enormous 3,584 computation cores (CUDA cores) and high GPU clock rates As the HTC Vive provided.
The production of the graphics chips in the 16 nm FinFET process makes it possible to accommodate sensational 12 billion transistors on the 471 mm² GP102 chip. The 16-nm process also adds a low power consumption of 250 watts TDP to the graphics card in combination with the Pascal architecture. This low TDP makes it possible, with a corresponding cooler design, to increase the chip clock over longer periods in the boost.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card is equipped with gigantic 11 GB GDDR5X video memory, which are connected to the chipset via a 352-bit memory interface. GDDR5X-VRAM has a 50 percent increase in bandwidth as a GDDR5-VRAM, which results in a memory bandwidth of 484 GB / s in combination with the high memory clock rate.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti features include DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, Vulcan, 3D Vision, NVIDIA Surround, Tessellation, PhysX, Ansel, CUDA, NVENC, SMX, GPU Boost 2.0, Adaptive Vertical Sync, SLI, Sync, VXGI, Super Resolution, 4K Ultra HD Support, 4K Surround, NVIDIA ShadowPlay, NVIDIA GameStream, HDCP and Simultaneous Multi-Projection 4.0.
Virtual Reality and 4K gaming with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
Simultaneous Multi-Projection (SMP) version 4.0 allows the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti to save geometry performance during rendering by deriving multiple views from a single geometry calculation. The Pascal architecture supports up to 16 of these simultaneous viewports. SMP is especially interesting for Virtual Reality (VR) and can dramatically improve the performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in the VR display compared to its predecessors.
A component of SMP 4.0 is the so-called lens-matched-shading (LMS), which optimizes the image computation by not calculating image contents, which are blurred by the lenses in the VR glasses. The curved lenses lie between the eye and the display, so that a correct adaptation of the image has to be made.
Asynchronous Compute is the simultaneous execution of rendering and compute commands and is particularly interesting in combination with APIs such as DirectX 12 or Vulkan. Here, more efficient and thus faster communication between the CPU and the GPU takes place. With Pascal, the GTX 1080 Ti is able to cancel and save calculations (Pre Emption).
Asynchronous Timewarp and Interleaved Reprojection technique are methods used by VR glasses to prevent the Framerate from dropping below 90 hertz. With Asynchronous Compute, the GP102 graphics chip can better prioritize these two techniques that are important for VR and guarantee an incredible VR experience!
In order to make full use of the cards full potential, new drivers from NVIDIA or the manufacturer should be downloaded and installed at regular intervals.
