From the manufacturer
Unique Dual Fan Design
ARMOR 2X thermal design is equipped with two of the award winning MSI TORX fans. Thanks to the patented blade design, MSI TORX fans provide strong cooling performance while remaining incredibly silent.
Maximize Heatsink and Airflow Control
Under the classy shroud and powerful dual fans is a huge heatsink with countless aluminum fins that help dissipate the heat from the GPU. The copper heatpipes are infused in the baseplate to ensure efficient cooling. The aluminum fins are rigged with Airflow Control technology to maximize airflow towards the heatpipes.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers like the quality, noise and value of the video card. For example, they mention it's a real card with good results, it runs great and is very quiet under full load. Some appreciate the graphics, saying it looks very impressive and the image and texture quality is crisp. That said, opinions are mixed on the temperature.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
If you’re looking for rock solid HD and 1440p (2K) performance, this card will deliver. (It also reportedly benchmarks respectably in 4K also, but my monitor is only 1440p, so I can’t comment there.) If you’re interested, I have basic benchmarks/technical stats at the bottom.
As some folks have mentioned, the card does tend to run hot out of the box and can thermal throttle at the DEFAULT settings, even with a well-ventilated case. Ive seen some criticism of the radiator design/fans allegedly not being sufficient for the card. A lot of this is based on confusion from the 1080Ti Armor edition reviews, which is a COMPLETELY different card (250TDP vs 180TDP – the 1080Ti draws more power, and therefore generates more heat). This same cooler was also used with the GTX 980Ti which does have a similar power/thermal footprint to the 1080Ti, so theoretically, criticism here may be overblown. All things considered, the GTX 1080 inherently runs cooler, so this cooler should technically be "overkill." In my experience, this cooling setup actually does a good job of with this GTX 1080 card and even offers overclocking headroom to spare if you’re into that kind of thing.
Some recommendations to get the most out of this card:
1. Double-check your case fan placement. I have two 140MM intake fans on the front, one 140MM exhaust on the back, and two 140MM exhaust fans on the top. Originally, I had the two top fans set to intake. I assumed that getting positive pressure in my case would promote pushing air past the video card, out of the case. However, I got a good 5 degrees C temp decrease by changing the top fans to exhaust instead. Heat rises? Who would have thunk.
2. I highly recommend downloading the MSI Afterburner utility from MSI’s website even if you don’t intend on overclocking. Why? My main gripe with this card comes down to the default fan curve. Out of the box, this card idles the fan at 50 degrees C or lower, and DOESN’T RUN THE FANS AT FULL POWER UNTIL THE CARD HITS 90 DEGREES C. GTX 1080 cards are set to thermal throttle at 83 degrees or higher... See where I’m going with this? If you set a more aggressive fan curve you can completely eliminate the boost clock throttling issues (I’ve got my fans set to 50% @ 50 degrees, 90% at 70, and 100% at 80). The fans run quiet and have hydrodynamic bearings, so running them at full load should not decrease the lifespan significantly. They are also very quiet under full load, so I’m genuinely perplexed why MSI was so conservative with their out-of-the-box tuning here.
Another minor nitpick is the lack of a back plate - but that's COMPLETELY cosmetic. Backplates do not provide any thermal benefits, they are 100% for show. Card sag is an urban legend made up to sell you hunks of aluminum. It also lacks bells and whistles like RGB lighting or fan headers, but that's a reasonable compromise for the price point. If you're buying this card, you're buying it for the performance. The black and white aesthetic is minimalist and looks pretty darn classy. It's not flashy, but you're planning to be looking at the screen, not at your chassis, right?

I couldn't decided between this and the equivalent ASUS 1080. Eventually the priced dropped on the MSI with a rebate (still waiting on that by the way since Nov) and even without the Gears of War 4 giveaway this card is a beast. Don't bother with an already OC'd model just do it yourself, plus you can't put the volts that high anyway. I was able to get +125 on the GPU and +500 on the mem (any higher and ECC kicks in).
Runs everything I throw at it. Deus Ex Mankind maxed out (no msaa) 60 fps solid @1080p. I can almost keep DOOM @ 4k (DSR to 1080p) nightmare settings solid 60 fps, some light dips to 50 fps in heavy scenes. Using the in game monitor I can see the GPU has no issues at that res, it's my CPU bottlenecking. Forza Horizon 3 @ 4k (DSR) High/Ultra settings 60 fps with dips to 50's but immediatley back up due to the Forza engine/optimization. Resolutions over 1080p have little impact on performance.
Heaven benchmark, extreme settings, 8xAA, 121.8 FPS (OC). Score 3021.
More than happy with this card.
