Have you been waiting for the right deal before upgrading your graphics card to a GeForce GTX 1080, the second best that Nvidia has to offer (behind Titan X)? If that is the case, now might be the time to pull the trigger. For the next seven days, Newegg is offering the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G on sale for $ 620, which is $ 70 below its normal retail price. There is also a $ 25 mail discount available that reduces the total cost to $ 595.
Now is a good time to be in the market for a GeForce GTX 1080 or 1070, whether this specific or different card. Nvidia is running a "Prepare for Battle" promotion where you can claim a free game with the purchase of any card or a system or laptop with one of those GPUs. You can choose between For Honor, which leaves on February 14, or Ghost Recon Wildlands, which arrives on March 7.
There is also a high-resolution texture pack for Fallout 4 coming next week for PC, and you will need a strong configuration to run it. Bethesda recommends no less than a GeForce GTX 1080 along with an Intel Core i7-5820K or faster processor and at least 8GB of system RAM.
MSI's custom cooling and factory overclocking card fit the bill better. It has three modes with the following clock speeds:
- Silent mode: 1.607MHz base, 1.733MHz boost
- Game mode: 1.683MHz base, 1.822MHz boost
- OC mode: 1.708MHz base, 1847MHz increase
The cooling fans on the card do not start until the temperature of the card rises above 60C. The cooling is further aided by 8mm thick copper heat pipes with a soft square shape at the bottom, a solid base plate and what MSI claims is premium thermal compound.
