Purchased in 2018, the best GPU for 1080p gaming.
The MSI Gaming X model has the best thermals, also MSI uses military-grade components on their custom PCB, they don't use the same PCB given by Nvidia as other manufacturers do. If you've purchased this during 2018, there's no need to upgrade to a new model now. The price here on MDComputers is slightly high. I got it from a local shop here in Bangalore.
I bought this GPU 2 years ago for 25000rs and this was the best thing I bought out of all my other components. I have pretty much changed all the other components except this GPU. Never had any issues with it and even now its performance is top-notch for 1080p gaming. I can get 70 to 100 fps in recent AAA games like the shadow of the tomb raider, forza horizon 4, destiny 2, final fantasy easily on high setting. The base clock gets up to 2100 and memory goes to 4800 after overclocking in the afterburner on a full 100% synthetic load with the fans at 65%. The max temp is 70C usually while gaming the temps hover around 65c and the GPU isn’t even audible and on idle. The fans don’t even spin because of MSI's ZERO FROZR feature. It has RGB. A really clean design great cooling and even an amazing backplate. Overall I’d say for 1080p gaming, it's still a great choice you won’t regret it. I didn’t.
I bought it last year after a long research. It fitted perfectly for all I wanted from a GPU at this price segment. The performance is astonishing. Great look and build quality. Love the backplate with our most beloved dragon logo. I also really like the zero RPM fan mode because it made my pc quite and surprisingly quiet even under full load! The best graphics card I have used thus far. Love you MSI!
