MSI GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk EK X GPU outed

MSI has announced their first custom GTX 1080 Ti graphics processing unit (GPU). The GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk EK X promises to be a monster packing a pre-installed EK water block and a significant factory overclock.  

If you’re a gaming enthusiast then the Ti range of Nvidia cards will be familiar to you. For the others out there, to quote Nvidia “Ti. The most powerful two letters in the world of GPUs”. Basically, you’re looking at the top of the range.

This is not the first 1080 Ti out there, but this one comes with a custom EK water-cooling block already fitted.

EK water-cooling solutions are well respected and often the go-to brand for blocks, tubes and pipes.

The water block has MSI, dragon and GeForce GTX logos on the front. The side is emblazoned with the Sea Hawk logo and you even get “Mystic Light” RGB lighting.

The nickel-plated base covers GPU, memory and power section.

On the GPU’s rear IO you get dual HDMI 2.0 ports, dual DisplayPort 1.4 ports and a single DVI-D connection.

The card is based on Pascal GP102 GPU with 3584 CUDA cores and 11 GB of GDDR5X memory.
