Overclockers UK finally gave us more info about the fastest MSI’s GeForce GTX 1080 model, the GAMING Z.
MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING Z
So what’s GAMING Z? Z is the faster variant of GAMING X, it has higher clocks and RGB backplate.
Apart from that we have the same card. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if X was flashable to Z..
One thing that is not listed at OCUK website is memory clock, so we don’t know yet how fast is the Z’s memory. For comparison, GAMING X has 10108 MHz memory for OC mode. Here are all clock modes for both cards:
| MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING Z | MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING X | |
| OC Mode | 1911 MHz / 1771 MHz | 1847 MHz / 1708 MHz |
| GAMING Mode | ? | 1822 MHz / 1683 MHz |
| Silent Mode | ? | 1733 MHz / 1607 MHz |
| Backplate | RGB Backplate | non-RGB backplate |
