MSI Announces Massive GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X TRIO

At the Tokyo Game Show 2017 MSI is showing off a rather massive GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card, they are calling it the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Trio. If you are familiar with MSI’s Gaming X series cards you know they’ve featured a dual-fan design for a very long time. Well as you might have guessed the Gaming X Trio will have three fans.

The fans will be three of MSI’s Torx 2.0 fans, with the two outer fans being larger and the inner fan being a little smaller. This design makes the card massive, even in comparison to MSI’s own GTX 1080 Ti Lightning card. It might actually be the largest GTX 1080 Ti out there!
