MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G Overclocking

Despite using the latest version of MSI's own Afterburner overclocking utility, we weren't able to unlock voltage control on this card, which is unfortunate, as we would expect it to be unlocked on a card of this calibre. We were able to increase the power limit to 117 percent and the temperature limit to 90°C, at least.

The card was stable with an extra 80MHz applied to the core, bringing us to 1,624MHz base clock and 1,738MHz boost clock. Under load, the card was boosting to just shy of 2,000MHz, which isn't bad.

The memory, meanwhile, capped out at 1.4625GHz, or 11.7Gbps effective, which is a six percent boost over the default 11Gbps.
