Mine just arrived today and finished installing it. Firestrike score was a bit over 30k without any overclock (I use 7700K@4.8Ghz & 16G 3200Mhz overclocked RAMs).
I usually don't like RGBs inside my case because I only watch monitor+keyboard and mouse most of the time, but this card really made me put the desktop on top of my desk. very enjoyable lights.

WellPlayedI know i know, the Lightning Z is magic with these RGB, but really...
I had also the Lightning Z and it had same OC and Speeds like a 320euros cheaper 1080ti :p
To be serious, i would rather buy myself some shoes for 320euros instead putting it into Lightning Z that gives no performance increasement at all.. but the Cooling on that thing is insane tho...

DamianTReasons why I personally think this is better than any other 1080 Ti's :
1. It's a good investment if you don't plan to upgrade in next 4-5 years (Future proof).
(Thinking other 1080 Ti's are around $650~$800 on the market nowadays, and still most 980 Ti's price are about the same with low-tier 1080 Ti's)
2. The lower temperature on whatever you do with this GPU, gives me superior longevity on lifespan of its full potential by far more than any other 1080 ti's out there. (Even though 3-year warranty on this pretty much means nothing on this, because I'm certainly sure it's very unlikely to fail itself.)
3. Worry-free about throttle or system failures unless I accidentally break its parts.
4. Dead silent fans, especially when you are sensitive about noises (And that's probably why I spammed Noctua's A/F fans over Corsair's RGB HD fans, I like it all that fancy but it still gives me some noise issue to be taken care of.)
5. The peace of mind that you have the best graphic card that MSI has to offer on the market at the moment, and not having to worry about upgrade anymore for my daily computing is a huge plus. (Ultimately saves me money.)
Well, if you say no, everyone have different purpose for different product so.. whatever :)
PS. To exaggerate a bit, I can barely figure out if the system is on or not, when my eyes are closed :)

WellPlayedCard is a beast. With fans at 60% and very quiet the card runs 2025 solid. I can crank the fans and hit 2075, *on air.* All those people who say this card isn't worth it, go read through the various 1080 ti threads and Overclock.net. All the other cards feature extensive discussions about noise and thermals and undervolting and repasting. None of that applies to this card, just run it ootb at 2+Ghz clocks and little noise.
