A new addition to MSI's ‘Gaming X' series of products, the GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Trio is actually the first triple-fan card to join the Gaming X family. Because of that, as well as several design tweaks, it is perhaps more accurate to think of this as a hybrid of the Gaming X and Lightning models. The limited edition GTX 1080 Ti Lightning remains MSI's flagship card, but the Gaming X Trio is not far behind and should also be more readily available.
