From a stock performance perspective, the MSI GTX 1080 Ti Armor 11G is a beast of a card. It over delivers its rated boost clock speed by a wide margin in pretty much every game and load that I tested with. This allows it to deliver exceptional performance metrics in each and every game. I mean, the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti FE was a great card in its own right, but MSI takes that baseline and expands on it to drive performance a little bit further. You cannot argue with the FPS performance delivered by this card. However, as an aftermarket partner built, factory overclocked card that is the expectation. At stock speeds, there is no doubt that this card is the top performer in every test. When overclocked, the margins get a bit tighter and the GTX 1080 Ti FE does outperform the MSI Armor in a few tests, but just barely.
