In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the GTX 1080 Ti and the GTX 1080 Ti are equal.
The GTX 1080 Ti and the GTX 1080 Ti have both the same core clock speed and the same Texture Fill Rate. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 1080 Ti and the GTX 1080 Ti have both the same core clock speed and the same Pixel Fill Rate. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
Both the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSI Lightning X 11GB were released at the same time, so are likely to be quite similar.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSI Lightning X 11GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSI Lightning X 11GB are the same, which means the GTX 1080 Ti and the GTX 1080 Ti have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
Both the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSI Lightning X 11GB have 3584 Shader Processing Units. Having the same number of SPUs and using the same architecture means that the performance they offer can be compared by looking at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, the two GPUs have extremely similar stats, so any gaming performance difference would most likely be negligible.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB requires 220 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSI Lightning X 11GB requires 220 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX 1080 Ti and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX 1080 Ti. The two GPUs require the same amount of wattage to run. As such, there is no need to worry about which will more significantly affect your yearly electricity bills.
