In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Zotac AMP! are marginally better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSI Gaming X 11GB.
The GTX 1080 Ti has a 89 MHz higher core clock speed and the same number of Texture Mapping Units as the GTX 1080 Ti. This results in the GTX 1080 Ti providing 20 GTexel/s better texturing performance. 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 has a 89 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 1080 Ti and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 1080 Ti providing 7.9 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 1080 Ti was released less than a year after the GTX 1080 Ti, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
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 Zotac AMP! and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSI Gaming 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 Zotac AMP! and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSI Gaming 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.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Zotac AMP! has 1683 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSI Gaming X 11GB has 3584. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1080 Ti is 3824 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1080 Ti is 7654. The GTX 1080 Ti having 3830 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the GTX 1080 Ti performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Zotac AMP! requires 220 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSI Gaming 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.
