Here's my 2 cents for a gpu msi 1080 armor oc:
I bought the card some time ago but now it will be honest opinion ;)
I bought the card for 2500z? = 700$ = 580? was the cheapest of 1080's at the time.
Card comes in nice box with comic, stickers and drivers on cd.
Card is 2-slot model lenght is close to founders edition, card is much wider then FE 2-3cm more.
Power connector 6-pin and 8pin.
Card have 1657 base clock and boost 1797 but in games it boosts to 1911mhz. OC to 2GHZ stable but downclock because of high temp 85*C.
Memory is at 11GHZ stable.
Fans MAX rpm is 2200 its lower than 40db.
Here's a link to PCPARTPICER to my competed build --> https://pcpartpicker.com/b/C76scf ( i cant post any pictures here cuz of this error )
 The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:  The message exceeds the maximum allowed length (65535 characters).  
Card match my white-black color build. It has no lights, leds and i'm thankfull for that. One thing this product should have is backplate.
THIS is nessesary because of the gpu sag and the dust on pcb i have no possible way to clean.
Here some 3D Mark Scores:
Time Spy 7293 Score: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/3713552#
Fire Strike 17776 Score: https://www.3dmark.com/fs/15219724
In games this card destroys everything. I have 1440p 144hz monitor:
144+ in detiny 2 high settings
100+ in battlefield 1 high settings
144+ in rainbow six siege high settings
120+ in pubg medium settings with low foliage, ultra AA, ultra distance

Overall card got a 8/10
-1 for high temps 80*C max while playing but i keeps at 76-79*C and idle at 32-36*C with custom fan curve ( temp + 15 --> example 50*c = 65% fan speed )
-1 for no backplate (c'mon MSI even cheap 1050-1060 gaming x have it)
p.s

MSI i really hope for Review points for MSI REWARDS PROGRAM ;)
Good Day!
