I noticed on the EVGA website
https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+10+Series+Family&chipset=GTX+1080
those cards have different memory bandwidth
will they have any noticeable difference in picture quality, has anyone had the chance to test or review different cards with different memory bandwidths?

They have the same memory type and speed; it's most likely a typo because I don't see how they could be different.

those cards with only 1 8 pin plug should not be able to overclock as high as the MSI gtx 1080 gaming x with an extra 6 pin?

Yes the GAMING X is binned higher and comes with higher out of the box clock speeds.

Thanks for the quick replies!
I just purchased a used gaming x, hopefully it's good.

If something is wrong with it you can try to contact MSI to see if they have a transferable warranty. It hasn't been 3 years since the first GTX 1080 was released, so if they do it will still be under warranty.

Cool thanks!
