Aurora R7, who makes the GTX 1080 Ti cards?

Hi @mp_108,

They are OEM. We usually use EVGA or PNY as a reference.

1. As per title, which brand of gtx 1080 ti are fitted in aurora r7 when purchased from dell.

2. How do they compare to say asus or msi.

1. A year or so ago, it was MSI.

2. Depends on what model within each makers line-up. In MSI line, Aero is basic. However, it is a "normal height card" (so it fits) and a back-blower . It works/plays fine. 

Gaming-X is a level-up and appears to be a bit nicer (but more expensive).

Drops right into a huge Aurora-R1 , but it's "1-inch taller" so install into a Aurora R5-R8 is a bit challenging (search forum).

Nvidia.
