Hardware performance for these gaming components can be compared to one of todays most popular games, Star Wars: Jedi - Fallen Order. In summary, we feel that the GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition looks and performs great on 1440p resolution. So if you want a 1440p Star Wars: Jedi - Fallen Order experience it will generate 116 FPS on Low 1440p graphics setting, 91 FPS when on Medium 1440p, 61 FPS when played at High settings and down to 44 FPS when turned up to Ultra on 1440p. You might still be looking for 1080p though to get some higher smoother FPS, where you could get 58 FPS at Ultra 1080p resolution. So something to think about.
