As you might expect, the MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G is going to outperform a card that comes with lower baseline core clock speeds, even if they are at the top end of the Gaming App range of speeds by default. In just about every test, MSI's GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G delivered higher FPS levels than the Founders Edition card. After the launch of the GTX 1080 and 1070 Gaming X cards, MSI took some heat about the Gaming X cards running at the Gaming App overclock settings by default. Some felt this was an unfair advantage that was not clearly advertised. The card does run faster by default than the advertised clock speeds, however you have the option of using MSI's Gaming App to slow things down a bit.
