The Gaming X has a higher clock base speed, has a higher gaming boost clock speed (OC), minor aesthetic changes such as a lighter backplate and the plastic on it looks a little shinier on the red and black.
That's about it in terms of differences between the two. If the Gaming X was cheaper than the regular MSI 1080 Gaming, then that is fine to spend, but if the Gaming X is going for even $30+, it's not really worth it because you can easily overclock the original Gaming with MSI Afterburner and still reach speeds without paying a higher price.
