Palit GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GameRock Premium 11 GB

W1zzard · Apr 24, 2017

Palit's GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GameRock Premium is the company's latest flagship card. It introduces a new fan design in which two stacks of two fans each operate in a counter-rotating fashion. Also, the card comes with a dual BIOS and a large overclock out of the box.

Why are you guys still using Battlefield 3 to measure overclocking performance?

I doubt you are measuring the full difference use a game 6 years old! Let's just use Half Life 2 while we're at it.

Agony · Apr 24, 2017

so until now Asus is the best solution on 1080ti series the most cool and silent. I had the 980ti Palit super Jet stream and it was amazing... this 1080ti Palit omg its the worst

Actually BF3 still works really well to test OC performance, but I'm considering Unigine Superposition as OC test for the next rebench. It'll probably not detect errors as well as BF3, but higher OC clocks, even if not stable in other games, will make people happy

Air · Apr 24, 2017

I was curious to see if this crazy double fan at opposite directions (which I have never seen used in anything else) design would somehow work. But there it is, it doesnt work at all. Noisier and hotter than other dual fan cards. Purely marketing. Removing one of the fans would probably improve performance.

jabbadap · Apr 24, 2017

Yeah that fan design was a big let down. Out of interest is it compatible with GTX 1080 GameRock G-panel?

I agree that Battlefield games are excellent stability tests, but come on bud - BF4, BF1. These games have been released lol, so you can't use that excuse unless you are using the newest battlefield.

I would suggest Metro Last Light and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided as well. They are both excellent tests of stability, and they (Especially DE:MD) really push systems to their limits.

jabbadap · Apr 24, 2017

Well there's futuremark stress test. But yeah best stability test is to play games you would play anyway. Different game engines taxes different part of graphics cards.

previous Palit gtx 1080 GameRock review here - the most silent cooler from all aftermarket (even with equivalent clockes and temps MSI gaming X and Asus strix coolers were above little louder)...
But this quad-fan design is a big FAIL - from 30dB (that previous Palit- normal design) to 38 dB - that is a disaster (decibels - are logarithmic scale it is not like "oh it is 6 points from 32 - just around 25% louder" - it is a big fail and close to intolerable noise) - that is that happens when PR people take over and has no ideas how to get noticed .... "Turbo jet 4 quad fans" - "nice" work Palit guys

could not agree with you more, but what baffels me the most is the fact that they (Palit, Gainward) tested this card by them selves and how on earth they had the nerve to still release statements like: "The TurboJET4 fabricates dual Double-Fans with the anti-vortex design. It offers the high-centralized air volume and provides much more efficient on heat dissipation. This design even generates lower acoustic level than normal dual-fan design" (quote from their release notes in 17.04.2017)

ppn · Apr 24, 2017

Wishful thinking. Pa lit should provide detachable fans the old design so we can decide for ourselves which is better acoustic wise..Now we have to order spare parts from china.

BF3 OC test delivers insane FPS already, the move to 4K is very much justified to eliminate CPU bottleneck.

Superposition is popular, makes me happy too.

Grings · Apr 24, 2017

The Jetstream appears to still have dual fans

Its pretty demanding on a stable overclock, i can push higher clock speeds in 3D Mark, but running Unigine Superposition the bench just stops responding if your clocks aren't 100% stable.

On a side note why are all these aftermarket cards coming out with 2x8 pin PCI-e when its clear the power delivery is already overkill and has zero benefit for overclocking?

That's straight up laying. It seems marketing department also takes care of engineering at Palit.

If what they said was true, it would be a revolution. Every other company that makes fan-based heat exchangers (not only pc coolers but also stuff like air conditioning/refrigeration condensers and evaporators) would run to overhaul their lineups with this genius TurboJET4 (lol) desing...

I think its the first time that I see a marketing idea so nocive to the final product. Not only it has no benefits, not even looking better or being smaller (the kind of compromise that apple loves to make), but it makes performance much worse. All because that they think consumers are stupid enough to fall for the talk.

Nihilus · Apr 24, 2017

I have a feeling that there will be about 9 more 1080ti reviews. And they will ALL get 9.0 or higher because OMG THE 1080ti IS THE BEST!!

EarthDog · Apr 24, 2017

They get 9.0s because there isnt, seemignly, a system inplace to deduct x for x...its subjective... the reason I dislike results like that. Nobody can tell the difference between 9.3 and 9.4., even the reviewer..so, its useless, those values. That said, the conclusion amd results are worth their weight in gold.

Now if there is a method to that madness, i havent seen it posted...

About the only one i can get behind is oklahoma wolfs test at JG...

If i was you and knowing your demograhic, id stick to doing it with a game.

W1z, half the people here cant figure out how to take a screenshot in these benchmarks, none the less get formatting right for those who run the threads. Id stick to a modern game (and change it up a lot sooner next time!)..

Vario · Apr 24, 2017

should have just run thicker fans

no replacement for displacement

Aenra · Apr 24, 2017

I don't know if it's done on purpose or not, but anyway, a random's comment:

When you review a specific GPU model? Don't give me a performance table where it's measured solely against the reference. You reviewed its Asus, Gigabyte, MSI equivalents. So put the performance results in each game all together, just like you did in the end with temps.

Two degrees higher is nothing (again, for this here random commenter), but say, 4-5 FPS difference at pretty much the same price might be.
And either way, that would be a true review, would it not? This is more like a (paid/sponsored) presentation. Which of course is the case, but one could combine both i'd think.

Melvis · Apr 25, 2017

Not available in the USA gets a negative :roll:

silapakorn · Apr 25, 2017

LOL their new fan design is a fail.

Yup, with such a fantastic GPU it's difficult to fail, on the other hand it's also difficult to really innovate

pat-roner · Apr 25, 2017

Well that was disappointing. Palit are usually top notch when it comes to silence&temps, but they really blew it here.
I can't help but think why the hell they even released it?

There’s something wrong with the calculation of the price: €834 converts to 906.71 USD, as of today (http://www.x-rates.com/calculator/?from=EUR&to=USD&amount=834).
