This time the company’s top video card is participating in our test. Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC, kindly provided to us by the company Telemart.. This video card is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, operates at a frequency of 2640 MHz, has 9728 stream processors and 16 gigabytes of video memory.
| APPEARANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS |
This subsection of our review highlights the main aspects of the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC, such as appearance and hardware configuration.
| APPEARANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS |
The Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC video card comes in a fairly large package.
The Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC kit includes the video card itself, a power adapter, and a video cards support bracket.
On the side we have a 12-pin power connector, a typical feature for all the latest video cards.
The video card looks and feels very stylish.
The video card has 4 video outputs – 1 HDMI and 3 DisplayPort, all of them support 8K resolution.
On the reverse side there is a rather immodest cutout for greater air flow capacity; in general, the design is the same as all RTX 4080/4090.
Compared to the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 OC Edition, the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC video card looks quite compact…
Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC is built on the AD103 GPU with 9728 CUDA cores. The frequency limit of this instance is 2640 MHz, but in games it reaches 2780 MHz. The video card received 16 GB of GDDR6X memory with a frequency of 22 GHz. Memory bandwidth is 0,768 TB/s.
| HEATING AND POWER CONSUMPTION |
The Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC gluttony test was carried out in conjunction with an Intel Core i9 13900K 3.2 GHz + Z690 AORUS MASTER in a closed Thermaltake Core V51 case:
In “Donut” in stock mode, the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC shows 64 degrees, consumption is 333 Watts. The system consumes about 456 watts from the outlet.
When overclocked, the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC temperature already reaches 69 degrees, consumption is 390 Watts. From an outlet, the system consumes about 528 watts.
В Cyberpunk 2077 in stock mode, the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC shows 63 degrees, consumption is 307 watts. From the outlet, the system consumes about 563 watts.
В Cyberpunk 2077 overclocked Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC shows 64 degrees, consumption 319 watts. The system consumes about 575 watts from the outlet.
As we can see, the difference in frequency between the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC in the donut test and games is noticeably different. In games, the overclocked card easily reaches 3 GHz, in the stability test its frequency does not exceed 2,8 GHz.
