Review and testing of the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC graphics card
This time, the top-end video card of the company Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC participates in our test . 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 reveals 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 card support bracket.
On the side we have a 12-pin power connector, a typical phenomenon for all recent video cards.
The graphics card looks and feels very stylish.
The video card has 4 video outputs - 1 HDMI and 3 DisplayPort, all of which support 8K resolution.
On the reverse side, there is a rather immodest cutout - for greater airflow throughput, in general, the design repeats all RTX 4080/4090.
Compared to the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 OC Edition, the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC graphics card looks quite compact...
Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC is built on 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. The 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 the "Donut" in stock mode, the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC shows 64 degrees, the consumption is 333 watts. From the outlet, the system consumes about 456 watts.
In overclocking, the temperature of the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC already reaches 69 degrees, the consumption is 390 watts. With the socket and the system consumes about 528 watts.
In 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.
In Cyberpunk 2077, overclocking the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC shows 64 degrees, the consumption is 319 watts. From the outlet, the system consumes about 575 watts.
As we can see, the difference in the frequency of the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC in the donut test and games differs markedly. In games, the card easily reaches 3 GHz in overclocking, in the stability test its frequency does not exceed 2.8 GHz.
