Palit GTX 1080 GameRock Premium Edition Review

Just like the original game Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light is played from the perspective of Artyom, the player-character. The story takes place in post-apocalyptic Moscow, mostly inside the metro system, but occasionally missions bring the player above ground. Metro: Last Light takes place one year after the events of Metro 2033, following the canonical ending in which Artyom chose to proceed with the missile strike against the Dark Ones (this happens regardless of your actions in the first game). Redux adds all the DLC and graphical improvements.

Quality-Very High, SSAA-on, Texture Filtering-16x, Motion Blur-Normal, Tessellation-Normal, Advanced Physx-off.

metro 1440p

At 1440p at such high settings, even the Palit GTX 1080 GameRock Premium Edition struggles to hold frame rates close to 60 at all times. Still its the fastest performing single GPU solution we have tested.

    What about EVGA FTW? I’ve heard it the fastest card isn’t it why it didn’t include in this test?

  2. No it’s not. Actually it’s the weakest of the whole lot.

  4. Lol, no. He meant the reference Nvidia 1080 as the fastest card in the world (which actually was) and the EVGA has improved its performance and cooling (which also is true). That said, the others AIB cards do that too, and better as the EVGA (bar the Gigabyte Gaming G1).
    At the moment you have the Zotac AMP Extreme as fastest 1080 closely followed by the Palit. The EVGA is rather noisy and hot.

  5. Very good reveiw… enjoying KitGuru..

  6. So glad I picked one of these up for only £480 off amazon.

  7. I like the looks but is this going to give the 11gb/s upgrade like everybody else is?
