Palit GTX 1080 GameRock Premium Edition Review

Hitman (2016) is a third-person stealth video game in which players take control of Agent 47, a genetically enhanced, superhuman assassin, travelling to international locations and eliminating contracted targets. As in other games in the Hitman series, players are given a large amount of room for creativity in approaching their assassinations. The game is being released in stages, which hasn't proved too popular with a large audience.

We test with many of the settings maximised, SSAO is disabled however as I found it causes some crashing. I have to say that Hitman is a little unstable at times under the best of situations, but we managed to get it running well enough to benchmark. The built in benchmark is very flaky indeed however, so real world runs had to be used.

At Ultra HD 4K the AMD R9 295X2 takes top position, although the Palit GTX 1080 GameRock Premium Edition commands second place, ahead of other GTX1080 cards.

    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?
