We overclock using the latest version of MSI Afterburner V4.3.0. beta 4.
We pushed the core as far as we could before instability would occur. We hit a boost speed limit around 2046mhz, although we noticed when gaming that it was often peaking over 2,100mhz.
When overclocked to the limit, the Palit GTX 1080 GameRock Premium Edition scores 24,643 points, putting it ahead of the AMD R9 295X2.
What about EVGA FTW? I’ve heard it the fastest card isn’t it why it didn’t include in this test?
No it’s not. Actually it’s the weakest of the whole lot.

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.
Very good reveiw… enjoying KitGuru..
So glad I picked one of these up for only £480 off amazon.
I like the looks but is this going to give the 11gb/s upgrade like everybody else is?
