Nvidia’s new top of the line GPU arrived with quite a bang.
TheGeForce GTX 1080allows for no-compromise 4K gaming on a single GPU.
Hitting that lofty target requires more than any single card on the market can deliver.
Two GTX 1080s, of course.
If anything, it’d bound to become more limited than before due to theexpensive new high-bandwidth SLI bridge.
Nvidia claims the extra bandwidth is required to adequately drive high resolution displays.
This behemoth of a card measures 285mm long and stands 133mm tall.
It also occupies three expansion slots for good measure.
The GameRock PE’s size isn’t superficial either.
Under that massive fan shroud is one of the largest heatsinks we have ever seen on a graphics card.
All told, there’s around 120mm x 185mm worth of aluminium fins, standing 30mm tall.
It is an intriguing design choice, though Palit makes no concrete claims regarding performance.
Palit has also capped their card off with some fancy RGB lighting and a nice big backplate.
Enabling this feature, however, seems to kill SLI scaling.
