Palit GTX1070 Game Rock Review

Up Close

In a world of black and red graphics cards, and with the current vogue for monochrome offerings, the Palit Game Rock stands out from the crowd with its white and blue colouring. Whether you like it or not is down to personal taste, as looks are always subjective. We are somewhat in the middle ground as we can appreciate what they are doing and respect their decision to swim against the tide, but we’re not wholly convinced that the final outcome was entirely successful.

The Game Rock logo on the back seems to be reminiscent of the Guitar Hero font. It’s odd to pick a typeface so clearly intended to replicate a famous logo, yet pick one that was at its peak of popularity a few years ago.

      

The blue edge is the part that you’ll see the most, and the Palit would be perfect for a system built around a Sabertooth or similarly white system scheme.

      

The heatsink is full of fins and just slightly larger than a twin slot offering. With plentiful heatpipes and two PWM fans the cooler on the Game Rock should dissipate what little heat the Pascal GPU generates with ease.
