The Phoenix and the game rock is the perfect all-rounder
The test field includes two all-rounders who embody the best choice of Pascal flagship for most players: The Gainward GeForce GTX 1080 Phoenix GLH and the Palit GeForce GTX 1080 Game Rock Premium Edition. Both graphics cards are among the three fastest models in the test field and - just as important - are also with audible distance to the competition the two quietest candidates. While its power consumption is in the upper third, however, is not abnormally high. The only drawback is the enormous scale that result from the three-slot cooler with overhang. A look into his own, in order to verify that the graphics card can be installed easily, therefore is mandatory for both models.
positively surprised by the Gainward Phoenix. I used to own two Gainward Nvidia cards back in the days. Never had any problems with them
Considering the price (it is the cheapest of the bunch isn't it?) I would see the Gainward phoenix as the clear winner considering how great noise, temperature, clock are

yeah you are right the Palit card and the Gainward are pretty good in this particular test
They are lesser known brands in US/EU and I am really happy to see those two brands being able to outperform EVGA and ASUS.
The Palit is definitively good, but a little bit more expensive than the Gainward Phoenix. 779€ for the Palit Gamerocks Premium and 749€ for the Phoenix GLH.
I wonder how the "lesser" versions of those 2 cards perform. The Palit gamerocks (non premium) and the Phoenix (non GLH). Those are a lot cheaper with 709€ for the Phoenix and 714€ for the Palit Gamerock.
But it looks like those cards aren't broadly in stock. A couple of vendors only
Just get the one you like...or the one that will get water-blocks you like...or the one - like in my case - that would fit in a truly compact mITX case...i had to go with the G1 as I plan to fit it in a Cougar QBX, and cards taller than 120mm will not allow the side panel to mount...
I'm going to say this test is useless as no two cards are the same. Maybe if it had a much larger sample size, eg 10+ of each card. I've used a Founders Edition which happily boosts to 2,160 MHz and a G1 Gaming that fails to hit 2,050. It's all luck of the draw.

This post isn't true on the FE edition. When I first got my 1080s I ran them SLI on top of each other (matx) and got stable 2100Mhz gaming on both cards both in benchmarks and in games. I honestly am not sure if any of the special 1080s make any difference.
