Let's start with our photo-shoot. A few pages that show the ins and outs with photos, all taken with an in-house photo-shoot of course.
Palit is back in the game with their Super Jetsream model, and it really is quite powerful as well for a product targeted in the mainstrem segment. Much like all manufacturers Palit much used the original GPU, and the rest was build from ground up. You will spot a matte black PCB with massive three slot cooler (inlusive RGB LED system at the top). Thanks to an RGB LED lighting system, you can match the colors schema of your PC to this card. We'll show you that later on of course.
As board partners are allowed to release the 1060 model cards in their own configurations you will see many versions, mostly based on customized PCB/component and the obviously mandatory different cooling solutions. This Super Jetstream edition of the series has higher clocks, RGB LEDs and a back-plate, all quite impressive. The card has default clock frequencies of 1848 MHz (boost) / 1620MHz (base) MHz and a proper 6GB GDDR5 at 8000MHz (effective data-rate) on the memory. Each 1060 will have a maximum power design of roughly and only... 120 Watts. Fear not, these are made to overclock as well. The card is using just one 75 Watts 6-pin PEG (PCI Express Graphics) connector. Another 75 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot and thus motherboard.
The card itself is a three slot solution, it is composite heat-pipe based, the GPU is cooled by a copper base plate directly connected to the heat-pipes. You won't hear the fan noise in low-load situations as the fans do not spin when they are not needed (up-to roughly 60 Degrees C), once it reaches that temperatures the fans will kick in. Check out the backside where there is a thick sturdy metal back-plate. You can see a proper gap at the GPU area, I would have liked to see a little more mesh at the VRM area though.
The GeForce GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080 are DisplayPort 1.2 certified and DP 1.3/1.4 Ready, enabling support for 4K displays at 120 Hz, 5K displays at 60 Hz, and 8K displays at 60 Hz (using two cables).
