Product Showcase

Product Showcase: GeForce GTX 970

Let's start with our photo-shoot. Two pages worth of photos then and all of them from our own photo-shoot.

So as you can see, this is the Palit GeForce GTX 970 Jetstream. This model specifically comes with a faster standard clock frequency. So be on the lookout in the stores as there might be a regular and a factory tweaked Jetstream model OK ? Palit has built a custom board that diverts from the reference design. 

The card is like 25 cm in length with the cooler included. This card has higher factory clocks, the GPU core base clock is ticking over at a 1152 MHz core GPU clock frequency with a 1034 MHz Boost frequency. This card has less shader processors than a GeForce GTX 980 though, 1664 units. The memory has been kept reference at 7.0 GHz (effective data-rate) on its 256-bit wide memory bus of 4 GB GDDR5 memory.

The product comes with 0-dB Tech meaning the operating fans only spin up while working on heavier loads such as gaming when the GPU temperature surpasses 60℃.

The card will have a maximum power design of 145 Watts, but due to the higher clocks and extensive tweaking please allow for 15, maybe 20 extra Watts, these boards have been designed with overclocking in mind. Its power phases are fed from two 6-pin power header. In combo with component selection it should be plenty for a nice tweak (or two). 
 

The card will get five display connectors, Palit made a compromise though, so that there is more space to vent hot air outside of the chassis. See, the DP connectors are all mini size. You'll spot three Display Port connector, one mini HDMI 2.0 connector and one DVI connector. HDMI is 2.0 compatible meaning that compatible monitors and tellys can do UHD at 60 Hz, DP is 1.2 but has support for eDP 1.4.
