Palit GeForce GTX 670 JetStream review

The GeForce GTX 670 has a maximum power consumption of 170~180 Watts, you'll need to power the card with two 6-pin PCIe PEG leads from your power supply. Due to the small PCB the connectors look a little oddly placed, but that is because the cooler is longer than the actual PCB.
Power supply wise we recommend a 550 power supply to start with, with one card of course.

The GeForce GTX 670 PCB measures 9.5 in length. Display outputs include two dual-link DVIs, one HDMI and one DisplayPort connector. The top part has been kept open for ventilation so that the card can exhaust hot air, the cooler design however will vent hot air into the chassis.

The JetStream GeForce GTX 670 has a similar looking cooler design that the JetSTream GTX 680 also uses, however this one is 2-fan 3-slot based and the capacity much lower. Inside the fan acoustic dampening materials have been used to prevent fan noise and unwanted weird tones. Once activated an LED will emit blue light from the cooler.

Once the ambient air has been used to cool the GPU, the hot air will be blown only partially outside the PC through the exhaust as you can see above the monitor connectors. However most of the heat will be blown into the chassis itself as the cooling casing is open close to the PCB and rear side. Make sure you have proper ventilation inside the PC chassis... always.
For this review we test and benchmark the Palit GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost OC edition. The product comes customized with their own PCB design, a dual-fan cooler, 2GB of memory with both that memory and the core baseclock slightly overclocked.
Palit GeForce GTX 660 Ti Jetstream review
In this review we'll look at the GeForce GTX 660 Ti from Palit, it's their all beefed up version, the GeForce GTX 660 Ti JetStream version. The GTX 660 Ti again has been equipped with a JetStream series cooler yet which remains a 3-slot design. It runs at a core clock frequency of 1006 MHz, has a boost frequency of 1085 MHz and the effective memory data rate (192-bit) is 6108 MHz.
Palit GeForce GTX 670 JetStream review
We review the Palit GeForce GTX 670 JetStream graphics card. the JetStream version which comes pre-overclocked at 1006 MHz on the baseclock and an impressible 1084 MHz on the boost clock. More interestingly, the boost clock during our test sessions was actually closer to 1200 MHz most of the time (!). To give the card enough framebuffer to work with the cards are equipped with 2048 GDDR5 on a 256-bits wide bus. Palit clocks this memory at 6108 MHz.
Palit GeForce GTX 680 4GB Jetstream review
We review the Palit GeForce GTX 680 4GB Jetstream edition. Why 4 GB ? Well some of you like to game at extremely high resolutions or have 8xAA as a bare minimum. If a graphics card runs out of graphics memory it'll starts swapping frames back and forward in that framebuffer which decreases the overall framerate. So today we'll look at the 4GB model, we'll specifically place a focus at some tests at 2560x1600 with a good chunk of AA enabled to see what difference the extra 2GB graphics memory will bring us in terms of performance.
