Alright, here we have the Palit GeForce GTX 680 JetStream edition. Overall a nice but sure, slightly odd looking card. Let's look at the factory overclocked card from several different viewpoints. The GTX 680 card is quite good looking with the black colored monitor connectors and then that triple fan JetStream cooler. The card is equipped with the GK104 GPU that harbors the new Kepler architecture. You get the basics like the graphics card, PEG converter cables, manual and a demo and driver CD.
The card will come with two GB of graphics memory, that's definitely enough if you are a hardcore gamer with a monitor resolution of 1920x1200. If you plan to game on triple monitors then later on a 4 GB model might become an option as well, that would definitely help you out in the uber high resolutions and hefty AA combinations.
Here we can see the triple fans a little better, combined with the 8CM-9CM-8CM Smart Fans, heat is effectively drawn away from hot spots.
Here we have the PCB itself which is based on a 6-phase power design with two added phases for the memory subsystem thus that's a 6+2 phase design following the reference design 100%. The card is PCIe gen 3.0 compatible. Going from PCIe Gen 2 to Gen 3 doubles the bandwidth available to the add-on cards installed, from 500 MB/s per lane to 1 GB/s per lane. NVIDIA still needs to release a driver opening up that function though. For now all cards are limited towards gen 2.0 PCIe.
Palit now uses DrMOS MOSFETs on the PCB, originally only available for high-end server CPUs. DrMOS offers high current circuits, low noise operation, and reduction of heat output.
The card is 27 cm in length by the way. Included in the bundle is a small manual, power converter, DVI-DSUB and DVI to HDMI converters, a driver CD oh and one card ;)
Palit GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost OC edition review
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.
