As always, we'll start off this review with our in-house photo-shoot. A few pages that show the ins and outs with photos, to get you a better idea to grasp what we are talking about in today's article.

The Super Jetstream is an enthusiast range 1070 Ti SKU that Palit will offer. They completely overhauled the design, little on the board design is reference design as they merely use the Pascal GPU. You will, however, see lots of similarities with GTX 1070 board designs that we have shown in the past. 
The card has familiar looks and is based upon a nice matte black PCB.

The card has one HDMI port and three DisplayPort connectors. A product that comes with one fast graphics processor harbored on a nice matte black PCB, two power headers (one 6 and one 8-pin) for a little more overclocking headroom. Obviously, it has some configurable RGB embedded as well. Once this card powers up, two things will come to mind: pretty nice aesthetics and the sheer silence it offers. Very nice. As board partners are not allowed to release the 1070 Ti model cards in their own configurations you will see many versions differentiating based on coolers and PCB design.

  • Boost: 1683 MHz / Base: 1607 MHz
  • Memory 8.0 Gbps GDDR5 (effective data-rate)

The card itself is wide, with a two and a half slot heat-pipe based cooling solution. In low-load situations fans are not active, thus up-to roughly 60 Degrees C on the GPU sensor, the cooling fans simply will not rotate, making this product hybrid in the sense that it cools both actively and passively. Check out the backside where there is a thick sturdy metal back-plate present, there are no real ventilation gaps, but the GPU backside has been left open, which is good. I'd like to see more gaps at the VRM area.

The 1070 Ti cards have a power design of 180 Watts, however, AIB partners applied complex phase designs as they overclock/tweak really well. So purely based on the tweaking design, expect some more power allowances. We'll check into that with our power measurements. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is DisplayPort 1.2 certified and DP 1.3/1.4 Ready, enabling support for 4K displays at 120Hz, 5K displays at 60Hz, and 8K displays at 60Hz. This model includes three DisplayPort connectors, one HDMI 2.0b connector, and one dual-link DVI connector.

At the top side of the Super Jetstream you'll stumble into a micro-switch, the card has a dual-BIOS. We assume you'll be tweaking the card, perhaps you might even be thinking about your own tweaked frequencies and save them into a customized BIOS? If such a BIOS flash should fail, you'll always have your fail-safe BIOS, which is great. I like the simplicity and ease of mind of a dual-BIOS configuration and it is something I would like to see more AIB partners implement pro-actively.
