Product Showcase

With its three DisplayPort ports, the Palit JetStream could do 4K monitors in surround. The card is based on a dual-slot dual fan cooling solution and has 0dB Fan Technology. You can play in complete silence because the fan stops completely when the GPU temperature remains below a set level, that is 60 Degrees C, after that the fans will kick in. 

At the top of the card you can see the two 6-pin power headers. A multi phase power supply is responsible for supplying the GPU and memory with power. One additional phase power supply is dedicated to the board’s GDDR5 memory. 
 

Here we have removed the cooler showing the PCB and its components, you can see a very standard 3+1 power phases that feed the GPU and memory. Overall a cute and tiny yet clean PCB design alright with the VRM area nicely covered with a heatsink.
 

As you can see the Jetstream cooler heat-pipes make proper contact with the GPU. We mention this as recent finding have shown improper designs, yes I am talking here about EVGA with their ACX coolers. There are three heat-pipes being used to transfer heat towards the radiator fins. All heatpipes have been nicely sealed and contain a gas to transfer heat.
 

As you can see, the card has SLI connectors so if you've got cash to spend, 2, 3 and 4-way SLI are an option to pursue, though we always recommend two cards maximum for the best scaling and as few driver issues as possible. 
 

Tweaked; we’ve seen this 970 board reach over 1.4 GHz on the Turbo clock frequency very easily, very nice but we'll talk more about that later on in this article.
