The GeForce GTX 760 - Streaming like a Jet

In this article we review the Palit GeForce GTX 760 JetStream, and this particular model comes with a dual-slot two fan JetStream cooling solution. That as always means a more silent product and fantastic cooling performance. Palit offer the card factory overclocked to you and has revised the JetStream cooler a bit. 

The GeForce GTX 760 is a re-spin product, meaning NVIDIA took an older GPU, rebadged it, tweaked some parameters and injects it back into the market at better price-point. You might like that, or not. But the fact remains that the GeForce GTX 760 is to be considered a mainstream to high-end product, yet comes at a competitive price with the very same chip used in the GeForce GTX 670 and GTX 680. And that a year ago, were the second and top high-end graphics cards. As such the card remains very interesting in terms of performance. See the GK104 GPU itself being used will have two shader clusters disabled. This gives the GK104 GPU 1152 CUDA cores to work with, with in total, 96 texture and 32 raster operating units. The GPU being used is actually tagged as GK104-225 A2. The graphics card also has slightly slower clock frequencies than big daddy GTX 680. However the GTX 760 comes with a Boost clock which is set at 1046 MHz. The core clock frequency (for the reference products) is 980 MHz with the 256-bit DDR5 memory clocking in at 6008 MHz.

With a TDP at roughly 170 Watts the card won't draw too much power either, but it surely packs power, it is silent and the GPU core temperatures remain completely under control. Board partners will be free to launch their own SKUs, all pimped  and beefed up, and that's where we start the next chapter.

Meet the GeForce GTX 760 JetStream edition from Palit. This is the 2GB edition that comes factory clocked for you at whopping 1072 MHz with a Boost clock of 1137 MHz. The GTX 760 series memory clock has been increased at an effective data-rate of 6200 MHz. This particular factory overclocked model comes with JetStream cooling design that has three 8mm heat-pipes running to the fin service area. Palit tweaked the colors a little, it now comes with a red shell. And once powered up two white LEDs will active at the FAN area to give the product a mystifying look.
