[ Introduction ]

Today we have the latest and greatest offering from graphics card maker Palit, the GTX 780 Ti JetStream. Featuring an upgraded cooler that enables quieter operating volumes and lower temperatures along with a heavily overclocked core the JetStream takes an already very fast GPU and makes it even faster... The graphics card market has experienced some amazing turns lately, even though AMD and Nvidia haven't made serious architectural changes in 2013. Most recent GPUs have been rebadges, while a handful are just extensions of previous-gen technology, including the flagships from both camps. The R9 290X's Hawaii XT core boosted the performance of the HD 7970's Tahiti XT core around 38% with a memory bus that's 33% wider, while the GTX Titan is powered by a version of the GTX 680's GPU, except it's 90% bigger! Having traded performance blows, both companies are tightening their pricing, with the $400 R9 290 forcing the GTX 780 down to $500 from $650, further invalidating the GTX Titan, which is effectively history after the announcement of the GTX 780 Ti. Nvidia's latest offering packs 7% more CUDA cores and 17% increased bandwidth for $700 -- 30% less than the Titan, which is still $1,000 new, in case you want one for your museum. It may only be a tuned GTX 780, but we expect Nvidia's new Ti card to be the fastest single-GPU offering around. As if it wasn't already fast enough, Palit has armed its GTX 780 Ti with a massive triple fan air cooler, allowing the company to ship its variant of Nvidia's newcomer with a 12% overclock. With such a substantial overclock on an already very fast GPU, we are keen to see just how fast the Palit GeForce GTX 780 Ti JetStream is...

Posted on: 01/12/2014 06:50 AM Unfortunately like so many reviews of high performance GPUs, you fail to note or mention the slot width of the card (unless I missed it in my read). From photos of this card it appears the Palit is at least 2.5 slots width meaning it is effectively a 3 slot card placing it at a further disadvantage for SLI compared to many other 780Ti cards especially the Gigabyte card you mention.
