Palit GeForce GTX 780 Ti JETSTREAM Pro Reviews

Palit's GTX 780 Ti Jetstream comes with a large overclock out of the box—one of the biggest on the market. As a result, the card ends up faster than the GTX 690 when averaged over our benchmarks. Compared to the stock GTX 780 Ti, it achieves a 7% improvement. Pitted against AMD's offerings, it's 15% faster than the R9 290X and only 2% slower than the HD 7990—without the troubles that a multi-GPU setup provides. We've seen Palit's powerful triple-fan, triple-slot cooler on similar cards from the company before, though I am unfortunately not that impressed with it. While it certainly delivers good temperatures, the noise experience is not improved in a way to justify the cooler's additional space requirements. To me, it looks as though Palit only focused on lowering temperatures, and to a point that doesn't do much for you; that is, instead of balancing temperatures and noise. Allowing the card to reach 70°C instead of 65°C could have cut noise emissions during gaming in half, which would have been a game changer for many players. Like on all other GTX 780 Tis we've reviewed before, overclocking works very well. Palit's use of Hynix memory chips also ensures that memory overclocking works much better than on recent cards with Elpida chips. Overall, we got another 10% real-life performance out of a card that's already overclocked out of the box—pretty good.
