Palit GTX780 Ti Jetstream Review
Up Close
The Jetstream cooler boasts two 80mm fans either side of the 90mm central one, with the two outer ones rotating anti-clockwise whilst the central fan spins clockwise. Coupling this to the fan design which promises higher air pressure, then the Jetstream certainly lives up to its grandiose moniker.Â
The shroud is, if anything, surprisingly plasticky once you get away from the bronze-effect that surrounds the central fan. If anything it actually feels and looks cheaper than the reference cooler. We’re so used to cards with swathes of brushed aluminium that to find one so unapologetically plastic feels slightly strange.
The card comes with 8 phase PWM which should give 30% extra current capacity over the reference model, which can only lead to higher clock speeds. Otherwise it’s business as usual with two 8pin PCIe power inputs and the outputs handled by a DisplayPort, an HDMI and two DVIs. It’s nice to see black DVI ports. A small thing, but it’s a nice change from the white/blue/yellow standard offerings.
