Palit GeForce GTX 980 Ti Super JetStream Video Card Review

Introduction

I've only been reviewing video cards for TweakTown since December, where I've just secured myself my first Palit-made card. I've been a fan of Palit's work over the years, but this is the first time I've had one to review, and boy is it a special card.

Palit is a company that some people might not have heard of in the sea of brands like ASUS, MSI and GIGABYTE, but you really should know about them. The company has been around since 1998, with its operations being done from Taipei. The company has a logistics center in Hong Kong, factories in Mainland China and a brand office in Germany. The company is behind some truly unique designs, including its enthusiast cards like the Super JetStream range of cards. These cards are kick ass, and that's what we have today with the Palit GeForce GTX 980 Ti Super JetStream.

Quick Specs

Palit has one of the best GeForce GTX 980 Ti cards we've seen so far, keeping up with the likes of the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ that we reviewed not too long ago. Most of the new GeForce GTX 980 Ti cards will have similar clocks to one another, with the coolers being the big change between the GM200-powered cards.

When it comes to specs, you can see above that Palit has clocked the GM200 GPU at 1152MHz, with the Boost Clock at 1241MHz. The RAM sits on its default 7GHz, with 336GB/sec of memory bandwidth on its 384-bit memory bus. We have the usual 2816 CUDA cores, 4GB of GDDR5, and display output configuration consisting of 3 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI 2.0 and DVI.

Availability & Price

The Palit GeForce GTX 980 Ti Super JetStream isn't available in the US right now, but you can secure it from Scan Computers in the UK for the equivalent of $832 USD. It's on preorder right now, with more stock on its way soon.
