Nvidia Palit GTX 1080 Super JetStream review

**Introduction**

When you get into the control panel for the colors of a graphics card, you can change to any solid color on the RGB spectrum. This allows you to customize the look and feel of your gaming experience. In addition to changing individual colors, you can also adjust the temperature setting, which displays green when it's cooled and red as temperatures reach their limit. Furthermore, there is an option for a rainbow setting that cycles through various colors.

Beyond its color customization options, RGB is not the only feature that defines a graphics card. After examining benchmark results, it becomes clear that this particular variant of the GTX 1080 overclocks exceptionally well. The stock speeds are already factory-overclocked, but there is still room for further overclocking. This indicates that the graphics card has substantial headroom for performance enhancement.

**Performance at Different Resolutions**

Moving on to different resolutions, it's evident that this graphics card is overkill for 1080p, unless one aims for extremely high frame rates (e.g., 140 FPS). At 1440p, the performance is decent but not outstanding. Although there isn't a significant drop in performance when moving from 1080p to 1440p, running games at 120 FPS on 1440p is still challenging for this graphics card.

However, it's worth noting that at lower resolutions (e.g., 1080p), the graphics card starts to struggle. Achieving 60 frames per second at Ultra settings in modern games becomes difficult. Still, most games remain playable, even if they can't reach high frame rates at Ultra settings.

**4K Performance and Anti-Aliasing**

In terms of 4K performance, anti-aliasing becomes unnecessary, and switching it off results in a significant boost to performance. This is particularly noticeable when playing games that are already demanding at lower resolutions. However, since the reviewer doesn't have a 4k monitor, they can't comment on the actual impact of this setting change on visual performance.

**Conclusion**

The GTX 1080 and its variant with a custom cooler (Palette) offer excellent cooling efficiency and minimal noise. The graphics card itself is competitively priced, especially considering that it's one of the more affordable options in Japan. One potential drawback to consider is the need for additional space due to the two-and-a-half slot cooler.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enpower the GTX 1018 is no introduction at this point it's been around for ages and it's fairly well reviewed it's a powerful graphics card that's fairly efficient and it's been near the top of the graph it's got pile for a very long time now and it seems as though it's gonna stay there for the foreseeable future unless that new gtx 1070 TI is more menacing than it should be now because the graphics card has been around for as long as it has been there are quite a lot of variants of it on the market the one that i'm gonna be looking at today is from a less well-known manufacturer called pallet these graphics card cards aren't very popular in the west but here in the east they're everywhere and online retailers have them for really good specials quite often so it means you can get a really powerful graphics card for fairly cheaply the one that I have today is called this super jet stream which is their kind of Strix model it's got an eight plus two power phase design when it comes factory overclocked and with a huge cooler that's pretty efficient in keeping the graphics card cool although out of the box one of the fins in the color aluminium heat sink array was bent slightly and that isn't a huge issue though because the temperatures in the graphics card are pretty great it's pretty hard to push the graphics card over about over about 70 degrees Celsius even with a fairly healthy overclock on it as far as overclocks go I could get the graphics card to about twenty eighty on the core clock which isn't super high but I think the power supply and the PC might be a limiting factor because it's only a 550 watt power supply and the processor is quite heavily overclocked as well so I'll put it in a PC with a bigger power supply at some point and see if I can push it further as far as the memory overclockers I got it to about 5,800 where it's stable I really like the design of the backplate as well it's really understated and minimalist it's basically just black with a slight brushed finish when it comes to the RGB craze this graphics card delivers slightly it's got a small RGB lit logo on the side of the graphics card which has very even lighting I think it looks quite nice it's not nearly as overkill as something on some of the some of the gigabyte or Asus variants but I think it looks really nice I actually prefer the more understated look the the software is called Thunder master and it's it's useful but it's not nearly as comprehensive to something like orison from Asus it takes a bit of a clicking around but you can pretty much figure it out in in under a minute when you get into the control panel for the colors you can change to any solid color on the RGB spectrum or you can change to to a temperature setting which you know it's green when it's cooled and goes up to red when you're when you're reaching kind of throttling temperatures you can also do a rainbow setting which is pretty self-explanatory it's not as buoyant as some of the some of the other variants where you have these really dazzling light displays it's pretty much just it pretty much just cycles through the through the colors but again RGB is is is not the be-all and end-all of a graphics card I feel and with that out the way let's have a quick look at the benchmark and after having looked at those benchmarks I think it's pretty clear that this graphics card overclock so really well and it gains a lot of performance from overclocking this actual variant of the card is already factory overclocked so the stock speeds are with the factory overclock on it so the overclock on top of that is is beyond that still so there's still quite a lot of headroom for overclocking land now the graphics card is definitely overkill for 1080p unless you're doing like a hundred and forty frames per second then it's actually in quite a good position for that if you move up to 1440p it performs quite well I wasn't able to test everything at 1440p because I don't actually have a high resolution monitor and for some reason a bunch of the games wouldn't really work when upscale to 1440p but there isn't a huge performance hit going to 1440p from 1080p although if you're trying to do a hundred and twenty hundred 1440p it's not going to be quite enough for that we're moving on to 1080p this is where the graphics card starts to struggle a bit you're not going to be getting 60 frames per second at Ultra settings on the modern games but you're still going to be doing fairly well in all games were playable at 4k and one of the things with these settings is that with the Ultra presets on all of these games they actually ramped up the ante a liaison quite a lot and at 4k anti-aliasing really isn't necessary so if you switch that off I actually found it was quite a big job in performance and in when it meant that some of the games went from being below 60 frames per second to to about 60 frames per second and yeah I don't have a 4k monitors so I can't actually comment on what affect that actually had on the visual performance of the games in conclusion I really like the GTX 1080 and I really like this palette variant of the GTX 980 it's got a great cooler on it which is quiet and very effective it's pretty difficult to push the graphics card into high temperatures and you pretty much never hear it it's it's it's basically the quietest component in the PC that I tested it in while remaining very cool the graphics card is actually one of the cheapest variants you can find of the 1080 especially here in Japan where yeah you get a great graphics card for a great price one of the things about the cooler though is that it is a two and a half slot cooler which might be an issue for some people but I don't really think it's that big of a problem because I don't know of any modern motherboards that only have the PCI Express slots separated by one middle slot it's usually at least two slots apart so the two-and-a-half slot thingy shouldn't be an issue ek also makes a water block for the graphics card which I have and I'm gonna be liquid cooling it fairly soon and I'm going to be interested to see unfairly interested to see how much of an increase in overclocking performance you can actually get from the graphics card having it water-cooled as supposed to just air cool so that'll be quite exciting they have a look and look out from that video in the future if you like this video do you like and please subscribe to the channel so that you don't miss any future
