without a doubt one of the very best geforce gtx 1080 graphics cards i've reviewed so far is the game with phoenix gel h which for those wondering is the same product as the pallet GT x 1080 gamer of premium edition the game we brand is owned by palette and has been since way back in 2005 this means those that didn't like the red gold and black design of the phoenix gel age have the option to purchase it in blue grey and white as the game Rock PE now the arrival of gtx 1060 we find a similar situation consumers have the choice of the gamer gtx 1060 golden sample or pallet gtx 1060 jetstream the game would card sticks with the same color scheme is this bigger 1080 brother while the pallid GTX 1060 jetstream features much more neutral colors pilot is going with a very cool-looking silver and black theme and this should really suit just about any build like the founders Edition the jetstream measures 250 millimeters long but while invidious design stands 110 millimeters tall the jet stream is 123 millimeters tall thanks for the oversized cooler speaking of which the college has been constructed primarily from plastic but does feature aluminium trimmings which have been painted silver moving air over the heatsink below or a pair of 90 millimeter fans featuring palettes new turbo fan blade design these fans are extremely quiet even when the card has been placed on the logo for an extended period in total there's two hundred and ten millimeters by 73 millimeters at 28 millimeters thick worth of heatsink improving efficiency of four six millimeter copper heat pipes which connect to a large base plate that also covers the six gddr5 memory chips as well as the VRMs the PCB design has been changed and now we find a four plus one power phase design a slight upgrade over the founders Edition the PCB also stretches the full length of the card so again we find the six p-m PCIe power connector at the end of the graphics cub that being the case no upgrades to the power input have been made so there's nothing here that really suggests the jet stream will overclock any better than the fans Edition graphics card out of the box the pallid GTX 1060 super jet stream does come in the factory overclock the base clock has been set at 1620 megahertz which results in a boost clock of 1847 megahertz the memory base has been left at 2 gigahertz in the same data rate of a gigabits per second that's an 8% core overclock and nothing on the memory around the back we find a huge full-size backplate protecting the card though the aluminium plate is pretty boring in terms of design the i/o configuration remains standard with a single dual link DVI output HDMI 2.0 B and three display ports when it came to overclocking the card we were able to push the memory up to 2300 to megahertz while the core reach 1745 megahertz resulting in a boost clock a 1973 megahertz however due to the way a GPU boost 3.0 technology works the gtx 1060 jetstream spent most of its time operating at about 2.1 gigahertz just like the founders Edition again we weren't able to increase the voltage but the power target was maxed out at 119 percent for a full list of the test system specs please check the video description and please note only AMD and video reference cards have been used alright let's get into the benchmarks first up we've got everyone's favorite ARMA 3 here the Pella car performs identically to the founds Edition out-of-the-box and with our customer clock applied it was 2 FPS faster at 1440p next we've got our staple game benchmark in battlefield 4 and again the results on the palette card are very similar to that of the founders Edition this time it was 2 FPS faster out of the box and again 2 FPS faster with our customers he applied Far Cry primal show very similar result again with the jet stream managing to get a single frame over the factory clock bounce Edition and again 2 FPS higher once both cards were overclocked okay so you're starting to get the picture in Just Cause 3 palette card was a single frame faster and here in star wars battlefront it was identical out of the box and 2 frames faster when overclocked and finally in the division it was again just a single frame faster at the stock clocks and 2 frames faster when overclocked this palette card managed to scrape in these very few extra frames over the 10 60 founds Edition whilst consuming an additional 10 watts of power on average so there was a slight trade-off there we often see board partner cards using more than invidious reference cards so no real surprises here I perhaps expected better cooling than we saw here from the partner car but that's compared to invidious bounds Edition which honestly seems to have a really good quality cooler on board that's already doing a great job at Norma's dead silent 1000 rpm the jet stream did let the 1060 GPU reach 70 degrees which is quite a bit hotter than the 64 degrees of the found Sedition card however if I manually increase the fan speed to 1,400 rpm the card was just audible and dropped down to just 62 degrees using the automatic fan profile with our custom overclock applied the temps rose to 73 degrees palette is clearly focused on operating volume rather than operating temperatures so with the super jet stream and with the temps well below 80 degrees it makes sense as I wrap up this review I'm reminded of my first GT X 1080 review based on the gigabyte g1 gaming I walked away from that review pretty disappointed with the cards performance Nova clocking Headroom however after testing numerous other GT X 1080 graphics cards it quickly became clear the g1 gaming was getting the most out of invidious new Pascal GPU I suspect the same will be true for the GTX 1060 in palette super jet stream for the most part the palette car was just 1 to 2 FPS faster and out of the box configuration than when comparing the maximum stable overclocked performance of both cards the jet stream again came out on top by just 1 to 2 fps unfortunately it did run slightly hotter and consume slightly more power to the good news though was the operating volume which was near silent even with the fan forced to spin at 1400 RPM the card was very cool and we quickly saw the load temperature dropped to 262 degrees of course the real victory here should be the price that I'm expecting the GTX 1060 super jet stream to cost around $250 I wouldn't imagine pallette were charged more than a 10 to 20 dollar premium for this model it'll be interesting to see if palette or any other poorer partner comes up with a more crazy 1060 design one that increases power phase design further and includes not one but two PCIe power connectors still given the 1060 is meant to be a cost-effective mid-range product and is already under pressure from AMD Tsar X 480 it's unlikely we'll see many extreme versions of the 1060 overall I really like the palette gtx 1060 super jet stream the dual fans are nice and quiet the design looks great and the inclusion of a full sized backplate was a welcomed addition what did you guys think let me know in the comments I'm your host Matt as always and I'll
