welcome back to harbor unboxed for today's video we have a review of pallets massive gtx 1080i super Jetstream graphics card as you can see this thing is a serious beast last week I did check out the Auris 1080 Ti and I was very impressed with that model but since then a heap of you have been asking me to review the super Jetstream so here we are like most gtx 980ti graphics cards of the super jet stream is big really big the card itself weighs thirteen hundred and forty two grams and while that isn't quite as heavy as the RS model we looked at last week it's about a hundred grams less it will certainly still give your PCI Express slot a real workout the PCB measures 267 millimeters long and the card structures are further 18 millimeters thanks to the oversized cooler the huge cooler takes up not two but rather three slots at 48 millimeters thick in comparison the foundry position cooler measures just 35 millimeters thick and 266 millimeters long and those are more typical dimensions fragile slot graphics card the PCB is also 20 millimeters tall than standard allowing the graphics card to stand 133 millimeters tall under the large fan shroud which I should point out has been constructed from plastic with anodized aluminium trimmings we find through truly massive heat sinks in total there's 120 millimeters by 185 millimeters at 30 millimeters thick worth of heatsink improving efficiency our five copper heat pipes two of which measure 10 millimeters wide and they're the fattest heat pipes I've ever seen feature on our graphics card the heat pipes are also connected to a large copper base plate pushing large volumes of air over this huge heatsink area a to big 100 millimeter fans these fans are extremely quiet even when the card is been placed under full load for an extended period of time the reworked PCB features a 12 phase power design for the GPU it's a doubled up is on but it does deliver more power than required for the gtx 980ti GPU then we have a true two phase vrm for the gddr5 x memory pellets also upgrade the power in by going with a dual eight pin design around the back we do find a full size backplate protecting the backside of the card though I have to admit it's a little 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 out of the box the card comes clocked at fifteen hundred and thirty one megahertz for the base with a boost clock of sixteen hundred and forty five megahertz the gddr5 X memory though has been left stock at 5500 megahertz for a throughput of 11 gigabits per second impressively the card have a boost clock speed of at least eighteen hundred and ninety eight megahertz which is slightly higher than the 1886 megahertz the Auris card ran out for the most part out of the box the cards had at nineteen hundred thirty six megahertz though which again is very impressive over clocks the pallet gtx 1082 I wasn't able to sustain a boost clock speed of two thousand and twelve megahertz so that's a seven percent overclock which isn't bad for a gtx 980ti anyway before we get to that I'm going to go about things a little differently for this review rather than just show you the same old boring benchmark graphs that show the pallet gtx 1080i delivering similar or the same performance as other 1080 TI cards we've looked at let's take a little bit some in-game performance and see what the card is really capable of at the 4k resolution once we've done that i'll throw up the usual temperature and power consumption graphs so you can check those out for testing this mighty graphics card we have used our corsair sponsered GPU test rig which features a core i7 7700 k clocked at 4.9 gigahertz with 32 gigabytes of ddr4 3000 memory in the crystal series 570 x mid tailored case for testing i have looked at how the super jet stream handled itself in six games at the 4k resolution i'll show each game for about a minute before moving on and then afterwards we will discuss the performance we have taken objective Edward we have taken objective apples a second yow 1919-1920 220 as you've just seen out of the box the pallet GTX 1082 our super jet stream is a very capable 4k Damer pushing over 60fps and the titles tested using the very high quality visual settings battlefield 1 for example was tested using the ultra quality preset and the game still hovered in the mid 70s over which was good for well over 100 FPS as we often saw around 160 fps using the ultra quality preset even Mass Effect Andromeda saw over 60fps for the most part as did prey in f1 2016 we saw somewhere around 70 to 90 FPS depending on the scene the most demanding title tested was Ghost Recon wildlands that could be argued that the some optimization issues there but anyway using the high quality preset the framerate did often dip into the 50s overclocking the super jet stream manually saw the boost clock set at 2012 megahertz and our protest and the fan speed maxed out at 58% so the card was still very quiet while maintaining over 2000 megahertz throughout our testing when it comes to power consumption the super jet stream didn't actually consume that much more power than the founders Edition model in fact total system consumption increased by just 6% overclocking boosted system consumption by another 12% but at 435 watts this was still a good bit less than the Auris model here we see that the super jet stream clearly has a temp target of 74 degrees this was the same maximum temperature scene even when overclocking obviously when overclocked the fan did spin up a little faster to deal with the other load but it was still far from loud in fact by manually sending the fan speed and increasing it a bit to just 2200 rpm though cards operating temperature was still very quiet while the temperatures dropped to just 64 degrees this was a good demonstration at least in my opinion of just how powerful the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is it really does make single GPU 4k gaming a reality the fact that we could max out beautiful looking titles such as battlefield 1 while playing at the 4k resolution and still achieving over 60 FPS is a testament to in videos flagship gaming GPU pellet super jet stream does a good job of extracting their maximum performance from the GTX 1080 Ti out of the box it's possible to extract a few more frames are custom overclocking but really it's almost not worth it palette really has done all the work for you this is a good thing as there Thrustmaster software is a bit clumsy and in my opinion looks very dated speaking of looks the super jet stream is at risk of being a little too bland in my opinion especially when compared to models from MSI Isuzu and gigabyte for example still it will blend into most systems well enough though we do hope the RGB lighting on future models will be a little less casual I put it tacky-looking the only other gripe I have with the card design is that chrome strip on the front of the graphics card well it does look very nice it scuffs very easily and once scuffed the effect is kind of lost looks aside though the cooler does work very well and it's very quiet even under load and it's great to see that palette hasn't skimped on those thermal pads those monstrous 10 millimeter copper heat pipes look very mighty as well it's a bit of a shame palette didn't do a better job of showing those bad boys off lastly there's the issue of the price which we can't actually address at this point as it's not currently on sale in the US or Australia at least not from the usual suspects so it's hard to draw any concrete conclusions without knowing the retail price if pallet can undercut the Gigabyte Oris model that i looked at last week then i think they have a real winner on their hands historically pallet have been very competitive on their pricing so I expect this model to come in pretty close to that $700 US MSRP overall the pallet GTX can atti super jetstream it delivers exceptional performance especially for those wanting a game at 4k hardly breaks a sweat there anyway that's going to do it for this one I hope you enjoyed the format change I thought it was nice to sort of show you the performance of what it can do it for K rather than just show a graph where hey it's pretty much the same as the Auris card we looked at last week one or two frames different it's not terribly exciting so something a bit different won't always review graphics cards this way but I thought for this one a bit of a format change was necessary so I hope you guys agree I'm your host Steve see you again soon
