Palit's GTX 1060 Super JetStream is a custom design variant of the GTX 1060 with a triple-slot thermal solution that promises low temperatures and low fan noise. Also, the card is highly overclocked out of the box for a performance advantage over the NVIDIA reference design.

It's nice to see Palit have stuck with a 6 pin connector. Many others have slapped on an 8 pin, for no apparent reason. As this card shows, there's plenty of overclocking room with the additional 75W.
At the same time, a triple slot cooler and that price are just wrong.

On another note, I'd much appreciate it if features like "HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4, DVI port included" were not listed as advantages of the card, because Palit had no saying there. There are (dis)advantages that come from the GPUs capabilities and those that come from the manufacturer. It would be nice if they were highlighted as such.

I was thinking about the same, but rather decided to keep-as-is. Imaging someone coming to the review via Google, who is not as experienced and just wonders if this could be a good upgrade for their 2-year old card. You experts here know about features added by GPU capabilities and should be able to filter them out, something newbies can't :)

I would have hoped for a dual slot one for the 1060 but nope, it's still triple slot heh.

thanks very much for the review!

can i please ask if it would be possible to test the solder OC tweaking ??
i would be very interested in: what happens with oc when i solder OCP or what happens with OV?
maybe you got some Silver conductive paint laying around
cannot find anything on the net testing this.

Good reasoning.

I like triple slot coolers, but it makes no sense in this card.
Thick coolers are supposed to be synonymous with performance, same with triple fans. But these are being used on lowish GPUs which dilutes the power/quality image and feel of the higher end cards.
When $200 pieces look exactly like $600 ones something is wrong. Either the vendors are treating buyers like childs or those buyers really are imbecilic.

W1zzard's reviews don't do warranty modding interventions. That would leave him open to all sorts of liability. You need to trawl into forums for that.

Well, I wasn't suggesting NOT mentioning (dis)advantages of the GPU at all, but rather listing them separately from those that come from the vendor. If a noob read this review and saw this card doesn't do analog output over DVI, they may spend hours trying to find a 1060 that does.

A bit disappointed with Palit's offering. So I guess... Bravo MSI :clap:
Would like to see a review of one of the EVGAs.

Much worse cooling (+7 ÂşC) yet more noise than MSI (+4 dBA). With a triple slot cooler (+~25% height). And more expansive. How can it fail so much.

Given a choice, why would anyone buy this?

EDIT: corrected height increase value.

It's not +50% height. Palit themselves advertises this as a "2.5 slot solution", because it doesn't fully occupy 3 slots. But it's not like you can use the half of the slot that stays empty. The cooler itself doesn't occupy 2 full slots though.
Btw, if it did, that would have been +100% height ;)

Ok, i didnt check this one before writing. But how is the difference between 2 to 3 slots a 100% increase?

Well, it's not a 3 slot cooler, 1 slot is still (thankfully) occupied by the card.

The cooler stats right above the GPU die.

A 1 slot cooler is only 33% less than a 1.5 slot cooler and considering the card takes 2.5 slots compared to the regular 2 slots, a 2 slot card is only 20% smaller. ;p

On a serious note. I have this cards smaller brother and it seems to perform the same. My temps hover around 70 C @ 85% fan speed where they just become audible, though I do have rather a lot of background noise as is.

Technically yes, that's where the heatpipes start. But if we're talking about added cooling performance, that's related to the fins and their surface.

I believe W1zzard mentioned that he has no contact with Gainward whatsoever. Dunno about Galax though .

Ok, we are extending this way too much. The fins start right above the plate, at the same point the heat pipes start.


But anyway, i didnt mean to be so precise. My numbers where not an in depth analysis of performance numbers, exchange area, fans size etc etc. Please take that statement as "PALIT is using more space to get worse results than MSI".

Ok, you win, I didn't pay enough attention to the design of the fins.
Much ado about nothing, I agree, but I'm glad we cleared things up, if they popped up.

This seems to be the classic marketing ploy of "make our card look bigger so people think it is more powerful". Honestly, I feel these cards could be cooled sufficiently with a single slot cooler, a dual slot is nice because it is quieter than a single slot, but a triple-slot 1060 is just stupid.

On another note, I'd much appreciate it if features like "HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4, DVI port included" were not listed as advantages of the card, because Palit had no saying there.

It was my understanding, and I could be wrong, that AIBs have the option to change the display configuration on aftermarket board designs. For example, many are including 2 HDMI ports for VR.

In this case, the Pro of such a card is the inclusion of a second HDMI port, not the presence of HDMI 2.0b.
