The Palit GTX780 Jetstream 6GB arrives in a rather bland looking box with no images of the actual product. The main focus is clearly on the 6GB of GDDR5 memory.

The main box opens up in a Gatefold presentation with much of the focus placed on the custom cooling system.

Inside the box is a power converter cable and two video converters. Palit include literature on the product, alongside a software disc.

The Palit GTX780 Jetstream 6GB is a large, heavy card built around a black PCB. There are three fans set in the cooler shroud. The outer two fans are 80mm, with the center fan slightly larger at 90mm. Each adjacent fan rotates in a different direction to reduce airflow conflicts. The fans use ‘TurboFan Blades' which are inspired by Jet engines. These are sculpted to improve air flow and subsequently cooling performance.

The I/O plate has dual DVI connectors alongside a full sized DisplayPort and HDMI connector.

These cards are SLi capable, with dual connectors, as shown above.

The Palit GTX780 JetStream 6GB takes power from a single 6 pin and 8 pin connector.

The cooler is built around a copper base with multiple thick heatpipes. The card adopts an 8 Phase PWM to stabilize the voltage level and improve overclocking ability. Palit say it delivers 30% more current capacity. DrMOS offers high current circuits and low noise operation.
