Taking a look at the front of the packaging, we can see a clear and simple black box with the JetStream branding in the centre. The model name and memory size is also shown in the bottom right of the box and at the bottom are the main features of this card including 3-way SLI, 28nm technology and PCIe 3.0 support.
The front also has a panel which flaps open to give a first look of the card through a window and a lot more information on the card including the JetStream technology that Palit have incorporated onto it.
The rear of the packaging shows some information in many languages about the key features of the card as well as how the features improve your gaming experience by making things faster, smoother and richer and these label some of the biggest games of the year that Nvidia have partnered with.
Opening the packaging up further, we get a glimpse of what’s inside which includes a driver and utility CD, a quick install guide and a transfer/sticker with JetStream branding on it.
Also on the accessory side of things, we find a twin Molex to 6-pin PCI-Express adapter cable, HDMI to DVI adapter and DVI to VGA adapter.
It’s really impressive. I thought the narrower memory bus would strangle it but it’s not to be. Makes you wonder why people would spend the extra scratch on a GTX 670
because when you get a GTX 670 you can also overclock that. Most reviews tend to go for the “if you overclock this card (the GTX 660Ti in this case) you can catch up with the next one in the series” (the GTX 670) but then if you had the next one in the series (the GTX 670) you could overclock that too and reach the next one in the series (GTX 680)..and the cycle continues…
I know. It’s a vicious cycle. I was sceptical of my GTX 660Ti because of the narrow bus but I decided on it just via reading reviews. I’m glad I did & saved the extra money I would’ve spent on a GTX 670.
Ryan has a point with the overclock thing. I was waiting for the EVGA GTX 670 FTW but since then I got a EVGA GTX 660 Ti (standard edition) and I’m glad I saved my self half the cost, there isn’t a single game I can’t max out on everything. I only run 1920×1080, but check another one of these into SLI and you’ve got a system to be proud of.
For goodness’s sake, please change the COLOR of the graph, and highlight the scores for the card you are reviewing against its closest competitors. It was PAINFUL to read those graphs. Seriously.
Otherwise a decent review.
