Conclusion
...the Palit Super JetStream sits too close to other GPUs higher up the food chain, and with no factory overclock to speak of, the premium is tough to justify.The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is purpose-built to outperform the rival Radeon RX Vega 56 without encroaching on its well-established sibling, the GeForce GTX 1080.
It is a narrow gap to find, and Nvidia has done so by decreeing all partner cards must be launched with reference-matching speeds. That means you know what you're going to get from any GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, and if you're in the market for said GPU, we'd recommend a custom-cooled and competitively priced model from a reputable brand.
With said buying advice in mind, it is easy to pick up a heavyweight GTX 1070 Ti for around £420. Unfortunately, that puts enthusiast SKUs in something of a pickle. At over £470, the Palit Super JetStream sits too close to other GPUs higher up the food chain, and with no factory overclock to speak of, the premium is tough to justify.
Bottom line: the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is an excellent choice at under £450. Any higher brings better GPUs into play, putting the likes of the Palit Super JetStream in an uncomfortable spot.
