Palit's RTX 4080 Super JetStream OC ships in a greenish and grey box, with a desaturated image of the graphics card visible underneath the large JetStream logo. On the back, key features of the card are highlighted in multi-lingual text.
Inside the box, the only included accessory is a dual 8-pin power adapter – meaning there are no quick start guides or other pieces documentation to be found.
Taking a look at the card itself, the design is visually identical to the 4070 Super JetStream OC we reviewed earlier this month. That means we get the same matte black plastic shroud, featuring some design elements which Palit describes as ‘geometric block patterns' to add some visual interest, but it's a very low-key design. Some may love this, some may find it a touch boring, but I quite like the understated aesthetic.
We also get a look at three Gale Hunter fans, each measuring approximately 95mm in diameter. These come fitted with ‘winglets' on each fan tail, something Palit claims can help concentrate airflow and avoid the ‘vortex effect'.
It's the same exact size as the 4070 Super model too, measuring 328.9 x 130.5 x 63.5 mm, while it weighed in a touch under 1.5kg on my scales.
The front side of the card is home to the GeForce RTX and Palit logos, though do note these are only printed in white text and do not illuminate once turned on.
As for the backplate, this is a full-length metal design, though there's some large cutouts towards the end of the card to allow air to pass directly through the heatsink. Palit is also using what it describes as an Anti-Gravity Plate as part of the internal construction of the card which should help prevent sagging.
Power is supplied by a single 12VHPWR/PCIe Gen5 power connector, though a dual 8-pin adapter is included in the box. Display outputs are standard, with 3x DisplayPort 1.4 and 1x HDMI 2.1 connectors.
