Re: PALIT plunders GALAXY Technology - one less partner to worry about?
I read that Palit had an overstock of GPUs & needed a way to shift them but that there nVidia contract didn't allow them to be resold > buy another AIB.
I had a Galaxy 6800GT & it was a nice card until it died but it was replaced by another Galaxy 6800GT with no problem by the vendor. |

My 8800GT is a Palit, nice cooler, not too loud, but a pain in the backside that i can't check the temperature of it.

Re: PALIT plunders GALAXY Technology - one less partner to worry about?
Got a Palit 9600gt coming tomorrow - never owned a Galaxy though.
Will let you know about the Palit. (I hadn't heard of Palit before the 9xxx-gen nVidia's, I must admit. If they're buying Galaxy, hopefully they're a bona fide company, after all...) |

Palit are a major brand in the Far East - they also own the Gainward brand.

I ordered my Palit 9600gt (from Scan), and I got an "Xpert Vision" 9600gt, which I'm not too happy about. I'm still debating whether to have a moan. (Scan's site NOW says Palit/Xpert Vison, but it DIDN'T, at time of purchase.) |

Probably, if I stop and think about it, I'm better off with dual DVI, for connectivity, but I still don't like the fact I'll need a HDMI-DVI (or vice versa) cable at some point in the system. Another cost (adapter not supplied), another chance for signal deterioration (in theory). Oh well. |
