Anyone ever heard of Palit before?

I've heard a little about them before on different forums and they appear make a decent product and primarily deal with the european market. Did some more digging though and came up with the following. It turns out that Palit manufactures under a lot of different brand names including Gainward believe it or not. See xbitlabs comments below and associated link.....

Palit, Yuan, Daytona, XpertVision, Gainward? I?m not sure if this list is complete. What does it mean? I guess experienced users who are interested in PC hardware should know that Palit Corporation is today a major graphics card manufacturer and owns all those trademarks. There?s no unanimous opinion about one company having so many brands. On one hand, the user is offered a larger choice, especially since Palit has always offered an appealing price/performance ratio (note that I don?t mention quality here). On the other hand, a carefree user may be enticed into buying a cut-down version of some full-featured model. Such a version may have slower memory, a narrower bus, a simplified PCB, fewer graphics pipelines, etc.
 
1gig of DDR3 and at what 1.8 MHz? it could be the slowest DDR3 they could find. If your gonna put ram on it put some damn fast DDR4 on there!!


edit: oops, I didnt realise the 8000 series does not support DDR4
 
Would the extra memory help with graphic design? Software like Maya, 3DS Max, Photoshop, Video editing, etc..? Or would it not make that big of a difference over the 512mb versions?
 
I have my doubts with 1GB of RAM but 256-bit memory bandwidth...sorta like how 512MB DDR2 VRAM is generally useless on the 8600GT and its 128-bit bandwidth.

It'll be interesting to see some benchmarks, especially at higher resolutions.
 
I'd like to see benches as well. My thoughts on this is that the 1GB of memory might put it on par with a gtx at high resolutions in some cases, but neither card is fast enough to run Crysis at that resolution with AA, so... in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter much.
