How good is Palit actually as a brand?

[flexy]

Anytime i look for the cheapest prices on cards, Palit is the cheapest.

How good of a brand is this actually? In the past i only had experience with Asus, BFG etc...

If they are using Nvidia's reference card you should be fine.

Personally i woludnt piss on them if they were on fire,they sent out 460 sonics out to reviewers once,with heatsinks on the vrms,customers did not get them.

I'm actually quite interested in the Palit Jetstream 4gb 680. Don't think it's available stateside yet. Really want to settle on a card by next week.

Erm,just how weird are you?im intrigued.

I think they're a pretty goos company. (They're big, they've been around a while, Gainward is one of their subsidiaries.)

You dont?

The last Palit I owned was a GF4 Ti4200. Great card, but performed worse than my EVGA equivalent.

Goodluck.

Going to see how the FTW 4gb and the gainward 4gb pan out. I'd probably be happy with any 4gb card I can get my hands on though.

Palit owns Gainward and has access to their technology and expertise. Their 450's and 460's were one of the shortest non-reference design pcb on the market (I owned 450). They are usually very good when it comes to noise levels as well. I highly recommend them. Fear not.

I've got one of the notorious Sonic 460's without the VRM heatsink, it does indeed get loud faster than any other card I've owned. I shouldn't have had to, but I added a cut down ramsink for better temps, noise levels seemed to have dropped.

Overall, good card, would buy again.

Palit is a value brand unlike Evga or Asus

 

[jacktesterson]

I used to own a Palit Sonic Platinum 460.

Card worked great for me, and was only 7.4 inches long. Only gripe was the single fan.

 

[DigDog]

yup, value brand, but then again, not horrible if you wanna save a buck; it all depends on how much the savings are, really.

flexy, you must be based in Europe? They no longer have a North American office, and as far as I know none of the major NA retailers carry their cards anymore.
