GALAX is a much older brand than it looks, dating back to 2003, when it did business as "Galaxy," selling custom-design GeForce 400 series graphics cards with its signature shade of deep blue for the PCB, and Zalman-sourced coolers. The company is celebrating its 20th anniversary, at least in its largest market of China, where it launched a special edition GeForce RTX 4070 Ada graphics card, called simply the 20th Anniversary Edition.

The card features an all-white look, and an interesting cooler airflow design. The card is no more than 2 slots thick, and features a slender aluminium fin-stack heatsink. Two of its three fans are located on the obverse side of the card. There is an intake where you'd expect the third fan to be, which is actually on the reverse side of the card, blowing outward (pulling air through the heatsink, much like NVIDIA's dual-axial flow-through cooler in some of its Founders Edition cards. The card uses a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, which has been tucked away behind a magnetic cover. The card offers factory overclocked speeds of 2610 MHz maximum boost, compared to 2475 MHz reference (+5.5%). The company didn't reveal pricing.

“2003, when it did business as "Galaxy," selling custom-design GeForce 400 series graphics “
Probably meant GeForce4 series, unless we have shifted timescales and suddenly Fermi was a decade earlier?

While congratulations are in order, while China only? This is a beautiful card. Everyone deserves a chance to get it. Bad form there folks, bad form.

OG Galax Company still controls Galax China and has its own product design and manufacturing.

While Palit controls the Galax Global, excluding China, in most cases, they use the Galax Brand to sell Palit's model.

So even though they have the same name, Galax, the products are different.

I really like Galax, they are not readily available to me. I had a Galaxy GTX 470, good ol Fermi power. Clocked like a champ, sold it when I got a 580.. I still regret it.

That is a sweet looking card.

Interesting. I did not know that.
