Introduction

Palit is not so well known on the western markets. Here is what they have to say about themselves:

"Palit Microsystems, Inc. as a perceptive supplier in the design, manufacture, and distribution of PC graphics accelerators, was established in 1988. With headquarters in Taipei, Taiwan, factories in Mainland China, and branch offices in Germany and Hong Kong, we’ve developed worldwide sales network and cooperated closely with our customers. Palit is well positioned to maintain an industry leadership due to the vast array of ATi and NVIDIA VGA products and on-going development efforts.
All our worldwide facilities are ISO 9001 certified. All our PC graphics accelerators are with WHQL certification to ensure full compatibility."

Even though this may not be the biggest brand name, you can be sure to get a good product with this card, since all cards are made by NVIDIA. The only contribution to the product by Palit is the sticker on the card and the bundling.
