Was thinking of getting one and wondering how good there are.
Is PalitGuy still around?
So kudos PALIT/GAINWARD...
Which brand is better?
I have also had really good expereinces with MSI and Inno3D cards as far as overclocking goes but taking the whole package into consideration my money would go with either Gainward or palit, of course, in the UK.....Palit is much harder to come by.
Now, with the joking a side... In the UK Gainward/Palit would be our XFX/EVGA on cards. In which they are building the same thing, but have the different packaging to make it their own... But, that is my thought on it. I'd still go Palit with my next ATI card... I've all ways wanted a Palit ATI card. I loved my Nvidia one from them... Just went EVGA on the Gx2 because of knowning of the GTX coming out so soon..
Would like to see a comparison between the 1GB and the 512mb version.
I saw a review somewhere which pointed out the 1GB vesions aren't much of a boots over the 512mb version in most cases.
That makes me want to ask Palit Guy, why the hell Gainward is selling "B" stock Nvidia cards as brand new, lying to the reseller and the end user alike.
