According to [H], Palit is leaving North America.
The Palit GeForce GTX 260 SP216 Sonic is a trick card that gets Guru3D’s full approval.
Palit’s new GeForce 9800 GTX+ features a shorter card with its own special heatsink to keep it cool.
The Palit Radeon HD 4670 Super 512MB is super! Thanks for asking.
The Palit Revolution 700 Deluxe 4870 X2 comes with 2GB GDDRG and connectivity in the form of VGA, DVI, HDMI and even Display Port. It’s a beast.

The benefit of the Palit GeForce 9800 GT Super+ 1GB is seen in games with large scrolling worlds. That’s about it.
As much as modern graphics cards have progressed over the last year or two, the onboard GDDR of many of these new cards remains relatively constant. It seems that 512MB has been deemed the “sweet spot” for anything but extreme resolutions, and horsepower in the GPU has frequently been given priority during new product development. Nvidia’s recent G92 and G94 GPUs are a perfect example of this. The G80 was a radical departure from traditional GPU design with its unified shaders and other architectural enhancements.
Not only did Nvidia raise the bar with the G80, they coupled additional GDDR3 to match with the 640MB GTS and the 768MB GTX. Although they were very powerful when they first hit the streets, the revised G92 with a more efficient GPU was able to outperform them by a fairly large margin and used only 512MB of GDDR3. AMD/ATI has been a bit more conservative with their GDDR with most top models offering 512MB for the last few years. For the last two product generations, AMD has been quick to offer newer types of GDDR, like GDDR4 with the 3870 and GDDR5 with the new 4870, as opposed to greater capacities. (more…)
