Palit is a new to the US company that has been churning out enthusiast level graphics cards in Europe and Asia that are starting to turn heads here in the states, and for good reason. Palit puts great thought and engineering into each of their products and it shows. From the PCB up, Palit marches to the beat of its own drum, meaning no reference model designs here. This speaks well to the old adage of “listening to your customers.” So while you might spend a little more money than on a similar product from other vendors, it’s not the same design as other companies offerings with a “me too” game and bundle. Legit Review’s
first experience with Palit hardware was with their 9600 GT Sonic. The card featured a unique Orange cooling solution along with increased core and memory speeds. It also came with a who’s who of connectors, including dual Dual Link DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI, and even an optical SPDIF. Right there, the little extra money you spent may be the perfect investment for those that don’t upgrade their video card that often, but may be looking at a new monitor with one of these connectors. Most times you would have to locate and purchase a special edition of an existing card at an inflated price to get HDMI and/or DisplayPort.
