It might be cool if palit could get the PALIT printed on the bottom of the card in UV

MKmods · Apr 27, 2008

where did you go Palit?

DaedalusHelios · Apr 27, 2008

They got fired.

Just kidding.... they are taking a much needed vacation.

I would have to say black myself too.

Cold Storm · Apr 27, 2008

I Don't know what to think about the Palit 8800gt Sonic 1gb... its yellow on the top and purple on the pcb.. I mean, I want another Purple PCB card, but I would need to buy an aftermarket fan just for it!

candle_86 · Apr 27, 2008

light brown for me, just like the PCB's of old, i love the color on old circuit boards of the early 80's

This has been the week from hell.

My computer has been in a sad state for some time but the final straw has been broken. I took out one of the cards and so was only running two monitors. For some reason, Skype will NOT come back on to a working monitor. I tjust goes flying off the side of the screen to the monitor that used to be there. Makes talking to China very difficult since I can only answer calls rather than making them.

While rebuilding my PC I dropped a screw driver on the mobo. It was beautiful. Deadly, but beautiful. The smell is just now no longer noticable. If you've ever fried a component you know the smell I'm talking about.

Work in an emergency trip to California to meet with Newegg and some other customers and this has just been a mess all around. The meeting was terrible- sort of. Sales are great which is always a good thing but I found out something about the video card industry I find very distressing.

MKmods · Apr 27, 2008

Sorry for all the troubles.

The good thing about a dead comp is building a new one :rockout:

Anything you can share about the state of video cards in the future?
(im developing a new case design and if Video Cards are gonna be obsolete I kind of would like to know)

Bad week indeed. Hope some good karma floats back your way man. :toast:

Distressing news about the video card industry? My imagination is going bonkers, wondering what that would be..

Palit_Guy · Apr 27, 2008

I'm not going to name any names which is not like me. If someone slaps me in the face I don't have any trouble slapping them back. But in the corporate world, that is frowned on.

While I was in California I found out that other card manufacturers are padding the reviews that consumers can enter. In most cases they are buying one of our cards, leaving a crappy review and then returning the card. This is happening at more than one e-tailer.

My first reaction was to fight fire with fire but after thinking about that for 5 minutes it becomes obviously stupid. Besides, that's not the kind of guy I want to be. Not only that but my boss said I wasn't allowed to do anything crappy like that.

Nonetheless, we have to do something. I just can't figure out what that something is.

The whole thing is just frustrating. Why would another company spend time trying to make us look bad? I am so busy trying to keep up with these and other forums, LAN parties, actually playing games, dealing with email and trying to find a few minutes to have an actual life outside of my computer I don't see where they find the time to do this.

GAHHHH!

erocker · Apr 27, 2008

Send it over to your "legal department".

This kind of practice doesn't sound very legal to me. No offence to you Palit_Guy, but as someone who has worked in marketing myself... Don't underestimate what some of these hacks will do. They are ruthless, spineless, cowards who don't know how to sell thier own product, so they need to bash thier competitors instead.

Marketing! the new evil force...

I have been whining for quite a while how reviews are to be taken with a grain of salt (as well as Judges of modding contests :rolleyes:

)

When there is $$ to gain people will find a way to Lie/mislead/cheat.

The best way to fight back is the "High Road", Pick trustworthy allies.

Cold Storm · Apr 27, 2008

I'll go and do whatever it takes man! I love palit cards and I can't wait to go sli with these babies! Everyone is trying to change me, but hell no! I'll be a palit person for a LONG time!

Palit_Guy · Apr 29, 2008

OK, I'm finally ready for this. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to have the forum itself choose a random number but I think I have it.

GJSNeptune- please post a three digit number between 1 and 999.

I also need three people to choose a number between 0 and 9. Just three, we don't need to turn this into the never ending thread of random numbers.

JrRacinFan · Apr 29, 2008

Kursah · Apr 29, 2008

I'll help...

:toast;

jbunch07 · Apr 29, 2008

7 there ya go

GJSNeptune · Apr 29, 2008

zatblast · Apr 29, 2008

never ending thread of numbers forty-two w00t um ok sorry...

Palit_Guy · Apr 29, 2008

739 / 267 = 2.76

Drop the decimal place and that makes post #276 the winner. That is just freakish because GJSNeptune made that post.

I give up.

www.random.org

I asked for one random number between 1 and 250 and it chose 124. That post is by MKmods who I've been talking to about working with us on some other stuff so I'm disqualifying him because I don't think that's fair.

This is ridiculous.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get a random number and make sure it's fair or should we just ask w1zzard to pick?

GJSNeptune · Apr 29, 2008

I think it's a sign that I'm a Palit post whore.

(But that's hilarious.)

I used this site with 1 random code. How about a new code? 477.

Ok, I'll buy that. Fawlty Towers happens to be one of my all time favorite comedies as well. Thanks for reminding me of that. Time to hit the newsgroups.

I'm 39 so that makes 270.

270 belongs to ShadowFold and his spot on post about using Poison Dart Frogs with $1,000 bills.
