Speaking here as a Brazilian who has followed Ronaldo since 2009, back when he was already known as one of the top performing overclockers from Brazil. I’ve also been a huge fan of Galax brand, especially the HOF line of products.

This whole situation involving and GALAX is honestly a huge mess, and I think Palit will be dealing with the consequences of this mistake for years to come. It was an enormous communication failure, and it also put Ronaldo in a very awkward position where he constantly has to explain things on Instagram and elsewhere.

I don’t know Palit as deeply as I know GALAX, and I never had the same admiration for the brand. Still, I know there are good people there, and I’m sure it’s a solid company. But now it’s clear they will need to keep making press releases and clarifications just to compensate for this specific situation.

Here in Brazil, the impact was huge. People looked for GALAX GPUs because they trusted Ronaldo for a very long time. He’s almost a celebrity in our local hardware scene, charismatic, respected, and one of the biggest references in the market. That connection mattered a lot.

Now people are confused. Some may even avoid GALAX products despite knowing they are good. Most people just read the headlines, keep the first impression, and never follow the later clarifications.

If I were building a new PC or upgrading today, I would still absolutely consider a GALAX product. But reputation damage from bad communication is real, especially in enthusiast communities.

Best of luck for Palit and Galax, I think you'll probably going to need it.

I've had few of their gpus in the past, although beautiful they didn't perform as advertised, most likely FE level of performance


Social media wise they had an idiot troll running their Japanese twitter, trolling people and mocking their bios


anyways good luck to them

I'm in the middle of an RMA procedure with Palit, and so far it has been extremely quick and professional, hoping that it stays that way. If they actually deliver that known 5-day RMA experience we see in the United States, they may as well have won me for life.

Palit or Galax? I owned a HOF GTX 980, as well as an EVGA Kingpin and ran them in SLI for a while. The HOF did not owe anything at all to the Kingpin, which was a more sophisticated model even comparing to the HOF but, flawless construction overall, beautiful white PCB and I was especially fond of the turbo button on the back which maxed out the fan speeds and reported near zero power consumption to the graphics driver, which made the card quite literally go brrr as the clock speeds peaked and stayed at their maximums as it bypassed the boost algorithm entirely.
