I've always wanted one of their cards, but I've never been able to find a vendor that sells them in/to the USA

OMG WOW, i'm surpised that a case didnt break in half with that card. Which card is that?

As I typed under the image, a passively cooled GTX 680.

I don't know how you are supposed to fit it in a case. If it was on the top slot it interfere with the CPU, so I guess you would put it in a lower slot? But that weight man...

China really has no stile or sense in any way:

I need it. I so need it. It makes no sense, and is impractical as fuck, but I NEED IT.

I can imagine that will suffer from 2 major problems. 1. SAG. and 2. I feel for the PCIE port which has to hold that monster in.

Don't think Asus, MSI, or Gigabyte will have too much trouble if any of those companies try expanding outside of China...

Palit are amazing though. Colourful, no idea. Do they own PowerColour / Club3D?

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Like the first card for being colorful. It would be perfect if it doesn't have that extended out heatsink. The dragon logo has a similar style to the one found on MSI, as well as the unicorn on the Galaxy Calibre.

A few questions:

 

1) How do these cards stay put without ripping out the PCI-e slot? From the images provided, they look REALLY HEAVY. The only case I can think of where it makes sense is if the entire Chinese PC market is based on horizontal cases. 

 

2) The first card (the rainbow-coloured unit) has the heatsink blob (useful for nothing) extended very far into where the 3.5 in. bays would be located. Who thought this would be a good idea? Not only does it take up useful space, but these random pipes (in general) will cause more airflow issues than it may resolve.

 

3) Notice for the second card (the yellow-gold unit), they left the SLI port open. With the extraneous pipes in the way, and the amount of PCI space they consume, what is the point?

Read the community standards; it's like a guide on how to not be a moron.

I'm honestly not surprised.

Palit is an Asian brand available throughout Asia even in Singapore. And honestly their Jetstream cards perform very well, especially when you take into account that their cards are almost of the same price as reference compared to vendors like MSI or Asus which charge a premium.

English is a very malleable language, it really does not has a standard to it and changes over time. We take other languages words as our own and modify them for us to use.

There are so many bloody heatpipes  :mellow:

 

I bet they make these specifically for nVidia cards.

(jkjk)

 

As long as they are cheap and they make a couple "minimal" looking cards I think they will sell, im not one for this ricer look.

That's a 12+2 Phase power delivery system, for those of you too lazy to count, and they use an absurd amount of Tantalum.
