Why do people avoid palit cards?

Ive had a Palit 1070 super jetstream for years and its been perfect, the heatsink is massive and its never gone above 60c boosting to 2050. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

They're one of the cheapest brands.
Not when you can buy the invisible for about £60 quid less.

Only ever had one card fail. It was a Palit 1080 and it was the most I'd paid for a card ever. Got it via another etailer and failed near the end of the warranty period. Had about a 2 month argument to get a full refund but prices had gone up significantly so had to fork out even more to get another 1080.
Next big card purchase I'll seriously consider Zotac for longer warranty.
Had a quick Google about extended warranty on EVGA cards someone mentioned. Will also consider that. Do any other manufacturers do a similar scheme?

I've had 2 palit 1060 6gb Jetstreams pass through here recently, and both of them were excellent performers and really quiet.

I've been very pleased with my Palit 1080 Jet Stream since buying new, although only a few months left on the warranty now so hopefully it keeps on going.

I had both a pallit and a gainward card fail and both were a complete nightmare over the warranty process, so now I avoid that company in general.

When I bought my Palit 1080 I didn't really give much weight to the warranty, prioritising specification, looks and price above it. I've been considering an RTX 2080ti and after the issues these cards have had along with the price they are now at I think getting a long UK based warranty would be my primary concern when making a purchase.

The only Palit card I’ve ever bought was a used 760 for a friends PC. Aside from being a blower design card, the build quality is actually pretty good. They’re a company I have avoided based purely on warranty. What makes things even more difficult is you have Zotac entry level cards with up to a 5 year warranty for much the same £.
The one exception I’d make would be a 2 year warranty over a 3 year MSI on a card like this:

(Has the build quality of an early 90’s Grundig VCR)

I once had a Palit GTX 580 pre-overclocked card back when Dragon Age 2 came out. Rubbish game which kept crashing so I assumed it was the game. Then I had the Heaven benchmark crash when on max settings with AA so tried downclocking the GPU to stock and all problems went away. Replaced it with an ASUS 580 a few months later. Never been a fan since but I guess their build quality and testing has probably nothing to do with how they were 10 years ago.
[Checked my OCUK order history. Fun trip down memory lane. £380 for the top end card so I bought 2 for SLI

When someone mentioned Palit, the first thing that pops in my mind is still always their GTX460 768MB card cutting corner with no heatsink on the vrm and kill itself overtime
May be that image got stuck
Asus did that with some of their cards (like their Vega ones). But then Asus is a different story, the most expensive but **** :/

Yeah the 1gb was an instant classic overclocker probably one of the best GPU's there has ever been it OC'd like mad yet the smaller mem version (as already mentioned) was a dog.
