GTX680 Palit vs KFA2 non reference

I've got the Palit card and it's exactly the same as every single other reference card out, Palit don't make the cards just stick a Palit sticker on it like all the rest.

I've had a KFA2 580 before and it died (just bad luck) but the returns procedure was quick and painless. :)

The replacement card i got from KFA2 was the anarchy edition and that was the quietest, best performing card i've ever had.

Your bang out of order knocking Palit like that. Just becauae thier brand name isn't as well kown as say msi, Gigabyte or evga your asuming that they must be using parts made by the lowest bidder in order to compete. As already already stated every gtx680 uses the same parts as every other oem because Nvidia doesn't allow non reference designs for some time on a new video card release.
 
Gainward are owned by Palit... my experience of both is that they are not good overclockers, although the new jetstream seems to buck that trend, unless the review sample was a golden one and the actual retail cards suck

often, early cards are good overclockers and then once they've established a reputation for good OC their QC gets more erratic and it's purely down to luck

I'm not sure wether to jump in on a jet stream or wait for some of the other 4GB cards to come out

all depends on if I can get a good price on my 580 of course

You're also bang out of orde for assuming that he means their reference designs are poor quality.

I agree that palit is only an average brand. Theyre more of a budget brand and te coolers they make arent great.

GAINWARD are to palit what British Airways is to Easyjet.
