Palit Backplate Love it or Hate it ?

I don’t think any of them could be considered good looking. They all look so cheap and tacky compared to the FE. It’s a shame.

Of course they look cheap compared to the FE. The cards have to be significantly cheaper than the FE to produce so that the AIBs can have some profit margin. Honestly I think the way of the partner cards are going to die anyway, it just doesn't make sense. Nvidia is already strongly hinting at it.

I mean... Consumer GPUs are going to die entirely as things move to cloud gaming over the next decade but that's a discussion for a different thread.
 
I got offered one of these palit cards when they shipped me a 3090 out by mistake.

I refused and stuck with my inno3d 3080.

I phoned them on Monday and they insured me the Inno3d cards would be in within the next 2 weeks and that I'm at front of the que.

I phone again Friday because I received an email saying I'm que position 83! Once again they tell me I'm que position No.1 but they also said now they have no ETA on the Inno3d cards.

So frustrating with this new lockdown, I'm thinking of calling them tomorrow and asking for an msi or zotac card as replacment/compensation (or what ever card is available now) for the mess about.

What's my chances?
 
Personally i think the Palit Gaming Pro looks great - I'd totally buy one if they had it in stock.

I dont know what everybodies obsession with black is, its pretty boring, and lots of those other backplates dont have much if anything in the way of cooling holes.
