You are probably aware of the philosophical thought experiment that asks, 'If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?', and we are not here to provide an answer. However, we can say that spinning fans make noise. In search of silence, Palit opted to do away with them on its GeForce GTX 1650 KalmX graphics card. The KalmX model ditches the traditional heatsink + fan + shroud assembly and goes the passive route with just the heatsink. Combined with the "advanced powerful Pascal architecture," the GeForce GTX 1650 KalmX offers up a silent gaming experience. That's wrong of course—the GeForce GTX 1650 is not a Pascal part, as Palit incorrectly states...

At this point, there’s no question that NVIDIA is releasing a new entry-level variant of its GeForce GTX Turing family of desktop graphics cards. Earlier this year, NVIDIA released the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, and then soon followed up with the GeForce GTX 1660. The final piece to the puzzle, the GeForce GTX 1650, will be released before the end of the month. Luckily for us, we’re already getting an early glimpse at what production desktop cards will look like courtesy of a leak from Zotac. In this case, we’re seeing the Zotac Gaming GeForce GTX 1650, which comes with a total of 4GB of GDDR5 memory onboard. We see an incredibly short PCB with a single fan along with HDMI,...

There has been an abundance of leaks pertaining to NVIDIA's as-yet unannounced GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and GeForce GTX 1660 graphics cards, and though the new GTX parts are not yet official, all of the evidence suggests they do in fact exist. If you need further convincing of this, the weekend provided it, in the form of more leaked retail box images and press renders. We'll start with the Galax card, because it is the most interesting one of the bunch. Reddit user Rukey_Lob posted several images of the Galaxy GeForce GTX 1660 Ti packaging, including shots of the front, side, and the text on the back. While this sort of thing is not immune to Photoshopping, it is a bit more difficult than spoofing...

NVIDIA's add-in board (AIB) partners are starting to update their product catalogs with updated GeForce GTX 1060 graphics cards sporting faster GDDR5X memory. Palit is the latest to jump on the bandwagon with its GeForce GTX 1060 GamingPro OC+ (NEB1060U15J9-1045D), and unlike the Gigabyte card we spotted yesterday, Palit lists the memory speed and bandwidth. If this is the first you are hearing of GDDR5X memory on a GeForce GTX 1060, don't fret, you haven't been living under a rock. The faster memory was only recently added as an option on the mid-range card, and it arrived without any fanfare from NVIDIA—the GPU maker quietly updated its GeForce GTX 1060 product page to reflect "6GB GDDR5/X"...

The Duke is back! No, we're not talking about screen legend John Wayne, but an upcoming line of GeForce graphics cards. Unfortunately for NVIDIA, MSI's penchant for leaking ahead of an official launch has struck again. This time, the company's GeForce RTX Duke series has landed in both RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti flavors. Like the MSI Gaming X Trio cards that leaked earlier this morning, the GeForce RTX 2080 Duke has 8GB of GDDR6 memory while the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Duke has 11GB of GDDR6 memory. As with the previous generation, the GeForce RTX Duke series employs a triple-fan cooling setup, and there is an LED light bar located in the top center of the card for those that just...

We're not the least bit afraid to overclock our hardware on our own, and heck, sometimes that's half the fun. But if a vendor wants to take on that same responsibility, then more power to them. That's the decision Palit made with its new, long-winded "GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Light Turbo Limited Edition" graphics card (that's a 20-syllable card, in case you're wondering). Palit didn't go crazy overclocking the 560 Ti, but did bump the engine clock from 822MHz to 835MHz, and the 1GB of GDDR5 memory from 4008MHz to 4100MHz. That's enough to push the memory bandwidth from 128GB/s to 131.2GB/s. The other distinguishing feature here is the Twin Light Turbo dual-fan cooler. It's a stout heatsink with...

Palit came across the wire this morning with a pretty spiffy looking new Radeon HD 4870 X2 card and apparently they threw everything in there but the kitchen sink. Well, maybe the sink is in the bundle? Regardless, this card looks well endowed with a factory overclock of 750MHz at its core and a 3800MHz DDR5 memory speed. More details and a whole lot of PR hype can be found in the release here... World’s Most Powerful Graphics Card – Palit Revolution 700 Deluxe Today, Palit Multimedia demonstrates its leadership in the graphics market by introducing the world’s most powerful graphics card: Revolution 700 Deluxe! This is the first custom designed HD 4870 X2 to be introduced...

NVIDIA's current list of graphics products reads like a mathematician's crib sheet; there are no fewer than 10 active SKUs in their GTX 200- and 9000-series of graphics cards. It's generally understood that higher model numbers typically mean better peformance, but the subtleties behind the GSO / GT / GTX / GX2 monikers are enough to confuse even the most stalwart tech gurus. NVIDIA admits to creating some buyer confusion, and plans on making things easier from here on out with the model type coming first (GTX meaning high-end) and the part number corresponding to the performance level second, with higher numbers obviously equalling better performance (ie, a GTX 280 is faster than a GTX 260).Adding...

Palit has produced their on version of Nvidia's 7900GT, featuring a two slot cooler and 512MB of Ram. Having 512MB of onboard memory gives the card an extra kick in certain situations, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be an all around winner in the benchmark tests. "A dual-slot NVIDIA graphics card with 512MB of DDR3 memory and an overclocked core that's running at 550MHz. Is this really a GeForce 7900 GT? Well, it still is, albeit Palit's special Sonic version of a GeForce 7900 GT. Read on as we find out if it's as fast as its name." ...

Worthy of Hardware Zone's "Most Value For Money Award", the Palit 7800GT Blitz comes overclocked straight out of the box. Is higher clock speeds and faster memory enough to make it stand up to the 7800GTX though? "The GeForce 7800 GT is a rather mature graphics chipset that has been steadily declining in price so it was about time that someone made improvements to its basic design. Palit has risen to the challenge and fortunately, the customizations that has been done to the Palit 7800GT Blitz fell into the commendable category and not the gimmicky."...
