Palit Microsystems is a Chinese firm, which has been manufacturing Nvidia based Graphic card for quite a few years. The whole focus of manufacturing had been earlier intended towards the OEM market. However with their acquisition of the respected Gainward name, which was famous for its cutting edge products Palit has shifted focus and now ships directly to the industry channels. This has seen their presence and consumer awareness about their products increase leading to a greater uptake on their products.

In keeping with its reference design, the card is clocked at a 560/700 core/memory speed, which makes it an absolute stock model with no difference from other products.
