What the fuck is this GPU? (pic related)
https://jet.com/product/PNY-GeForce-GTX-1060-Graphics-card-GF-GTX-1060-3-GB-GDDR5-PCIe-30-x16-DVI-HDMI-3/76f66bd689c24580b37e32e6e3e461e1


So I see it has a deal and I can get it for 175$ (including tax) sounds pretty good to me.
Then I look at the GPU and look it up on newegg. It doesn't exist.
I screenshot the GPU and look it up to find it here http://www.palit.com/palit/vgapro.php?id=2674&lang=en
Anyone ever heard of Palit before?
The fuck is it?
It sounds shady as fuck that on the jet page they are calling it PNY. The only difference is the fan stickers.


Also is JET shady when it comes to GPUs? Like they don't have what models they are half the time and shit.
>>
it's fine, palit isn't the best but it's just a matter of stickers on the fan (would highly suggest a 6gb 1060 though)
>>
>>57685356
It isn't shady that they lie about the brand?

PNY, Palit and Gainward are sister companies with the same owner, and share card designs. Go have a look at all their cards.
>>
>>57685683
Ah okay. Thanks for the heads up.
>>
Palit is not the best, down there w diamond and zotac etc
>>
>>57685739
>this guy
zotac is top tier brand
watch your fucking mouth
>>
PNY build quadros for Nvidia.

Only their top end AMP! cards are worth anything. Hell the 970 AMP! omega or whatever it was called was as fast as a stock 980.
>>
>>57685307
They mainly sell in Europe and Asia. They pulled out of the US market in 2009.

PNY have nothing to do with Palit/Gainward. Palit is a chink company, PNY is based in the US. They're using the same cooler because they simply license coolers from other companies. If you look at their non-reference cards through the ages, you'll find the cooler was always used on another card from a different brand.

They specialise in Quadros and gaymen cards are a secondary concern, which probably explains why they don't bother designing their own coolers.
>>
>>57686419
They have the same cooler and PCB.
Basically, PNY rebrands Gainward/Palit cards.
>>
>>57686636
They license from various companies. Their 1080 isn't a Palit design, it's a PCPartner (Zotac/Inno3D) one, using a cooler from one of their chink brands (Manli) with a reference PCB.
>>
>>57686836
Are three fan cards worth having?
>>
>>57687574
They're good for cards that use a ton of power like the 980 Ti or Fury. Pretty useless on lower end cards of of the past or the latest ones that don't use much power though, since they tend to be a bit louder due to the extra fan and smaller fan size, and dual fan coolers can handle the modest TDPs of Polaris and Pascal just fine.
>>
>>57685356
Palit Gamerock Premium + G-Panel tend to disagree with you!
>>
I bought PNY becasue it was cheap and available. It's been working out well so far. No real complaints. Temps never go over 70.
>>
does anyone know which promo codes are still working on Jet?
>>
>>57685307
>They've never heard of PNY or Palit before

Welcome newfriend.
>>
>>57685307
just don't buy a 3gb 1060. get the 6gb one.
