Is Palit a good brand ?

I'm getting palit 9600gt and msi hd4670 at same price at local hardware vendors.
Which is better card ?
My budget is limited.
I need a video card for playing game at low resolution 1024x768.

My config:
Intel Dual Core E2180@2.0GHz
Gigabyte G31 Motherboard
2 GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
450Watt non branded PSU

Thank you.....

I'm not sure where you live, but many sources are saying that Palit is leaving the US market for video cards.

Otherwise, I would go with the card with the best warranty and if possible one with a warranty location in your country.

I'm not sure which is better of those 2 particular cards as far as benchmarks.

IMO, go for the 4670 for less power draw

There are also some sites that say Palit is leaving the North America market. Not sure whether that's true or what that entails.

Ditto........i wouldn't tax a non-branded power supply any more than i had too.


Get the 4670.

I live in India.
Palit giving 3 years warranty.
Palit cards are cheaper than other brands.
Green(55nm) version of 9600gt have not launch here yet.
I want to know if palit cards are last longer than other brand or not.
I mean palit is reliable or not ?

go to http://www.newegg.com and http://www.newegg.ca and search for the cards and read the reviews there. You will be reading reviews on a popular websites that serve the US and Canada markets. You might find your actual model there, or may prefer one chipset more than the other after reading the reviews.
