Palit clarifies Galax closure claims were simply a ‘miscommunication’, and it is ‘already working on the next generations’ of graphics cards
Graphics card manufacturer Galax caused concern among PC gaming enthusiasts last week when a tweet from Ronaldo Buassali of TecLab, Galax’s Brazilian operations, appeared to suggest the company was being shut down. The unexpected announcement raised fears that yet another brand might disappear as gaming hardware becomes increasingly expensive.
Parent company Palit has since moved to quell the rumors, releasing a statement clarifying that the closure claims stemmed from a simple misunderstanding. According to Palit, “Due to an internal misunderstanding, some incorrect information was shared with him, and we want to set the record straight.”
The company reaffirmed its commitment to the graphics card market, stating it is “already working on the next generations” of GPUs. This announcement should reassure Galax customers and fans of the brand that the company will continue producing graphics cards rather than ceasing operations.
The exact nature of the miscommunication remains unclear, and how the incident might affect the relationship between Palit and its Galax subsidiary going forward is uncertain. Nonetheless, the clarification effectively puts to rest speculation about the brand’s future.
