Palit Group has officially denied reports that GALAX is preparing to exit the graphics card market due to limited NVIDIA GPU supply. The company confirmed that GALAX continues operating normally, with no manufacturing facilities closed and graphics cards remaining available through domestic and international distribution channels. The clarification follows renewed speculation about the future of GALAX, KFA2 and its enthusiast focused Hall of Fame (HOF) series.
The controversy began following an October 27 industry report claiming that Palit could no longer guarantee sufficient NVIDIA GPU chips to maintain GALAX production. According to the report, the alleged shortage had forced the closure of a manufacturing facility, with remaining resources potentially redirected toward Palit and Gainward graphics cards. The report also suggested that GALAX and KFA2 products could eventually disappear once existing inventories were exhausted.
However, GALAX directly rejected those allegations in an official statement published October 28, confirming that production, sales and customer support remain operational. The company also clarified that GALAX and Palit share manufacturing facilities as members of the same corporate group, rather than operating entirely separate production infrastructure.
The latest clarification follows a similar controversy earlier this year, when GALAX confirmed its continued operations under Palit Group. In May 2026, the companies explained that GALAX, KFA2 and HOF brand management would be centralized at Palit headquarters to improve operational efficiency, supply chain coordination and future product development. That restructuring did not represent the discontinuation of the brands.
Recent product announcements also support GALAX's continued market presence. On October 22, the company introduced its GeForce RTX 5080 HOF Extreme, featuring 16GB GDDR7 memory, a custom 20+4 phase power design, 4 fan cooling and a maximum 400W power target in OC Mode. GALAX confirmed plans to release the graphics card across international markets, although pricing and availability dates remain unannounced.
Nevertheless, concerns surrounding NVIDIA GPU availability are not entirely unfounded. The GeForce RTX 5090 continues facing significant supply constraints, with limited GB202 chip availability and increasing GDDR7 costs reportedly creating difficulties for graphics card manufacturers. NVIDIA has confirmed that the RTX 5090 remains in production, but has acknowledged manufacturing capacity limitations.
These conditions could increase pressure on board partners, particularly manufacturers operating with smaller production allocations or narrower product portfolios. However, broader GPU supply challenges do not establish that GALAX has suspended production or intends to withdraw from the market.
Palit's latest statement provides an important distinction between corporate restructuring and an actual business shutdown. Centralizing GALAX, KFA2 and HOF operations under shared management could improve manufacturing flexibility and purchasing efficiency, particularly when GPU and memory supplies are constrained.
The underlying industry concerns remain relevant. Rising component costs and limited graphics chip availability are making it increasingly difficult for board partners to maintain competitive pricing and predictable inventory. Smaller brands may face greater exposure to these fluctuations than manufacturers with larger production commitments.
However, GALAX's recent RTX 5080 HOF Extreme announcement and its explicit confirmation of continued operations provide stronger evidence of an active business than the unverified shutdown claims. Until additional evidence emerges, the company's official position remains that GALAX, KFA2 and HOF are continuing under Palit Group.
Do you think GALAX and KFA2 can remain competitive under Palit's centralized management, or could rising NVIDIA GPU and GDDR7 costs eventually force smaller graphics card brands out of the market?
