I read somewhere that the Palit card uses a non- reference board design that is really good...can be volt modded and that it OCs really well...It is great value for money....

I read the Digit (October issue) video card review and decided on the Zebronics 7600GT as it seemed to be a decent performer much better than Palit 7600GTwell its much more value for money.Lastly both XFX and Zebronics offer 3yrs warranty so dosent really matter.:huh:

Well Zebronics 7600GT's are same as Palit as I'd mentioned earlier. The Palit retails around 8.5k+ while you'll get the Zebronics for 9.5k+, hows the zebronics more vfm ?

DO NOT EVER BUY A ZEBRONICS GRAPHICS CARD - THE QUALITY SUCKS AND FAILURE RATE IS HIGH... intentionally typed in CAPS and made bold :D

heh....noted bro...noted...

btw they were using palit as an OEM, but probably lower binned parts...I'd suggest a forsa which I found to be pretty good, certainly a unique heatsink. I'd say upto 9K is a decent price, anything more and you're a sucker :P

btw the zebronics seems to have a 10 MHz core overclock at stock....
and they use a different HSF solution than the Palit..

You mean forsa right?? I've posted pics of zebronics & palit cards...both use the same cooler...dunno about the lower binned parts though.

The forsa cooler seems nice but the card requires extra power through the psu

hi,
I got a Palit 7600GT a week back. Its awesome, infact if you go for the performance ratings, its somewhat better than leadtek and xfx.[source:techtree, article: 7600GT round up].

It only sucks in terms of the bundle it comes with. The packaging is not very attractive, but the card really is :-) Game performance is awesome. I got very similar benchmark results to what I found on the net.( I amost spent 4 months studying about graphics cards before finally buying one...) The temperature is steady at 49-50 C. No external power connector required. Installation is a kids job.

This is the cheapest, and the best 7600GT you can get @ Rs.9000/-

May be you can go for games of your choice with the left money.

I would recommend it over leadtek and xfx, go for the card, not the bundle or packaging. The card is what lets you play, right ;-)

cheers!

I have personally bought Palit 7600 GT's for Rs 8500... One more reasoe to be a regular member of TE :D... Cause it was a TE exclusive deal...
 
Do I need to remind people that Palit is managed and operated by the same outfit that manages Gainward?

Palit used to be not so good quality wise in the past, 2D quality, display quality in general used to suck. At that time Palit would sell cards under various noname brands and one "Daytona" brand. The colors would be bad, analog display would absolutely suck.

After that Palit was acquired by a new owner and following this their quality got much better. The Daytona brand was dropped. Soon, the new owner of Palit also acquired Gainward, and is now creating internal competition between the two brands. In fact, Gainward cards are manufactured by Palit. Read here:

Palit Super GeForce 6800 GS 512MB PCI-E Palit Sonic GeForce 7600 GT 256MB PCI-E Palit Golden RADEON X1600 PRO 256MB PCI-E

So our readers can see THE SAME CARDS, I previously reviewed from Gainward, with stickers from Palit. Besides, Gainward possesses no manufacturing facilities of its own. All the cards for this company are manufactured on Palit plants (this decision was made by owners of both companies). But it must be noted that components and assemblage of Gainward cards are controlled by Gainward. So I rest assured that the famous quality of Gainward cards will not be damaged.

But you may have already guessed that the same cards are used by Palit (why have two production lines, when part of the products can be rerouted to Palit needs). That's bad for Gainward - their brand will be lost as well as their unique nature. But it's good for Palit: the quality of its cards gets much higher and the company can boast of new designs (the fact that it's a Gainward design is withheld). Besides, Palit can sell its cards cheaper than Gainward (R&D must be covered and maintaining a company in Germany is much more expensive than in Taiwan - Gainward HQ are in Munich, Palit HQ - in Asia).

So basically Palit cards are based on the same design as Gainward with some differences (for example, using electrolytic caps instead of polymer ones to reduce cost). Also the package bundle is not as good as Gainward, so you can call Palit as the "poor man's Gainward card". :)

As regarding Zebronics, they're using Palit technology with lower specification components, so you can bet the quality and lifetime of the graphics card is going to be poor compared to others.
 
BTW it seems XpertVision is just a rebranded Palit with very small changes if any at all, so don't worry and if you get a direct import containing these XpertVision cards then it should be no problem.
