Overview
- Palit issued an official statement on Wednesday saying no GALAX manufacturing facilities have been shut down and that GALAX products remain available in domestic and international sales channels.
- Palit confirmed that GALAX and KFA2 were folded into Palit Group earlier in 2026 and that the brands share manufacturing facilities under centralized management.
- The closure rumor began with a Spanish report that claimed Palit could not secure enough NVIDIA RTX 5000-series chips for GALAX, a claim Palit described as inaccurate.
- GALAX launched the RTX 5080 HOF Extreme on October 22, a recent product release that observers say is inconsistent with an imminent shutdown.
- Industry-wide shortages of GPU kits, DRAM and NAND driven by growing AI hardware demand are tightening supply and raising prices, a dynamic that increases the risk of production shortfalls for smaller add-in-board partners even as Palit says its major brands will continue.
