Palit, the owner of the Galax brand, has refuted rumors suggesting its Galax factory is shutting down due to a shortage of Nvidia's RTX 5000-series chips. A Spanish outlet reported earlier this year that industry sources had confirmed Palit was closing the Galax factory due to Nvidia's inability to supply enough RTX 5000 chips. However, Palit has stated that its Galax factory is continuing operations as usual, with no production facilities shut down.
The brand continues to sell its products in both domestic and international markets. The rumors arose from a Spanish news report citing industry sources, claiming that Palit was closing the Galax factory because Nvidia couldn't provide sufficient RTX 5000 chips. This would have been surprising, given that Galax recently launched the GeForce RTX 5080 HOF Extreme, the first RTX 5080 model with two 16-pin connectors.
The speculation may have been fueled by previous rumors about Nvidia prioritizing the GB202 chip for RTX Pro Blackwell-based models and the alleged discontinuation of the RTX 5090 flagship. In April, Galax was rumored to be shutting down entirely following a restructuring, but Palit confirmed it was undergoing a restructuring that brought Galax under Palit Group's control in Taiwan.
The company stated that it would continue to develop, produce, and support the Galax, KFA2, and HOF brands to strengthen its position in the discrete GPU market.
