  "account": "Galax, a subsidiary brand of Palit, has repeatedly refuted claims that it is closing down for the second time this year. An incorrect report suggested that the graphics card manufacturer was shutting its factory, but Palit and Galax have both denied these allegations. The company stated that its business operations are continuing as normal and that no manufacturing facilities have been closed. Galax products are still available through their sales channels both domestically and internationally. Although there have been rumors about Galax's closure before, most recently in April 2026, Palit has consistently maintained that the brand is still operating. In that instance, Palit confirmed that they were integrating management of Galax alongside KFA2 and HOF under their own headquarters. The brand's latest offering, the Galax RTX 5080 HOF Extreme with Swarovski crystal encrustation, is still on store shelves.",
