On the eve of the new NVIDIA GTX 900 series graphics cards, Galaxy has announced a global unification with it’s European brand KFA2. The merger brings along a new name… the company will now be called GALAX. Immediately after announcing the merger, GALAX announced the release of their initial NVIDIA GTX 900 series graphics cards. Here are the press releases explaining the merger and new graphics card offerings. First, the details of the merger.

BORN FROM NEARLY TWO DECADES OF DEDICATED DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING, NOW UNIFIED AS A ONE-WORLD BRAND.

Born from nearly two decades of dedication to the design and manufacturing of the world’s best performing gaming products, GALAXY and its European brand KFA2 today announced their global unification, officially merging to form GALAX.

Since 2000, GALAXY introduced numerous critically-acclaimed products including the world renowned “Hall of Fame” series with custom white PCBs and record breaking performance.

One of the most exciting benefits of the merger for GALAX customers will be an all new level of global brand consistency and product availability. With a single unified brand, GALAX is now able to offer every customer in every market the same world class service and support along with access to GALAX’s entire product portfolio. Our customers guide everything we do at GALAX, and it’s this commitment that defines us as a company.

GALAX GTX 980 SOC Video Card Review

October 28, 2014 Joe Shields Reviews, Video Cards 6

Today we get a chance to review another Maxwell based GPU. Thankfully, we have moved on from the teaser Maxwell in the GTX 750 Ti and on to the big boys in the GTX 970 and 980 (but likely not the biggest!). NVIDIA has made some significant changes to this architecture including, but not limited to, much lower power consumption and more efficient use of the available shaders, and also memory throughput (via compression). In my hands is a GALAX (formerly Galaxy) GTX 980 SOC, or Super Overclocked to be precise. This card takes NVIDIA’s reference design to another level with a more robust power delivery area and better cooler to name a couple of things. It’s time to take her out for a test drive and see if we can melt the rubber down to the rims!

Galaxy GTX 750 GC Graphics Card Review

February 28, 2014 Dino DeCesari Reviews, Video Cards 4

NVIDIA partners are beginning to roll out their new GTX 750 graphics cards and the new Maxwell architecture they offer. As we discovered during our launch day article, Maxwell GPUs bring a lot of new technologies along with the new architecture. Most notable is the high power efficiency they bring to the table, which allows them to be used in lower end systems that might not have been able to handle the power demands before. Today, we’ll be looking at one of Galaxy’s new Maxwell GPU offerings in the form of their GTX 750 GC 1 GB Dual Fan model. Galaxy has added several of their own unique enhancements from the reference design cards, such as an expanded PCB, proprietary dual-fan cooler, and a factory overclock. It all sounds good on paper… Let’s go find out!

Galaxy GTX 780 Ti HOF+ Video Card Review

April 29, 2014 Joe Shields Reviews, Video Cards 2

Today is a going to be a great day to be an OCF reader. We have a rare chance to review one of the top of the line products from our friends at Galaxy, the GTX 780 Ti HOF+ (Hall of Fame). Galaxy recently started coming out with these high end cards to compete with the likes of ‘the big three’ and their high end enthusiast offerings. They have been pretty successful in doing so with their previous GTX 780 HOF among others, which made some waves on the benchmarking scene. The reception for these robust, unique white PCB based cards was pretty warm looking at other review sites and the web, and now we get our anxious little paws on it to put it through our testing suite and see what stands after the dust settles.
