GALAX will continue making GPUs under its new leadership at Palit as it addresses the recent confusion caused by miscommunication.
GALAX Is Alive & Kicking Under Palit, Working on Current & Next-Generation GPUs
A few days ago, we exclusively broke the news that Palit had taken full control of GALAX, handling their entire business and RMA support. The initial messaging between different GALAX teams suggested that the GPU vendor was ending its PC business and would be dissolved under GALAX; however, that's not true.
As per new statements, Palit has confirmed that GALAX is not leaving the graphics card market and will continue to develop new products under its GALAX, KFA2, and HOF brands, which are now integrated directly under Palit.
GALAX & Palit also state that they are fully prepared for the current generation of GPUs and are already working on the next generation to come. Under Palit, GALAX expects all of its sub-brands to be stronger than ever.
The companies also highlight the recent miscommunication with Ronaldo, who is the lead of GALAX Brazil and also operates the fan-favorite tech channel, TecLab, who have showcased some impressive mods and overclocking capabilities across various GALAX GPUs. It is stated that Ronaldo was given incorrect info at the time these changes were being made at GALAX. The incorrect information shared with him pointed out that GALAX would be ceasing its business and the brand would be no more.
But that was far from the truth, and Ronaldo himself has shared a message that follows the statements by GALAX and Palit:

Following is the translation of what Ronaldo says in the video:
Hey everyone, good afternoon. I'm here to make an important clarification for you. Recently, there was a big controversy, a big fake news story, saying that Galax had ended, that Galax had closed down, that Galax no longer existed in Brazil. And I received several messages, several people asking me about it, and I said: 'Calm down, I'll bring you the official document so you can see it.'"
Look here… (shows the documents) Here's the official company document, stamped, everything's in order. I'll read it to you: 'First of all, we would like to clarify a misunderstanding involving the leader of Galax Brazil, Ronaldo, from TecLab. Due to an internal misunderstanding, some incorrect information was shared with him, and we want to clarify the situation.
We have a long and successful history of working with Ronaldo, whose leadership has kept GALAX at the top for years. Thanks to his work and the incredible TecLab team, GALAX and Palit will continue to provide the best products and the highest level of support for gamers and enthusiasts around the world. We will continue and maintain the high standards that Ronaldo and TecLab offer to Brazil, because we care deeply about the quality and performance of our products and about providing the highest level of customer service. GALAX is not abandoning the video card market, but rather working to develop the best products ever. Currently, we are integrating management.' Regarding our brands (GALAX, etc.).'
So guys, here it is, official. Galax continues, TecLab continues strong, the partnership continues. I want to thank everyone who trusted us, who continued to believe. And for those who doubted… well, you saw. That's it. Hugs to everyone, we're in this together!
Ronaldo also clarified his position on the matter and addressed fake news published by Toms Hardware, in which the news outlet wrongly said that Ronaldo deleted his posts. He states that he had never deleted anything and went on to thank other channels that published his case with respect and truth.
GALAX was founded in 1994 in Hong Kong, China, as a computer hardware manufacturer. The company went on to become a global name, with its sister brand KFA2 serving the EU markets and GALAX serving several regions, including Asia-Pacific, South America, and North America.
Over the years, we have seen, tested, and written about several GALAX graphics cards, a component in which they specialized. The company's HOF series is well-regarded as one of the best designs for overclocking and enthusiasts. Since Wccftech started, we have tested countless GALAX graphics cards, and our last review for GALAX was the GeForce RTX 5080 HOF, once again showcasing a stunning PCB and cooler design.
