GoKawiilPalit denies Galax factory closure amid RTX 5000 chip shortage claims
Palit, which owns the Galax GPU brand, issued a statement denying reports that it was shutting down the Galax factory due to insufficient RTX 5000-series chip supply from Nvidia. The company said Galax continues normal operations, no manufacturing facilities have closed, and products remain available domestically and internationally. The claim originated from a Spanish outlet citing industry sources.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The denial follows earlier rumors in April that Galax was shutting down entirely, which Palit also refuted, attributing the confusion to an internal restructuring that brought Galax under Palit's Taiwan headquarters. Persistent speculation about chip allocation suggests ongoing industry chatter about Nvidia potentially prioritizing GB202 chips for higher-margin RTX Pro Blackwell products over consumer GPUs, which could fuel further rumors about partner brands even when unfounded.
