I don't know as I can't say if I like Galaxy because never had one of there product before but I wouldn't care I'm sure it will make fine product and I'm sure my sister law would love it after all it will go in her PC which has a carp onboard Intel GPU
Galaxy always provides some of the best prices for cards, yet they still have great coolers on them. I love not having to shell out a fortune but still don't sacrifice cooling performance.
I like Galaxy cards because they actually honored an RMA request without a hassle and in a timely manner. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one knowing that I'm not going to get screwed.
I have never owned a Galaxy card but in every review I have read here on Hard(everyone for the last 5-6 years, damn you Kyle ) they have always been highly rated. Would be a nice upgrade from my 5770.
A while back my gaming rig up and quit working. Turns out the vid card (MSI 8800) died on me. No big deal, guess it was time to upgrade. Didn't have a ton of $$$ to throw at the problem, so I ended up going with a GALAXY 9600. It was a solid card, got me back up and gaming, and I was happy.
Later, when I came into a few extra $$$, I thought I'd upgrade again...I purchased a Sapphire 5000 series - massive issues, never worked right for me, many hours and an overabundance of frustration later, I decided to put back in the GALAXY card.
A few months later, I tried another upgrade...this time vowing to stay with NVidia. I chose an EVGA 200 series card. Great...new games...higher resolution...good choice. Then it gave out on me....*sigh*.
I put back in the GALAXY 9600 and am still running it today. I haven't had the opportunity to game as much as I'd like to, but have thought about getting back into it.
Why do I like GALAXY cards?
Because it's the one video card I've owned that hasn't quit on me.
