Zotac is a good brand their hardware is generally equivalent to other brands. Not only that but they offer a 5 year warranty if you register your hardware within the first 28 days of ownership.

Zotac is quiet well, I think you mean 980ti, the 980 doesn't make much sense now

zotac for some cards was the best of the best. I think the 980 AMP is fine.

For $480, it makes enough sense. Marginally more expensive than the R9 390X for somewhat better performance, better overclocking and lower temps. $70 would bridge the gap between it and the Fury, but that's $70.

Zotac = PcPartner = Sapphire

 

The AMP! cards weren't the best from what I heard, though. Dunno if they fixed the voltage lock-woes and if the coolers are improved.

I can vouch that Sapphire makes GREAT amd cards so if they are at the same level expect Zotac cards to be great too.

I have a Vapor-X R9 290 myself, and it does the job fairly well. At least it doesn't throw me black screens like the other R9 290 did, nice RMA-upgrade.

 

However, the Zotac Maxwell cards had voltages locked below reference levels even on the "extreme OC" -cards and some of the cooling on the cheaper cards (like AMP Omega which were basically being sold at below reference prices) had fairly unimpressive cooling from what I had heard. Still usable, but... unimpressive. Better double-check whatever the model you're buying is.
