Go for it. Nothing wrong with them. They come from the same parent company as Sapphire.

 

EDIT: But I recommend looking for non-reference card though. It's probably run a little warm and won't be able to benefit from GPU Boost 2.0.

Zotac custom cards tend to perform really well, but I have heard that they can be very noisy under load. They have probably fixed this by now. Also, Zotac overclock much more than other companies from the factory, so If you aren't comfortable overclocking your graphics card they are probably the best cards to go for.

Oh, no worries. You're good to go. Zotac's a good brand :)

You'll definitely be fine with the single card.

Haha, thanks. I find it adorable as well.

Even if Zotac is a little known brand in the US, Zotac is one of the top preforming and coolest running maybe even the most quiet card makers out there. Its also a great pair with your 3470 and psu.

I just grabbed a Zotac GTX 670 to stick in one of my PCs, I've had a GTX 580 from Zotac which ran for a couple of years and had no issues, a friend of mine has a GTX 460 from Zotac that has been running literally since it was produced in his gaming rig and nothing has gone wrong with it.

 

Speaking of those 670s if you are in the UK Scan Computers are selling them for £179 which is cheaper than the GTX 760.

im really impressed with zotac now, i have no idea they are these great, I dont know why they are not popular here in my country (Philippines), its either MSi, Asus(very expensive here), and EVGA are the top brands for Nvidia GPU, Zotac is the last one. thats why i inquire with you guys because they are very very cheap but how come it is not popular here, I wonder if there cards is not reliable, the quality is not good etc..

Zotac is pretty much the top brand for Nvidia GPU nowadays in my country (Malaysia). It's cheap, pretty reliable and come with top notch 2+3 years warranty.

ZOTAC is a really good brand the 2fan cooler they have is not the best but one of the better ones altough it makes some noise but can be ignoreable i would say go for it !

He is the hero this forum deserves but not the one it needs right now.So we'll hunt him because he can take it because he is not our hero he is a silent guardian

im not really worried regarding noise as i have a headphone, as long as it does a great job of cooling the card and i have a headroom for an OC not hardcore OC just a little tweak and it is right by me..

If it's a decent psu, it will be plenty.
