May I ask why you bought a 3rd Zotac card? Or are they all replacements under warranty?

Zotac is like any other company.

I've had 5 Zotac GPUs over time and given to friends later even... and they all are running still.

 

Hit or Miss happens to every company.

You've just had worse luck than most.

Its likely a circumstantial set of issues.

i have already given it for repair, 1st one was a gtx 660 of which fans stopped working and then poor image quality then after sometime it went dead next gtx 960 which also first had the fans stop working and then very poor display had to get it repaired and then the gtx 1650 super a few days back but luckily i had the warranty so its gone for repair

what game were you playing when there was framedrops, was it a gpu intense game that you maybe played on too high settings so when a big explosion happened you would drop frames?

what cpu do you have and how much ram and what speed are they?

do you have sufficient storage in your computer and what psu are you using

Only in Fortnite or other games as well?

What does "poor display" mean?

[SkilledRebuilds]

With overthinking I've overblown some experiences as certain things, when it was a culprit elsewhere.

 

Fortnite stutters when installed on MOST HDDs,..

The starting drop,.. on the way down,..  and when doing stuff at times, even with lower settings, its 8thread aware and that stuff still happens on my SSD with a 2080ti because the 4790k can't match the 2080ti needs in Fortnite,.. but in your game it could very well be not 1650 super related, but the HDD aspect.

 

Fans super loud means its just working hard...and the factory curve is too aggressive, or case airflow isn't the best. You can tune fanspeeds with prpgrams.

 

In my opinion based off my PC experience with FN.

 

Image Quality concerns?

I was going to mix a ZOTAC rtx 3070/3060ti with a MSI motherboard but after seeing that some people have luck, and for some people something is amiss, it is quite daunting.

4790k is a haswell refresh and doesnt support DDR4 

[my name is guru iam tech]

MSI Aren't perfect either. My 980 Ti Started smoking and the packaging for that one says "Built to be perfect".

My Zotac GTX 980 hasn't given me any issues so far and I've had it for nearly a year. I guess its just down to bad luck.

zotac isn't bad, it's just a "budget brand" and therefore not great... pretty sure msi ventus and armor are worse (just imo)

All brands make budget cards. Zotac isn't a budget brand more than any other vender.

Silicon lottery or just have an axe to grind. Like my 1660s mines like hell
