Same price, I would get EVGA. 

 

Zotac products are great too, they come slightly overclocked, but I'm not sure how their after sales and customer service is.

Both are great it really came down to price. When i pick up my 970 the zotac model was 325$ and the evga one was 360$ so i decide to pick up the zotac one instead.

EVGA of course. Zotac have only just earned some of my respect with their 970 and 980 cards but even then they messed up on the 980.

Zotac did have some nice Ion motherboards back in the day (that'd be an Intel Atom with an nVidia geForce chipset) but purely for graphics cards, of those two I would prefer EVGA. I'm more of an XFX man myself though.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

It´s not even worth to compare. EVGA is superior to all brands when it comes to nVidia cards. They have a large product line of each card, where you can find the best card for your application and there´s nothing (not even the Galax HoF) on the market that comes with cards like a Classified or a Kingpin Edition that holds such a crazy OC ability out of the box.

And on top of that you´ll get the 90 days StepUp program and IMHO the best customer service on the GPU market, you don´t even void your warranty by removing original heatsink.
