Any Zotac Experience?

[ryyo96]

Hi Everyone.

I'm probs going to get the Zotac reference 980 Ti. Just wanting to know if anyone has had any experience with the company before I make a final decision in case I need any customer support.

Thanks.

Just got my 970 exreme core edition, so far when I did a test boot no coil whine and everything is going well. Have not done any performance tests yet.

I don't have a problem with my 970 Zotac. My brother has one too no problems. Zotac is a branch from Sapphire but for Nvidia cards.

I have had a zotac 770 it was fine.

I have the 980Ti amp! extreme. Everything is perfect.

 

Badass Performance, silent, no coil whine, low temperatures.

 

But dont buy a reference card. realy, dont do it. Safe 100 extra bucks and buy a custom. Serious!

If Zotac is a Sapphire branch, then expect a rock solid and near perfect product.

Realy? I didnt knew that. No wonder this Card feels like a solid high quality product.

I really wish Sapphire had just kept the name and looks for Nvidia cards. While Zotac has improved their looks drastically over the 970 Zotac models I really prefer Sapphire card's aesthetic.

I have a zotac 980ti reference card

not dealt with customer service.

but my cards a great overclocker!

I've managed a stable 1400Mhz clock speed which turbos to 1500Mhz. even clocked at 1250Mhz it still turbos to 1500.

if it weren't for thermal throttling I could push it way further!

Sapphire isnt known for binning cards too well, what they do however is that they do factory OC to the brink of the capacity of their chip, and make that OC rock solid. Take the R9 280X Toxic. It is so insanely OCd from the factory that you cannot increase the clock or memory even 10Mhz before artifacting happens, however at stock levels it wont throttle and it wont be unstable. Sapphire is the premium brand for AMD. Even if they do not charge a premium, they have THE best coolers, and they are the first company to use vapor chambers and heatpipes in GPU design from what i remember. Their VaporX models are simply SICK at cooling (the Tripple fan VaporX design has a cooling capacity of over 400w if i remember correctly, leaving crazy amounts of OC headroom)
