Hi,

 

I'm looking for a 980Ti but I am not too sure about the quality of these manufacturers.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zotac-Geforce-GTX980TI-Internal-Graphic/dp/B00Z9D1AIE/

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Palit-GeForce-Jetstream-Graphics-DisplayPort/dp/B00ZRIGGY4/

 

Anyone know anything about these manufacturers, build quality and European RMA process?

Thanks

Zotac is a trusted brand, but I've not heard much about Palit.

Zotac if you are gonna use their cooler,

 

EVGA if you are gonna change the cooler. (Their warranty is the shizz).

Avoid Asus (Their GPUs are usually of sub par quality in my experience)

If you can find me an ASUS card for about that price or less, link it.

Zotac´s 980Ti´s are very good. Go for the amp!extreme. Its a Monster.

Never had to RMA a Zotac Card, so dont know anything about that. Dont think there will be much of a difference to other Brands.

I just got an EVGA 980ti, I like it. I think you'll be pleased too. Though I don't know shit about other manufacturers for the 980ti. I used gigabyte on my old 7950 and I was pleased then too. So... I guess you'll most likely be pleased with what ever you get, it's an awesome card

I wouldn't go for Palit, but Zotac is k

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

The amp! is a a great Card too. It will play anything you like in max settings and very high fps (1080p - 1440p) without any Problems.

Every 980Ti even the Reference is super fast.

I'd go Gigabyte just for the temperatures.

If you have to choose from either Palit or Zotac, I'd go Zotac as I have no experience with Palit products. I know Zotac doesn't disappoints.

Yeah, right now I run 1 4k monitor and want to add some more, my 680 4GB just can't connect more that one displayport. So I'm kinda forced to upgrade the GPU, but games run fine at 4K already.

This is why I want an inexpensive GPU that keeps cool.
