Hey guys,

i have been wondering wether i should get a zotac gtx 1070 ti mini or a full sized one for my atx build since the zotac mini is much cheaper than normal sized ones.

the ONLY reason to get a Mini is if you don't have room for a full size card.

But the mini costs 50 euros less

and also has crappier cooling, do you want your card to run hotter then it needs to to save 50 euros?

But isnt that a rather slim difference ?

better then a Founders card sure but up to 10 C worse then some of the competition out there and you want to be as cool as possible because your temps are directly related to your clockspeed with GPU Boost 3.0 assuming good airflow in the case it should be ok to use, but it won't be as good as the better options like the MSI cards

Always get full size cards unless you're constrained by case.

At the expense of worse cooling.

Not really. Zotac's cards in particular tend to struggle a bit with VRM cooling from what I've seen. Even a Founder's Edition card would be a better option.
