I've never heard of Zotac .. Are they any good?

Thinking of getting this card.

They are fine.

They have the same parent company as Sapphire.

For the price of that card you could get a HD 7800 card.

Gonna agree with Dark Shroud. I would not recommend a 570 cause of the heat and power draw. Even a gtx660 might be better. If you want the 570 it still performs pretty well, but I really think AMD is the one to stick with this round unless you're playing a bunch of Nvidia optimized games.

y 660 is better choice ....


zotac is fine .. i had 460 amp edition for 1.5 years ... has worked perfectly 🙂

Thanks for the input. I went with this instead --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130785

Decided I wanted the VRAM even tho the 570 price looked pretty good. I need to go NVIDIA because of CUDA.

Heat may not be a bad thing... where I am living is free power and my dorm is very cold 😉

Well then you may want to just go straight for the 480 haha 😀 Anyway enjoy your new card. I hear the 670's are awesome!

Haha, or an overclocked 7970 put that stock 480 to shame whew.
