GTX 980 Ti HELP !

[Renats MC]

Hi so i have saved up some cash just about for

http://www.amazon.co.uk/ZOTAC-GeForce-GTX-Graphic-Card/dp/B00YNEIAWY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1443642084&sr=8-2&keywords=980+ti

Is that same as stock Geforce gtx 980 ti ?

Can i overclock later if i swap watercooling to 1200 mhz ?

Or should i save for
http://www.amazon.co.uk/367/dp/B00ZPEAFXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443642084&sr=8-1&keywords=980+ti

The zotac has the STOC cooler on which blows air outside the case but runs hotter if your overclocking whereas the EVGA will overclock better , be cooler but exhaust heat inside your case and comes with a higher factory boost clock and has a backplate!

If you are going to water cool then just by the stock card. You'll get great temps and be able to overclock it very well. Plus, depending on which overclocked card you buy - the water block may not fit. Most water blocks are cut for the reference design. Save the money and buy a stock one.

Or buy an EVGA Hydro Copper with the water block already mounted.

I wouldn't really worry about which card is going to boost higher than the next. On a water block you should be able to get them equal or very close. And the difference is not going to be a drastic amount of FPS between them.

Stock Geforce 980 ti costs more then ZOTAC GeForce GTX 980 Ti.

Also i don't have that much money , but i will be able upgrade later with waterblock.

I don't know 'most' water blocks but I have an EKWB on my EVGA 980 ti.

The best thing to do is find the type of water block you eventually want to mount and check the manufacturers website. There usually is a compatibility list somewhere.

Thnaks if i can't find ill come back.

If anyone knows please let me know, thank you.

IF you are going to put a waterblock on it, I honestly would be looking at if EK, Bitspowers or whoever makes a block for that card. I've had to sell plenty of video cards because I couldn't find a waterblock for non-reference version of the card. Or the block would be $200.

I suggest buying a reference card and the waterblocks will be super cheap in comparison. Also the max you are going to get out of ANY card is about 1500~ so why not just buy a reference card?

The zotac should work fine with ek waterblock and any others, that zotac is a reference pcb and that'll be the easiest waterblocks to find.

And yeah you can overclock it just fine...I think that's 1000 Mhz base, just the basic one...I have the basic one but from evga and then I added the hybrid unit and backplate to it. I get it to around 1290 Mhz base clock and boost to around 1500 Mhz.

Thanks for good answer that was i looking for because i thought Zotac swapped around PCB but if it's stock then i should be able to find waterblock for this card. 😉
