I've been watching graphics card prices on and off for a year now and thought I was scoring a fantastic deal on a Zotac 1080 TI AMP Edition for only $599 a couple of days ago when I ordered it, until I started reading the dreadful reviews about the brand. I was always an EVGA guy but they don't fit my budget at the moment. I was actually ready to check out for an EVGA GTX 1080 FTW2 ICX (not TI) for $579 when I saw this Zotac for sale for only $20 more! So obviously I snagged it right away and then regretfully looked up the reviews...
Is this card really that bad and unreliable? I'm actually moving overseas in 1.5 months and obviously warranty support in case something breaks is out of the question. How bad/unreliable are these cards? I can always return it before I move, I just have zero experience with the brand and need some enlightenment
 
Solution
They have a full 3 year warranty if you register the card. I stumbled across a review and the only big complaint was that the fans can get loud because the cooling system's not the best, but not terrible.
