Hi Guys

I am getting a very good deal in my country for GTX 1080. The seller is advertising it as Zotac OEM card and giving 24 months warranty. I am not sure if I should go for it. I also have 14 days no question ask to return. Just wondering if this will be really a GTX 1080, is it worth it for the money? I currently have GTX 1060 and I am happy with my machine, but this GTX 1080 deal looks too good. I am thinking if I will not be cheated, I know I will get back the money but just do not want the hassle. Please help. The seller has very good ratings, no complaints at all, all the customer reviews are very good. Do not know what to do, anyone has used any OEM GTX 1080 or 1070. Can anyone give me any suggestions on this situation? I am leaving the link to the shop, sorry it is in the Polish language, you can translate the text. It would be really helpful if anyone could give a legit suggestion. Thanks

Here is the link to the product:

Hi Guys

I wouldn't consider a GTX 1080 when you could get the RTX 2060 for 150 zł more. Newer GPU, it performs better and better dual fan cooling.
Besides that blower fan is very loud.

Couple of comments to consider.
  1. If it's a GTX 1080, it will be within the performance range that GPU. I don't see anything particular there to suggest it isn't (like a VGA output).
  2. It's like a Founder's edition. Generally this means it won't have the best cooling solution or low noise levels.

If the seller is as trustworthy as you can find out, then you should be safe.
