Zotac GTX 780ti AMP, Zotac brand reliability?

[rymnd6c28]

Hi, I'm always go to toms for anything about pc. Im about to build a pc:
i7 7490, asrock h97 performance, corsair csm 750w, 8GB ram corsair pro red.
and the gpu I was almost sure about Zotac, but still have my doubt about this brand, especially for the GTX780ti amp model. In my country, this is the cheapest 780ti there is. cost like 1million rupiah(indonesian) below other 780ti and 1million more to a 780.

FYI i got a nvidia 3dvision ready monitor so i kinda want to take advantage of it later, im torn between gtx 780 ghz ed. , sapphire r9 290x tri-x, and the zotac itself. but i kinda doubt the performance of gtx 780 even on 1080p but im going for 60+ fps on current and future games (w/ my 120hz monitor).
pardon my english 😛 and thank you in advance.

This may not be typical of Zotac, but my first gpu was a reference Zotac gtx 670 and it was terrible. The fan ground and buzzed loudly even at idle and the coils buzzed and whistled when stressed. I sent it back.

zotac..
well, this one is crappy brand..
zotac usually use lower grade components, crappy cooler and high temp, all of that result shorter life of this graphic card...

get a better card from asus or msi..

you'll get what you pay..

that crappy expensive card won't last long..it's better to save your money and get 1 million rupiahs more to get a real 780Ti card..

beside that, warranty claim to asia raya (zotac distributor in indonesia), is not easy, if something happens to your card..

the Sapphire Tri-x cards are awesome, great cooler, low temps and quiet.
