Zotac vs PNY

[Danovic]

I am going to buy a graphic card, so which one is better for gaming at 1080p.

8192MB ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16

8192MB PNY GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 (Retail)

8192MB MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 (Retail)

Do you really need a GTX 1080 for that resolution? its a overkill.

For 1080p a 1070 would do fine (except.you got some 235Hz screen)

As for the 1080s, stay clear of all founders edition unless you're running an ITX case.
I suggest going for the Zotac AMP! 1080/1070

Dont realy need, but it wil be better in the future.

But in the future you will have a better card for less money. (Ex: new GTX 1070 performs better than the previous TITAN X generation and check the range of money).

Btw , its your money and your call. Now i'm going to respond your question, do you have a good case? I would pick the Zotac one (the big boy i guess)

If your future plans are to buy a 1440 or 4K monitor, sure, buy the 1080.

If you plan to game in 1080 for another 2-3 years, you're wasting your money on a 1080 and would get by fine with a 1060/1070 until all of these cards are obsolete and something much better has come along to upgrade to.

The 1080 will last you longer than a 1070 will. I understand why you are looking at a gtx 1080. It makes sense to me at least as you will get the 60fps+ longer than people will with a 1070. As far as which one i would choose the msi as its cooler is better than the others listed. However i know it costs usually a good bit more also so in terms of price the zotac amp from my experience when i was shopping for my 2 1080's was the cheapest one out there coming in at $599 at the time i was looking around. Its still a great card and will do the job better than a reference style card. If you want to save a few bucks get the amp. If you want to spend a little extra the asus strix cards i have i paid $639 each and they cool better.
