I never liked Zotac. Their GPUs are the cheapest in my region and never once did I feel the need to get even a RTX 5050 because they have a reputation of using crappy thermal solution and their fans are noisy and die early. I do have a Zotac 3090 I bought used for $652 but the seller had it repasted and replaced all the thermal pads and the temps under load seemed nothing to be concerned about. Plus, that story where Zotac support told the user they could throw their card away at no charge...man, how scummy and desperate must they be for making a few dollars at the expense of their customers!
