Just wondering are you going to start stocking these manufacturers cards soon?
They seem very good for price/performance compared to a lot of other brands and considering their parent company is like one of the biggest players in computer component manufacturing, seems like a brand which can only go up in the world.
If you see another graphics card say if you are looking at an 8800GT, and its the same price as the Zotac, then get that, brands aint that relevant, just check warranty etc.. all the cards are the same, they are all manufactured in the same factory, yes some are overclocked but you pay a premium for those that you should not really have to pay.Quote:

I would prefer to buy from Scan because the rest of my PC was purchased from Scan and whenever I have a problem with my PC I need only deal with a single company.
I was only saying, but I'm sure I've seen the zotac cards for the same price as other ones around.
No brand is better than all rest, all the same except different stickers/boxes.
People would disagree with you there, many would reccomend people buy EVGA for the step up program or to buy BFG cards because their customer service is unmatached etc.
hehe, the step-up program aint that good, best off selling the card and buying a new one as EVGA's prices they have are usually higher than most E-Tailers charge. And you have to send the cards off the Germany and it can take weeks, so its not as good as it sounds.Quote:

Some may look the same as they follow nvidia reference designs, individual ram & other component spec can vary considerably as can construction quality and no doubt QA policy. Others use their own custom layouts.
Also some manufacturers release higher spec versions with prime gpu and ram samples capable of much higher than stock frequencies, often this will be warranted at factory overclock settings.
Hi,
I'd also like to see Scan add the range of Zotac graphics cards to there product list, the AMP variety is suppose to be the fastest 8800GT on the market, the reviews for the AMP range give nothing but praise. Apprantly Zotac is a subsidury of Sapphire as well so have good backing as well.
