Overall, the price speaks for itself. Their sales volume higher than most major brands due to price, many ppl would buy them just for the price it offer, including miners. So, many of them are selling to clear off are mostly miners. Just beware.
Also because, they offer 5 years warranty now instead of 3 or 4 years most other brands offer.
Temp wise, it is already well known zotac run a tad higher than the rest.
1. Their thermal paste is bad. Maybe not as bad as Intel TIM, but still is bad.
2. They got design mini cards, those are meant to be fitted to small places, not meant to perform/overclock very high. So, it's important to know what you buy and for what purpose. Don't buy a mini card and complain cannot overclock well. It doesn't tally, get me?
3. Their heatsink design is not as effective as big brand major competitor like EVGA, Asus and MSI. That is the weakness of zotac all along.
4. Their fans quality fall behind a bit too. They perform louder than brands like Asus and MSI which are well known to make quiet fans, especially their higher end flagship model.
Lastly, it's price/performance ratio. For cheaper price, it still perform up to specs as advertised, or at least to nvidia specs. In the end, if you felt the price you get can negate the weakness stated above, by all means, zotac is a welcoming brand with long warranty period to offer at an attractive price.
