Ah so the overclockers guy blatantly lied to me and was rather rude aswell.
So like, will Zotac release a vBIOS update for 400W?

I mean, does it really make that much of a difference, like 2-3 fps?I doubt it. People on the Zotac sub reddit keep requesting it. Probably not though if the capacitor thing is to be believed.
no. Already contacted them about removing the HSF and they said it was fine, they actually mentioned it'd be better if I tried it rather than wait for more stock on an RMA (I mailed them regarding the heat)
They might have just been lying to avoid the RMA, I hope you got that in writing in case they give you issues in the future about it.
Yeah see my other post, it's a screen shot where Zotac said it was fine to remove the HSF as long as I don't damage the GPU in the process.
Guess it's just the fact it's more expensive than the founders with a worse cooler, worse power limits and only redeeming feature is warranty.
Do you know if the PCB of the Zotac and FE have lining up NVLink fingers?Well that and it's a bit smaller so I didn't lose my PCIe SSD drive slot.
Turning off those daft LED disco lights allows the card to OC higher by the way.
They don't line up. if you want sli make sure to get two the same as every card is slightly different in dimensions and the placement of the sli fingers can be slightly higher up or lower or they can be further back or further to front.Do you know if the PCB of the Zotac and FE have lining up NVLink fingers?
Tbh might just wait for 3090 FE or FTW3 Hydro copper to be in stock, OCUK trying to sell Zotac for £1699 when it's seemingly worse than FE for £1399.They don't line up. if you want sli make sure to get two the same as every card is slightly different in dimensions and the placement of the sli fingers can be slightly higher up or lower or they can be further back or further to front.
So don't risk it. That's why I made sure to buy same models this time for me and my brother and good thing I ended up with two 3090s and he got one too at same time grr, so I ended up with the extra, which is ok I can use it in another build or SLI it and hoping mGPU gets added to FS2020 when they add DX12 to it, then I will be cuffed to bits to have the second one.
Zotac is not worth £1700, although it’s an ok card it’s not worth that.Tbh might just wait for 3090 FE or FTW3 Hydro copper to be in stock, OCUK trying to sell Zotac for £1699 when it's seemingly worse than FE for £1399.

I had one for a couple of weeks till I got hold of the card I wanted (gaming x trio) it’s held back by the power limit but if all you want to do is play gaming and not bothered about overclocking the **** off try and get one for around £1500.
Lol thats a good price - did they tell you which lorry it fell off the back of?I purchased a 3090 ZOTAC on release day for £1300
I’d imagine the official lorry, as I purchased it from another major retailer on launch day. The price was £1349.99 and that is its RRP. Why anyone would pay any more is beyond me. The profit Margins must be pretty big, whacking the price so high at the minute.Lol thats a good price - did they tell you which lorry it fell off the back of?![]()
Sorry bud just a bit of a wind up - sounds like you got it at a great price. Good going considering it was release day.I’d imagine the official lorry, as I purchased it from another major retailer on launch day. The price was £1349.99 and that is its RRP.
