I pre-ordered the Inno3d GTX 3060 Ti X2 card due to its amazing price, and I have never heard of this GPU brand. Is this GPU brand good? and most importantly is it quiet compared to brands such as Zotac?

Thanks
 
Inno3D have been around for a long time. I heard about Zotac way more recently than Inno3D. Main thing with Zotac is the length of warranty if you register it with them. I've got a Zotac 1080Ti and it's dead quiet - although I run a custom fan curve dependant on temperature.

TBH most modern GPUs are quiet - especially if you set a custom fan curve.

Regardless of which card you went for, you've got a great deal. None of the ones on offer were a 'blower' style, which tend to be noisier. I was tempted myself, but the performance increase from a 1080Ti wasn't worth the upgrade given what I play.
 
is inno3d a good brand ? No not really but most of that is due to brand snobbery. Like most inno3d cards this will most likely use the reference pcb with a generic 2 fan solution on top. I have been using a KFA2 1080 with a reference pcb and generic 3 fan solution on top for 4 years and its great, if i had paid £100 more for an Asus/MSI card would I have been happier ...no.

The good news is that this card will most likely perform within 5% of the same chip from more fashionable brands and not be that much louder at all. It was a great deal at the price so gratz and enjoy.

Caveat. Less than 5% or so of complex electronic devices will be faulty on delivery. In this case your sellers warranty guarantees replacement/money back so you are covered for 1 year. After 1 year then you have to deal with the manufacturer and good luck with that but tbh if it lasts a year it will just keep on chuggging away for a long time like most other electronic stuff does. It fails quickly due to a fault or it just keeps working in my experience.
 
INNO 3D is one of those brands worth considering for reference models, but if you do have a failure the RMA support is probably non existent. The non reference stuff is in all likelihood cheap garbage.
