I very nearly bought the zotac Solid Core 5070ti after checking out reviews I thought it looked great for the price. I then realised I was looking at reviews for the solid and not the solid core.

Little bit of a ****** move by zotac naming the cards so similarly having them look almost the same but massively downgrade the cooler.

Anyone got the core version or seen reviews of them?
Think they use the same cooler on the 5080 too.
 
The solid was originally an MSRP card according to the reviews that's the bit that gets me.

Agree there's a place for the core version but all the reviews are for the normal solid so it would be very easy to think you were buying that and end up with the lesser card.

Since you're here Gibbo and have likely had hands on with both cards which has in your opinion the better cooler, the palit gaming or the zotac solid core?
Thanks
 
At least they gave it a new name, made it look different and are actually selling it for £729 though. Be different if they called it a ventus core made it look very similar, downgrades the cooler and still charged £800.
