Im not sure if I’ll keep them both yet. I may return one. I do like them though. Build quality of Zotac is pretty good. It feels dense and high quality. I have never owned a Zotac GPU before now. 
 

I’m going to research dual GPU’s a bit and see if there are any benefits. 
 

Edit: One more thing, neither of these Zotac’s have any coil whine. I think that’s one of @electrosoft big pet peeves. Speaking of which. Man I wish I could send you a power supply so you could have a listen your self. It’s an EVGA 1300 P+, It’s only a back up unit. But it is the loudest power supply you’ll ever hear in your life. Full on screaming coil whine that changes with mouse movement. YOU WOULD LOVE IT! I mean, you can hear it across the house. 

 

Excessive coil whine is an instant return/sell off no matter the card.

 

Remember when 3090s were so hard to get on launch and I scored that 3090FE from BB? It was good for about a month then suddenly developed the most insane coil whine I've ever heard. I sold it off near cost just to get it out of my face and limped along with a 3060 for months till I got my 3090KPE. That is how much I can't do excessive coil whine.....

 

I would probably take that EVGA P+ 1300 outside and go Office Space on it like it was a copier...... 🤣

Alright! Now that I have been able to bench and test both cards head to head without a locking up PC. Let’s get in to the details. 
 

These two cards are identical models! One built in Indonesia, the other one built in China. 

Origin: Made in China.

Card A: Zotac Solid

Idle clock: 210Mhz

Max voltage @30c: 1060mv

Max core OC idle @30c: 3382Mhz

1075mv frequency idle @30c: 2,977Mhz

 

Origin: Made in Indonesia.

Card B: Zotac Solid

Idle clock 210Mhz

Max voltage @30c: 1040mv

Max core OC idle @30c: 3,420Mhz

1075mv frequency idle @30c: 3,007Mhz

 

Card “B” seems better to me for daily gaming, it responds better to higher offsets, it responds better to undervolting. It sips power, I can run 900mv@2,977Mhz which is faster than stock clocks, which sends +120-+135 extra mv to the core and runs about 2,867Mhz in games. It loses nothing at 900mv. And it runs about 220 watt in extremely demanding 4K games
 

I will flash the 450W Astral bios to both and see who shines under the flame of heat though, we know these cards can perform differently under actual loads. 
 

I flashed the Astral Extreme 450W bios to card “A” so far I still can’t get the idle 30c clock speed to exceed 3,367-3,382Mhz range without locking up. But, it’s performing great in Steel Nomad so far! I broke 10K, that’s not bad for a 5080. I’m really just curious who can handle the 450w bios the best! 
 

The RTX 5080 doesn’t show its self very well in Steel Nomad lol. It’s better in games.
