I'm considering purchasing the Zotac RTX 5090 Solid OC, but I'm having second thoughts. I initially wanted to go for a more expensive RTX 5090, but those models are delayed by a month and cost 20-25% more. Zotac, on the other hand, comes with a 5-year warranty compared to the 3-year offers from competitors. I've previously used a Zotac 3060 Ti for four years without issues, though it was pretty loud. Given the 5090's higher temperature and price, along with the lack of reviews, I'm worried. Should I go for it?

I've had mixed experiences with Zotac—some cards were noisy while others were surprisingly quiet. If noise and heat are a concern, remember you can always undervolt to manage those issues more effectively.
If you're looking at budget options, the Zotac 5090 Solid OC is definitely interesting! I've switched from Asus to Zotac and find it great for gaming. Plus, it has decent aesthetics! Just think about what you want from it.
Honestly, I wouldn't go over $2800 for any GPU right now. Even high-end models with the same chip might perform worse than cheaper alternatives, like the Zotac Solid or Trio cards.
True, I've heard that Zotac has fewer warranty issues compared to Asus, who haven't fared well lately.
