ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SOLID SFF OC vs ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 ROG Strix

Principais diferenças

• The ZOTAC has 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM vs 10GB of GDDR6X on the ASUS. That's a 60% memory advantage, and GDDR7 is a full generation newer. For 4K textures and AI models, this is the difference between fitting in VRAM and choking.
• CUDA core count is 8,960 vs 6,144. The ZOTAC also has 280 tensor cores and 70 RT cores vs 192 and 48 on the Strix. Ray tracing score: 94 vs 65. It's not close.
• The ZOTAC is a small form factor card that SFF builders say actually fits their cases without mods. The ASUS is famously massive, and owners consistently complain about case fitment and needing three PCIe power cables.
• Real-world sentiment is solid on both, but for different reasons. ZOTAC buyers love the plug-and-play upgrade path, though a few got DOA units. ASUS owners praise the quiet cooling and undervolting headroom, but the Armoury Crate RGB software is a known headache.
• The ASUS wins exactly one spec category: memory bandwidth, 912 GB/s vs 896 GB/s. That's a 1.8% edge on a card that loses every other category by double digits. If you're buying the Strix for that, I have a bridge to sell you.
