i say go with mine but thats just my opinion ive not used or seen any vids on the zotac ( not saying its a bad card) mine has a higher stock clock speed so it will be faster out of the box and mine has two fans ( not as much space needed) the zotac has 3. some cases might not work with the zotac ( i think) so those are about the only differences. and that the zotac looks alot nicer
