Hello, Im having a problem here. I cant decide between two of these cards. The problems are due to some factors. First, I can get a brand new asus 1080 for 75k with international warranty and Zotac variant cost for almost 90k but comes with local warranty as well. Secondly, the asus card looks much more cooler than zotac. i dont like the yellow part on gpu plate.

Now ive heard that the zotac 1080 is the fastest card out there. Exactly how much frames will i get more than asus variant? is it wise to spend 15k more for zotac or should i just get Asus 1080 strix?

Depends on what res you play on. Strix cards are nit bad either and available with local warranty.
You will be good with any card you select. To know which is faster i say watch youtube review.
Personally i do not like yellow, unless you have yellow themed build i say avoid it.

Both are good cards, honestly the biggest factor should be your build color/theme. I personally have the 1070 strix

You should buy strix, will match your build color theme and performance difference will not be great, strix are high clocked cards and are reliable

both cards are more or less the same. Spending 15k extra on a mere overclock which can be done manually makes no sense. Save those 15k and buy Asus StrikeX card.

Hey bro, there is no International Warranty on Asus Products except that on their notebooks. Please, clear that thing. If anyone is telling you that you can get Asus Strix card in Int'l warranty is simply lying or not clearly communicating what does he mean. Asus products have regional warranty ONLY. If you would buy an Asus card, say from US, and then bring it here, this does not mean that product is in Int'l warranty. Big No. Instead, card is in US regional warranty and should you have any issues with the card, you will have to return the card on any US address from where Asus will process the RMA and replacement card will be delivered on that US address. Afterwards, that card would need to be shipped to Pakistan. See the hassle in there.

Now, coming to the second part of the question. If you are buying the card just for gaming, then please, make a wise decision and get any card which is cheaper. If you are buying a card for overclocking and running after bench marks then get Zotac. For your good info, Asus Strix 1080 is also available here in local, 3 years warranty with Shing.

Honestly speaking, any card would do. And if I were you, I would not buy any card at the moment as 1080Ti is upon us followed by Pascal Refresh.

Now, you know your options. Good luck.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
