Re: Ratdude's main rig V5.0

This one is a bit of a gamble... and I nearly passed on it, as I was under the impression that it was a fake as only sites like Aliexpress sold it (not listed on Zotac's US site).
However, I did some more research, and found out that Zotac makes an entirely different line of cards for the Chinese market. Sure enough, they have 4 different versions under that part number (different OC amounts and number of streaming cores):

It's a nifty looking card, and looks like it would have pretty good cooling too. Besides, it's "special".
Performance from what I was seeing should be on par with a 1060.
Sweet score or fool's gold?
