Hats off to ZOtac for releasing such compact card. This is exactly why i bought an nvidia card cos the AIBs can release decent compact cards.
AMD LEARN FROM THIS. LEARN!!!!!!!!! SHEEEKO!!!!!!

is smaller
smaller (only just) but also performs nowhere near that 1080 and runs hotter.
Sure, if you're happy with mid range, AMD have an option (Nano) but anything above that, not so much.

??? Nano along with Fury X is the highest performing AMD single chip solution since 2015
He based his argument solely on size...
He said he bought NVIDIA because of the smaller size and critizised AMD (not even the AIB manufacturers...) as if AMD choses which after market vendors do and do not decide to produce mini formats of their boards.
If he argues with size, I showed him the highest tier AMD card which is smaller than this Zotac Mini.
If instead had argued with highest peak performance, he wouldn't even have to mention size at all.
But in size, AMD is smaller even with their reference solution here.
So.... in other words.
There is not a single AMD card (smaller or larger) that has the performance of a 1080 at the moment. But that was not the point at all.

Great review but any chance of an Arma3 being included with sp and mp comparison, i know its largely a cpu dependent game but at higher setting the gpu players a bigger role....thats what would sell it for me.
