When it comes to performance, the Asus GTX 980 scores more than a stock card, which is obvious, and comes close to the ZOTAC AMP! Extreme. In games where the Asus Strix scores 4-7 FPS ahead of the stock card, the ZOTAC variant ends up scoring 4-7 FPS ahead of Asus. So unless you are finicky about getting those few extra frames, it doesn’t matter. The Asus card is preferable for its factory overclock and sticking to a dual slot width.
