The PCB also features a large cutout for airflow from the cooler to pass right through. Zotac's factory-overclock for the RTX 3090 Ti is 1890 MHz boost, while the NVIDIA reference runs 1860 MHz.Behold, the Zotac GTX 1080 Amp Extreme, a triple-wide juggernaut that weighs almost twice as much as the 1080 Founders Edition. Zotac sent over their unholy behemoth of a card to prove that bigger actually is better. We've looked at a few of these Zotac cards in the past, and with some people saying cooling is a concern for the GTX 1080, we wanted to unleash the hounds and see what happens when a company pulls out all the stops. The core GTX 1080 specs haven't changed, but Zotac is pushing the limits hard and they've taken a few extra liberties with their card's design. Along with the massive cooler, the Amp Extreme sports not one but two 8-pin PEG connections. ![]() That's more than a little overkill, considering the stock 1080 is designed to use 180W, and a single 8-pin plus the x16 slot are able to provide 225W combined. Zotac's card could in theory draw up to 375W of power from the various connections, and in practice it uses 75-90W more power than a stock 1080 FE. ![]() Mobo: Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4 (opens in new tab) The dual 8-pin connections might not be strictly necessary (8-pin + 6-pin would do), but they're there to provide a bit of wiggle room if you need it.ĬPU: Intel Core i7-5930K (opens in new tab) 4.2GHz Zotac lists the power draw at 270W, which is in line with what I measured.
