Zotac GeForce GTX 980 Ti AMP! Extreme Review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 07/02/2015 08:50 AM [ 44 comment(s) ]

In this review we benchmark the new Zotac GeForce GTX 980 Ti AMP! (Extreme edition), the product is a beast man, HUGE awesome cooling (literally) and it comes factory overclocked towards an entirely new level. Combined with the default goodness the GTX 980 Ti has to offer like the 6 GB graphics memory this product just oozes unadulterated raw gaming performance.

ZOTAC is all about maximum clocks out of the box. I dont see them staying on top for long.
HOF, Lightning should be safer bet.
iChill is all about lowest temps.
And Kingpin is coming with 1418MHz factory boost clock(!)

It'll probably have a healthy price compared to the other 980ti's, it'll definitely be a good card but I'd want to put it in a custom loop if I was going to get one. You're just not going to get the full benefit of the card otherwise, better off saving money and oc'ing a lesser model if sticking to air.

The Zotac model is really well priced in the UK, in line with the G1 and 6G. So it's a coin toss depending on what you're looking for exactly. I like the cooler and design of the Zotac, and I'm unlikely to SLI in the future if I'm honest.

...I should really stop trying to talk myself into getting a 980ti.

I did some look up on the kingpin version, jeez, Absolute NASTY!!!.

3 power connectors, 2 8 pin connectors and 1 6 pin connector, jeezus.

I wonder how this going to overclock, I read on the 980 kingpin version, not the ti one, kingpin broke the 2.1ghz record on the gpu core, good lord.

So.. I've personally tested all the cards as shown below. I'm keeping the Zotac Extreme

In a nutshell, I am 1560 stable core on the Extreme. Possible due to my insanely high ASIC rating? Who knows. Either way, all great cards (minus the EVGAs)

Not everyone wants their computer glowing like a kiddy ricer car. Many people consider excessive lighting and fluff to look cheap and tacky, in most cases that includes myself.

+1. But some people like as if it was designed by four year old, just like the new Civic Type R

My only gripe with this card are the fins, that go across the card, and not parallel just like on other cards. So all the hot air stays in case.
