ZOTAC has announced their latest GeForce GTX 1080 Ti series cards including the behemoth, GTX 1080 Ti Extreme Edition.
The ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Extreme Edition has now been revealed. The new graphics card brings a big update in terms of design to the previous Extreme Edition products. Based on the GP102 GPU, the GTX 1080 Ti rocks a fully custom design that features two key components which include IceStorm Cooling and Metallic ExoArmor.
The card measures three slots in height and features a triple fan cooling system. ZOTAC is pushing the limits with this card as it integrates a densely packed aluminum fin array heatsink that is fitted with five copper based heatpipes. From front to back, this card screams performance and has a metallic ExoArmor shroud and backplate that features LEDs. The sides feature an acrylic frame that will light up too. The ZOTAC logo on the backplate also features LED Lighting, as well.
ZOTAC GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme Features
- IceStorm Cooling System
- Metallic ExoArmor with backplate
- FREEZE Fan Stop System
- 2 x PowerBoost
- SPECTRA LED Lighting System
- 16 + 2 power phases
- Extreme speed
The custom PCB design sports 16 + 2 phase design and 2 x Power Boost. We can see that the PCB uses Power Boost 2.0 capacitors which allow stable supply to the core when running under overclocked conditions. Power is fed through dual 8-Pin connectors and the display configuration is standard Pascal.
ZOTAC GTX 1080 Ti AMP
The ZOTAC GTX 1080 Ti AMP is a slightly toned down variant of the Extreme. It comes with a dual slot, dual fan cooler but retains the 16+2 Phase PCB. The PCB is cooled by an impressive heatsink design that comes with several heatpipes for better heat dissipation from the core, memory and VRMs. This model will be powered by a dual 8-pin power configuration as well. The price for this version is about 759 USD.
Features:
- IceStorm Cooling System
- ExoArmor with metallic blackplate
- FREEZE Fan Stop System
- PowerBoost
- SPECTRA LED Lighting System
- 16 + 2 power phases
ZOTAC Reference GTX 1080 Ti
Finally, we have ZOTAC’s reference GTX 1080 Ti model. The design of this card is very simple since it’s a reference model. We are looking at a Founders Edition PCB so a 7 Phase DualFET layout is expected. It will be retailing at $699 US.
