Zotac GeForce RTX 5080 AMP Extreme Infinity

[W1zzard]

The Zotac GeForce RTX 5080 Amp Extreme Infinity comes with large RGB lighting elements to bling up your case. You also get a triple-fan cooling solution and a factory overclock. In our testing the gaming performance was the second best, right behind the $1500 ASUS Astral OC.

I'm no longer going to trust Zotac anymore.
My RTX 3080 is very noisy, runs extremely hot therefore it down clocks all the time, significantly reducing the performance.
I used to buy MSI and never had the issues I faced with Zotac.

Absolutely brutal design downgrade from the 30 and 40 series, straight up ugly, did Zotac fire all of their designers?

That can be down to yields or some poorly chosen paste. If it was a yields issue, it can probably undervolt with little work. Happens with some cards. (only non-boost clock is guaranteed...)

I'd say this one has a very impressive backplate and front PCB support that is very thick. Most impressive card support I've seen in a good while. Only AMD used to build them this though.

Thanks. I figured they like to send the higher end models.

4090 amp was great. Fans never spun high enough to be audible over the case fans.

They do have a rare rgb controller bug that also existed on 30series they never fixed however.

Actually Hardcore Overclocking checked all pics from techpowerup reviews and choosed Zotac as the best, by the looks, PCB.

I haven't seen that in the cards I've handled. Maybe you need a repaste?

What? Some of us like the looks of the Zotac models. Personal preference is a thing..

Anyone knows if this model or the 5090 variants from Zotac use some PTM like MSI/ASUS this gen or just regular thermal paste?

Based on the photo's on the following page, it doesn't look like it's using phase-change TIM.

I'm going to give a hesitant no answer to that. W1z would know for sure.

Nah.. 40 series, but he is running 30 series.

I should look at my 3070Ti.. I haven't cracked it open yet..

Right, gotcha.

You've just had it sitting around not being used?

I had a Zotac Airo Extreme 4080 for almost two years and it was flawless. Ran cool and quiet.
