Here are the first clear pictures of ZOTAC's upcoming custom-design GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards, the GTX 1080 AMP! and the GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme (pictured in that order). The GTX 1080 AMP! features a simple 2-slot, dual-fan cooling solution, with a moderate factory-overclock. The GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme, on the other hand, features a meaty triple-slot, triple-fan cooling solution, a very strong VRM that draws power from a combination of 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe power connectors, and a heavy factory-overclock.

Both cards feature custom-design PCBs by ZOTAC, which are bound to feature more than one power connector; an identical display output layout of three DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI 2.0b, and one DVI-D; and ZOTAC Freeze Technology, which powers down the fans when the GPU is idling (or under a temperature threshold). The clock speeds of both the cards are still under the wraps. Both cards are expected to be launched on May 27th.

Very curious to see where the 1080 (and 1070) oc's reach on the cards like this AMP! with the extra power connector.

Wonder what kind of VRM is on the AMP Extreme. Would be nice to see if they do and how much better an overclocker they are. This generation seems (From my initial inspection/interpretations) to be amazing mix of old and new style overclocking!!!

Given what a beast the 980Ti Extreme was out of the box, I'm more than a little excited to see what Zotac can pull off this time

Nice. I thought it would be a couple weeks for release.

I've been extremely happy with my Zotac AMP! Extreme GTX 980 since October 2014, and while I see they've removed a couple things like the green/red lights and the USB controlled microcontroller, my card happily overclocked to 1468/8000 with just a modified BIOS. I'll see what other companies have before I probably get a GTX 1080, but this card has been rock solid unlike the couple of Gigabyte cards (HD 7950 and R9 290) that have become paperweights rather quickly out of warranty.

I would wait for an in depth review before ordering or purchasing one of these at the outset.

With the way people are lining up for the 10 series, it's not a bad idea to come out with these at launch.. I'm all over this..

So. Cal.
Is it me or is that Extreme a 3-Slot? With A supreme leader edition only indicating it supposedly dissipates 180W TDP, why Zotac has to have this this humongous brick and 3 fans?

They could passively cool 150W TDP on a 2 slot less than 8" card, and now with 20% more TDP you have to have all this?

Benchmark Scores 3050 scores good 15-20% lower than average, despite ASUS's claims that it has uber cooling.

OCed 1080 consumes much more power than stock. That's where second power connector should help.

Kinda reminds me of those Gskill stickers they were giving out with their ram... "Go beyond limit" it said--in an equally cheesy fashion.

Yep, I did see that when I got it and was looking for how to modify the BIOS as the power limit only goes up to 111% when I think Gigabyte allowed 125% on theirs. FireStorm was also quite terrible at the time (haven't tried it anytime recently) but I prefer BIOS mods anyway. Again, I'm still satisfied with the card and that it is just as fine overclocked now as it was shortly after I got it, while I've had two Gigabyte and one XFX Radeon HD 7950/R9 290 crap the bed, two of which were sent in for RMA between 1-3 months after purchasing new, which is insulting because I have four reference GTX 460s, a GTX 465 and a GTX 470 that are still quite alive after Folding@Home torture. I've also only had one blower fan die on the GTX 465, yet every single Gigabyte Windforce card I've bought including a GTX 660 Ti has had those terrible Power Logic/Everflow fans blow up and I've had to harvest replacements off my dead Gigabyte cards.
