Circuit Board (PCB) Analysis

GPU Chip Voltage Controller
GPU Voltage, VRM Configuration

Zotac has redesigned the VRM on their AMP Extreme, which is now 16-phase; that's more than many RTX 2080 Ti cards—truly impressive! GPU voltage is controlled by a uP9512P controller.

Memory Chip Voltage Controller
Memory Voltage, VRM Configuration

The memory VRM has been beefed up, too. It is now 4-phase, which is again more than on most RTX 2080 Ti cards. Memory voltage is managed by a second uP9512P controller.


Zotac has been including this "super cap" for a while on their high-end graphics cards. It's a capacitor with extra-large capacity, which is supposed to help smoothen out GPU voltage. We tested it a few years ago, and it made no noticeable difference in anything (including overclocking) even though the smoother voltage can be measured with the right equipment.

Graphics Card Memory Chips

The GDDR6 memory chips are made by Samsung and carry the model number K4Z80325BC-HC14. They are specified to run at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps GDDR6 effective). This is the first time we see Samsung memory on a GeForce 20 card, so it'll be interesting to see how well it overclocks compared to the much more common Micron memory.

Graphics Chip GPU

NVIDIA's TU104 graphics processor is the company's second-largest chip using the Turing architecture. It is produced on a 12 nm process at TSMC, Taiwan and has a transistor count of 13.6 billion, with a die size of 545 mm².
