The Card

The Zotac AMP is a highly compact design, which is a bit unexpected for "AMP," which usually are big bulky cards. As primary color gray is used, with some gold highlights. On the back you'll find a metal backplate with a large cutout.


Dimensions of the card are 22.0 x 12.0 cm, and it weighs 674 g.


Installation requires two slots in your system. We measured the card's width to be 41 mm.


Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 2.1b and one HDMI 2.1b.

Standard for all GeForce RTX 50-series Blackwell cards is a new display engine that supports three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, each capable of UHBR20; and one HDMI 2.1a. Both interfaces support DSC (display stream compression). With DSC enabled, a single DisplayPort on this card can drive 4K 12-bit HDR at 480 Hz; or 8K 12-bit HDR at up to 165 Hz. The RTX 5060 Ti features an updated media acceleration engine with support for 4:2:2 video formats, AV1 UHQ, and MV-HEVC. Unlike the bigger RTX 50 models, which have two, there is a single NVENC and NVDEC unit each.


The card uses a single 8-pin connector, which, theoretically allows a maximum power draw of 150 W, plus 75 W from the slot. The card's power limit is set to 180 W, with up to 200 W allowed with manual increases.


Zotac has installed a lighting zone near the power connector of the card.

Teardown

The heatsink uses three heatpipes and provides cooling not only for the GPU, but also for the memory chips and VRM circuitry.


The backplate protects against damage during installation and handling. No thermal pads here to provide cooling for the memory chips on the back side.
