Zotac’s new GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards use cool tricks for max performance

Zotac has revealed a trio of new GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards which include some neat cooling tricks and customizable lighting.

The top-end card is the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme (pictured above), followed by the GTX 1080 Ti AMP edition (pictured below), and lastly the base model is the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Blower (pictured bottom).

We’ll deal with the former two first, although at this stage, we don’t know the exact spec details of these more powerful boards, such as the clock speeds.

However, in this initial reveal, Zotac highlighted some of the neat features present on both models, which include Spectra LED lighting that can be fully customized, along with 16 + 2 power phases to ensure efficient power distribution and better stability.

There’s also an IceStorm cooling system for taming any potential heat issues with these beefy cards, with the AMP edition getting a pair of 100mm wide-blade fans, and the Extreme version benefiting from a trio of 90mm fans.

The latter card also gets metallic ‘ExoArmor’ featuring a metal backplate and copper which is directly in contact with the GPU core for the best cooling performance (along with strategically placed thermal pads on other heat-generating components).
