Zotac GTX 980 Ti AMP! Edition Review @ Hardware Slave

Not much to say about this video card.  It is from Zotac with the AMP! triple fan cooler with aluminum backplate.  Zotack cards are hit or miss when it comes to "reference design" or "custom" and by the looks of it there is no way to tell because they didn't take the cooler off.

However, the card is rumored to be longer than the standard 980Ti, which could be from triple cooling fans or a longer PCB. 

Only their hairdresser knows for sure.

This will probably be our last GTX 980 Ti review before the next generation of cards from Nvidia are released. The speculation is they will be named the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 continuing the product naming convention Nvidia have been using for quite a while now. If you forget the GTX Titan cards, out of the budget of most the natural flagship card is the Ti, at least judging by the GTX 980 Ti range and its performance. The production run has now been stopped, and less than a year after it started.

Sadly, getting a review sample of any Zotac card is like pulling teeth but they are out there.  Hardware Slave got one.  I see plenty of overclockers in South America using them and Linus posted a project photo with 10 GPUs in a single case which, I suspect, is where all of the review samples have gone.

Yay YouTube  *roll*
