Participating in ZOTAC Experience -

Let's be real here, The 1080TI is a straight beast in general.
So far the card has been amazing, extremely quiet, temperatures are always within a solid range for being air cooled.
Performance is amazing, I had a ASUS Direct CUII GTX 780 and it was a solid card and give ASUS all the cred it for that card holding it's own while being overclocked for 4 years.
This card looks good, it's definitely heavy, the lighting is bright / vibrant if you care about that kind thing and you have RGB for any color your heart desires.
It has wrecked every game I have thrown at it and I am blown away.

I have this card paired with an i7 4770k which does an amazing job and cannot wait to upgrade to the processor and motherboard in due time to see what else it can do.

Just got out of a few matches of PubG and the temp is currently at 45 C and fan speed is at 30%.

Ease of install - very simple
Packaging - Securely packaged, included a few cables for SLI and power.
Quality - Card is heavy but is very solid and feels quality.
Performance - I have no complaints at all. It's a night and day upgrade for me. Multiple benchmarks while monitoring the fan temps and it's been consistent each time.

So far I'm really happy. Checked temps after gaming and this thing was cool. like 53-59c, fan around 93%. It never dropped below 1964mhz in my graphs from msi speed thingy turner upper. I've not messed with voltages or anything.

This is in an oddball setup. A z800 workstation. My friends laugh at my gaming rig. A founders 1080 wouldn't work. There's a single 6 pin connection in those cards. I was stable until gaming, despite having 18amps on that bus from the power supply. I ganged power from the additional 6 pin that the z800 has. And that didn't fix it. Oddly enough, this card came with two dual 6pin to 8 pin pcie connectors. The card was unhappy and red lit the led next to the connectors when I hooked up each 6pin to each 8 pin connector. So I ran both 6pin's into one 8pin connector, and two molex to 8pin the other connector. Light turned green, and I've had no stability issues while gaming. Perhaps my z800 has some power issue on one of the pcie connectors afterall, cause there should have been 140watts of overhead with the two available 6pin pcie connectors.

Either way, no regrets purchasing this card whatsoever. I like it. I ended up purchasing it after getting a 4k display. I may regret the display a little, but this card I don't regret at all. I have nothing bad to say about it at all. In fact, it seems pretty thoughtful with the led help.

I'm a very light gamer, and I don't like tweaking to instability. I like things to just work. Happy to add this card to my list of things that I don't fiddle with.

Nice quiet and cool running 1080ti card

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017

Style: AMP EditionVerified Purchase

This is a nice variant of the 1080ti. This replaced a 1080ti FE I had. I had high hopes it would overclock better than that one and it does ok but maxes out at +50 core offset and +150 mem offset. That yields about 2000 core / 11300 mem. If I add anything else games and benches crash so I backed the mem to +100 only. I am pushing this at 4k so the GPU is 99% to 100% busy most of the time and the core runs around 1987 or 1949 normally. I have the fan set to hit 100% at 70c which is does and it seems to max out there temp wise. The fan at max is barely audible over my case fans. The card is large, well built, and it looks really nice. I did have trouble with the "spectra" LED because the logo on mine was dark and I could not get it to light up. I had to remove the fan shroud and reseat the cable for the LED to the "Zotac" logo which plugs in on the end of the card and then it started working. For a bit there I thought it was RMA time. I'm a bit disappointed that core didn't run anything over 2ghz stable and then on top of that my memory doesn't OC barely at all. I see people running their mem @ 12000 frequently. Well... It's a quiet card and it does seem to run smoothly - just not the best clocker. I had hoped the "power boost" chips and the 16+2 VRM setup would help. I guess not. Just goes to show you you can add all those gizmos and still get just a good/average card. But at least it's quiet. :) The rest of the system is a Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 7 / Core i7 6700 @ 4.6ghz / 16G 3200 G.skill and lots of m.2 ssd with an Enermax Platimax 1000w.

Avoid ZOTAC at all costs

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2017

The cooler on this card is basically worthless. One of the fan blades broke off when a loose cable inside my case came in contact with the card, and now it vibrates constantly when under any load. ZOTAC customer support refused to help me get a replacement cooler and would not honor the warranty because I did not keep the broken fan blade.

Do yourself a favor and buy a different brand of video card. You might be spending $10 more, but at this price range, it's worth it to get a better product and real customer support.

Very happy with my purchase so far.

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017

I purchased this GPU to play games in 4K at near-maximum settings at 60 FPS, and so far, it does that very well. GTA V, Witcher 3, Metro 2033 Redux, Far Cry Primal, Forza Horizon 3, and Rise of the Tomb Raider run at 60 FPS more or less. I say "near-maximum settings" because if you crank up AA beyond FXAA on most games, you won't get 60 FPS. Of course, at 4K resolution, you may not even need AA. I've turned on AA in some of the aforementioned games and honestly didn't notice any difference in image quality. To the best of my knowledge, I see 20/20, but hey, maybe I don't. Anyhow, the only games I own that won't do 60 FPS even with AA turned off are Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Dishonored 2. With Deus Ex, I get 43-52 FPS, and with Dishonored 2, I get 45-60 FPS. I'm getting 1987 MHz out of the box (Per MSI Afterburner, not Heaven which indicated 2037) with all LEDs working and no coil whine. When running Heaven, the GPU hit a maximum temp of 67 degrees with a fan speed of 54% (set to auto). Now, the card is so big and heavy that it sags at the end; so, I would highly suggest you purchase or devise some kind of brace to prevent damage to the slot. For mine, I built a vertical support of legos, which seems to work perfectly. This card is going to replace the Zotac 980ti Amp Extreme, which I was happy with, but struggled on 4k with newer games. Right away, I could see a significant increase in performance with the 1080ti. That being said, if I was playing at 1080p or 1440p, I would have kept the 980ti as it is more than capable of handling those resolutions for 99% of games.

My Second and Best Zotac Card!

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2017

Style: AMP EditionVerified Purchase

This is my second Zotac video card. Previously I had a Zotac GTX 980 Ti Amp! Extreme Edition which I adored, but I have been gaming at 4K recently and needed to upgrade. This Zotac card gets me most of the way there for 60fps @ 4K. It's not perfect as I do have to lower a few less important graphics settings to get to a 60fps, but overall it's great! I am able to play most current games (2016 and 2017) at max settings at 4K and some more demanding ones like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at 60fps on high settings (not ultra unfortunately).

My only negative at all with this card is that the temps are not ideal. They are acceptable, but actually a bit higher than my Amp! Extreme GTX 980 Ti. My card hovers around the 80C mark when I'm pushing games at max settings. The card is supposed to maintain around 85C or less so this is perfectly acceptable, but just a bit higher than I like. I would have preferred to get the Amp! Extreme edtion, but it was not in stock and I couldn't wait any longer.

Overall, I would recommend this card as a great "bang for your buck" GTX 1080 Ti card. Zotac pushes the clock much higher than the competition and I have been able to overclock this card quite well with very little increase in the temperature that I stated above.

This is my unbiased review of my second Zotac card and I am Participating in ZOTAC Experience.

Throttles constantly due to heat, only works in debug mode

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2019

Style: AMP Extreme Core EditionVerified Purchase

This card throttles a lot. Plus, the card itself is absolutely massive. I have a massive ATX case to accommodate it.

I have to put the card in debug mode to prevent it from running at higher clock speeds to keep the temps down. This means that I ultimately will never get the advertised performance.

Not really their fault, but I can't play any of the battlefield series with this card. After about an hour of gameplay the game randomly hard locks. I have to hardboot the whole pc to get it back up and a lot of times i have to get into bios and reconfigure video output settings. It's crazy!

Definitely don't waste your time with this brand. I thought I'd save money and got raked over the coals.

Figured out why it didn't work on passthrough

The media could not be loaded.

I'll keep the videos up for the purposes of educating the public what happens if you attempt to split a single 150 watt 8-pin PCIe cable into TWO, drawing too much power from a single cable and causing the PSU to go crazy and shut down your entire server. It took a ton of Googling and no direct answers before I learned that this is what happens. From what I was told, I could have avoided a fire hazard or a blown PSU or mobo.

So after I bought a 6+6 to 8-pin adapter, now I have two 8-pins, and I ran GPU-Z to ensure that the video card is properly fed. That's my only caveat about the card because you have to buy a adapter cable. This isn't the Founder's Edition, this is some crazy, cracked-out 1900mhz+ clock speed GPU. It's a insane card. It's massive, with three monsterous fans and I can't even close the lid on my T7610 Precision Graphical Workstation.

I checked GPU-Z and it sucks up to 330W running hashcat on Windows. Because you have 375W max, 300W from two 8-pins, and 75W from the slot. This thing is crazy fast for it's time.

Now that I know it can crack hashes, I want to take it on a spin on my Proxmox server guest in gaming. Right now fiddling with CPU-pinning with numa groups and all kinds of wacky things that i'm pretty sure the designers didn't expect me to do XD

by far the best of the 1080's

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2018

Ive heard a lot of false claims that this card runs hot even with a 3 slot heat sink but here are the facts after testing mine for almost 2 weeks

Coolest temp 32-34c GPU clock 139 MHz
Hottest temp 62c during performance testing the card automatically boosted clock speed at 2037 MHz and that was during a summer heat wave of 105F

What i like about this card is how flexible the GPU speeds are, when im surfing the web or watching movies the GPU down clocks to 139MHz, playing games it can jump all the way up to 2037Mhz but playing less demanding games like warframe actually pushes the GPU only around 800-1000MHz!

This card is light years better than the EVGA GTX 980 classified its replacing that card ran so hot it made my room feel like i was in an oven this summer. thank you Zotac for providing a 3 slot cooling solution!

on a side note i am using a vertical mounted Scythe 120mm fan that blows more air across the GPU and pushes out the heat pocket created between the GPU and CUP heat-sinks. if your GPU runs hot its most likely because of this heat pocket. Ever since they removed the north bridge the PCI #1 slot was pushed closer to the CPU slot creating this potential thermal hazard. i recommend having a fan to push out the hot air in that area

also in regards to the fans not turning on just download the new version of firestorm from zotac and preset the fan speeds based on temp, my fans spin around 60% and with the 4th fan its more than enough to keep the GPU running at 35c
