Anyone with a GTX 1070 ZOTAC AMP Extreme?

In all honesty one 1070 compared directly with another 1070 there will not be that much of a difference. 2-4 FPS that's what we are talking about here so my suggestion would be go with the one you trust more

Have a look at some of this guy's recent uploads. Not a review, but this was the only thing I could find on this card with some benchmarks with tools and games. I'm looking at buying it too.

I'm wondering whether this 10 series will be hampered by DX12 down the line compared to their AMD counterparts? I'm not an expert so wanted to ask the community if they had any thoughts on this.

I have ordered this card, in UK from Ebuyer, 4 week wait and eagerly awaiting it, as it seems to be the fastest 1070 card available, plus it offers 5 years warranly, was gonna go with EVGA but after checking out the speeds on review had to get this one!!

I have had a Zotac GTX 460 since 2010, and I have never had any problems with it. It still runs modern games at low settings in 1080p (I play Overwatch all the time), so that's one answer for you.

I have the Zotac 1070 Amp, no issues at all, great cooling, looks great, pretty quiet. This is my 3rd Zotac over the years and they all have been flawless.

Hey, you have the non-extreme version with the two fans? How loud it is, how are the temps?

Thanks

Yes the 2 fans. Surprisingly quiet. Less so then my single fan GTX770. Temps stay pretty low even when pushed hard. I do have very good ventilation in my case as well (6 fans and water cooler on cpu) so my numbers could be lower then others. But all in all, i am very very pleased with the card.

Zotac really does make a fine engineered product, I've used them in the past, money well spent, I was going to go for X2 1080s, but tbh, X2 1070's should be more than adequate for 4k Gaming, I'm just waiting for the 4k Monitors to come down to a more realistic price.

I'm also looking everywhere for reviews of this and the regular amp! edition, the amp! is around $50 us dollars more expensive than the FE in my country, I'm getting tired of waiting for the strix, I think I might end up buying it tomorrow.

The ASUS card is available from Newegg:

In regards to the ZOTAC card, I haven't seen any reviews either but am very interested.

I've had about every brand card at some point and though Zotac is not a bad manufacturer, they do not have very good support. The ASUS model that was linked is excellent and even though EVGA is the top company with customer support, I've had great experiences with ASUS as well. Generally, the manufacturers you want are EVGA>ASUS>MSI>Gigabyte>all others.

i don't find that to be true. I have a g1 gtx 970 gamer edition and I have bought and built 3 other systems with other oced 970s so I could compare 2 of the 970 g1 gamers I bought managed to go up to 1522 and 1497 that alone is the small difference of 3-7 fps in some games but looking at other oced cards was higher. They couldn't even reach 1400s well and were 10-15 fps less at least. Hell it was the difference of the whitcher 3 having2 settings turned down to very high (Rest on ultra on the g1 970) to 4-5 settings turned down on other lower oced cards. To me that extra 20-140 hz makes all the difference when I'm paying the premium for a model gpu. That what I pay for, the luck to be taken mostly out of the equation and have a cherry picked gpu. IO find it reasonable to have a 40 uk pound increase for this.

a good example is gta 5 with my 970g1 I ouly have to turn down 2 settings in ultra to get a steady none moving 60fps.
Other cards ws like 45-57 until I turned down 4 settings in order to achieve 60fps, its that kind of fine tuning I th9ink of when I buy my card oced.

I'm looking at 1070s when prices fall and the choices so for for me is zotac apm extreme and g1 gamer gigabyte, but bias and knowledge falls on the g1 faver and why, well I know g1 cards use gauntlet which means they pick the best gpus that run the best oced for this g1 card, the zotac doesn't tell me they do so I'm guessing maybe not and cherry picked gpus means yourt getting the top end of those gpus, so a lot of the luck taken out., that's a game breaker for me. I hope the zotac card does cherry piuck the gpu but truthfully if they did it would be advertsised across the board. The other issue too is heat pipes as cooling is a big thing to me. Gigabits 2 coperpipes treatchm out into a massive copper plater that touches the gpu that's direct gpu contact and it works incredibly, ive yet to find out if zotece 6 pipes directly contact the gpu or and ram like gigabytes do as there are no reviews on you tube.

personally id rather have the zotac because its a little cheaper and well better looking fans wityh rgb lighting where as g1 puts orange stipes on its fan aray and they are not like the 970 metal, they are now plastic, both these things turn me off the g1 card.

I don't live in the US, that's the problem :/

Also, I've heard that Zotac's warranty is something like 5 years, that sounds epic.

Card is massive so had to remove a HDD cage but apart from that, absolutely no regrets with the 1070 amp! extreme. As was mentioned, it is a really cool and quiet card, also where I'm from, it is cheaper than the Strix. And, if you're vain like me and like pwetty LEDs definite bump. 5 year warranty is beastly as well. My previous build was Gigabyte based but a definite +1 to Zotac this round.

Yes Zotac GTX 1070 AMP Extreme best value for money in my country it is cheaper about $100 from ASUS or MSI in my country, best purchase for me this year, go for this card trust me.

I got mine yesterday from UK and have since run it through its paces a bit. Overall very pleased, it is fast, quiet, aesthetic ally pleasing. And it is definitely one of the fastest 1070's out there. Mine actually came stock clocked at 1987 MHz and that maxes out at 60 degrees when gaming for extended periods. It looks great and the fans are actually off most of the time. Although it is possible to manually turn the fans up to 100% manually and it sounds like it's gonna take off. One slight worry is that the card is MASSIVE. I was genuinely really surprised my the size but it gets great cooling which is a valid trade-off for me. Hope that helps.

Did you order it from Amazon by any chance?

That's my worry too, how high is the card from the motherboard?

My case allows 35.5cm length, 160mm of height and 4 pci bays of width.

My issue is the two 8 pin powers need at least 20mm of clearance to plug them in.

If you get a chance to measure it would be most appreciated.

yep, worried as well, my case is a s340 from nzxt and my psu is a cooler master v650 sm gold.

I've had four Zotacs in the past 4 years. Now I won't lie, one was DOA, but it was quickly replaced. They sent me a new one the same day I sent mine back to them. Now THAT's customer service.

I just ordered the 1070 AMP! Extreme and I cannot wait. It is replacing a Zotac 770.

I just did the exact same as you, replaced my Zotac 770 with a 1070 Amp.
The card is amazing. Running the new Doom on 1440p on everthing ultra getting 110-130 fps

I bought both the 1070 Zotac extreme and Hall of fame edition. HOF performed superb. Beautiful card and maxed out at 60 full gaming. Silent all the time even in gaming. When the extreme arrived I was expecting big things from it as I had a zotac 680 which was a beast.

Size wise it is massive! The cooler is huge and I counted 7 heat pipes as opposed to the HOFs 5

When I ran benches and games it was hitting 90c! Couldn't believe it due to the HUGE cooler and custom fans. Turns out the auto profile has the temp target and power at 100. The fans were hardly spinning up.

After fiddling with the fan profile I set target at 60 (which the hof was maintaining) and they still spun up rarely the just pulsed to maintain the target temp so they are efficient. This could be a bonus but I like a Co scantily cool card. My issue is after use age has eneded it just stays at that temp and cools passively. I just don't want my card sitting the at 60 for ages. The fans are noisier than the HOF by some margin, albeit both are very quiet cards. Even when manually fan set to 100 it seemed to cool slowly. Not sure why

Performance was marginally better with the Zotac as you would expect from higher clock and mem clock but 3fps in it.

My heart says the HOF. But my geek head says the Zotac, as I think it has the potential but I need to work more on the fans. also 5 year guarantee as opposed to 2 with the hof.

Any one else find the ice fan? Whatever they call it as a selling point weird?

Hope this has, so little info out there on both cards.
