Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AMP Edition (11GB GDDR5X) Review

Test Rig

For our tests, we used a completely new test rig which comprises of an Asus Maximus IX Hero motherboard, along with an Intel Core i5-7600K at default clock speed of 3.8GHz, as well as 16GB of Crucial Ballistix  DDR4-3000 ram in dual channel mode.

All tests were conducted at default clock speeds at a resolution of 1920×1080. High or Ultra settings enabled.

You can use the included FireStorm software to overclock and tweak your GTX 1080 Ti. Spectra lighting can also be adjusted here too.

Idle Temperatures

Before we start, I want to inform our readers that all settings on the card were left at default and untouched. Incidentally, if temperatures get to high, users can use the included FireStorm software to adjust the fan speeds. For the purpose of our temperature tests, we did not use any software to increase the fan speed.

The idle temperatures of the GTX 1080 Ti was recorded at 42 degrees Celsius, which was expected and nothing out of the ordinary.

 

Load Temperatures 

Average load temperatures on the other hand was at an extremely high 72 degrees Celsius … peaking at a scary 81 degrees Celsius. In fact, during this high temperature I could smell a slight heat induced odor from the card. Although the card is designed to handle the high temperatures, it’s not something you would really want.
