Introduction

Zotac GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme Infinity is the company’s premium custom design rendition of NVIDIA’s third-fastest gaming GPU from the Blackwell generation. The AMP Extreme brand over the years signifies the highest state of tuning from Zotac, besides its most capable cooler and its best aesthetics. Infinity is the design philosophy of the RTX 50-series custom designs by Zotac, with a focus on well channeled airflow that picks up the most heat from the aluminium fin-stack heatsink, and pushes it out effectively from the airy cooler shroud design. The card also offers premium aesthetics from its 2-tone matte gold and black finish, and an RGB LED element. Zotac realizes that the latest crop of pillarless glasshouse cases draw the user’s attention to the tail-end of the card, and so special importance is given to making that side of the card and its top-edge more appealing.

The new GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is located in a gray area between the performance and enthusiast segments. The RTX 5080 is definitely enthusiast, the RTX 5070 Ti is a slightly different equation—the GPU isn’t explicitly marketed for 4K Ultra HD gaming, instead putting it in the rather broad 1440p segment that has GPUs priced $400 and above. With a starting price of $750, the RTX 5070 Ti is expected to be a lot more than just a 1440p-class GPU. The RTX 5070 Ti should provide plenty of performance for 4K Ultra HD at native resolution, if you know your way around game settings, or can use features such as DLSS. For those with 1440p, new use-cases are unlocked, such as 120 Hz, or even 175 Hz, taking advantage of features such as DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. DLAA + MFG for 1440p for high refresh-rate displays seems like the ideal use-case for the RTX 5070 Ti.

The RTX 5070 Ti is carved out from the same GB203 silicon powering the RTX 5080, but with 70 out of the 84 SM present on the silicon being enabled, besides 48 MB out of the 64 MB L2 cache present. This works out to 8,960 CUDA cores, 280 Tensor cores, 70 RT cores, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The memory sub-system is a massive upgrade over the older RTX 4070 Ti. The memory size has been increased to 16 GB, up from 12 GB; the memory bus to 256-bit wide, from 192-bit; and the memory speed is 28 Gbps over the 21 Gbps of the RTX 4070 Ti, resulting in 896 GB/s, or a whopping 77% increase in memory bandwidth over its predecessor. The GPU needs this to run its memory-sensitive AI models.

The Infinity board design from Zotac draws its name from an infinity reflection element. It is equipped with ZOTAC’s IceStorm 3.0 Advanced Cooling system, which includes a trio of 100 mm BladeLink fans with double ball bearings, and easy cooler shroud disassembly that makes it easier to keep them clean. The cooler features a vapor chamber baseplate to draw heat from the GPU and memory. Also included is a metal die-cast 3D backplate, with an inner metal frame that counteracts PCB bending over time even without an external support stand. The card comes with a factory overclock of 2512 MHz boost compared to 2452 MHz reference. Other enthusiast-friendly features include dual-BIOS with a push-button switch. The Zotac GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme Infinity is impossible to find in the United States, in Europe it’s readily available for the equivalent of $965 excluding taxes, which is quite a premium over the NVIDIA MSRP of $750.
