One element common to all of the RTX cards we've reviewed is their incredible consistency in performance. From the basic to the ludicrous, from mid-range to wallet-emptying, the newest nVidia Turing GPU has a relentless ability to extract the maximum from every single clock cycle, and it takes an awful lot for a manufacturer to tweak it up to the point it really makes a difference. With the Zotac AMP Extreme it comes out of the box with a seriously meaty overclock and this is borne out in our graphs where it regularly found itself ahead of the RTX 2070 pack.

Zotac's GeForce RTX 2080 AMP Extreme almost looks like a technology demonstrator for what you can do if you want to build the most powerful RTX 2080 card. The company has revamped the PCB design and given the VRM circuitry some extra love.

In a world seeming overrun with RGB-everything, we are kind of glad Zotac chose to limit the bling here to just the Spectra enabled logo. While that’s a bit of a subjective opinion, it does make the Amp Extreme a bit of a ‘sleeper’ in comparison to many cards on the market that are all bark and no bite.

Those with smaller systems will probably appreciate the narrow card pending they can accommodate the 308mm length. The cooler itself works quite well and keeps the card chilly even when overclocked, and doesn’t have to try too hard so the fans never ramp up much to make noise.

A fantastically powerful graphics card, and the fastest version of the RTX 2080 Ti we’ve tested, beating the Founders Edition at every turn.

The ZOTAC Geforce RTX 2080 AMP Edition is highly charged under load and can compete with many partner cards and the reference, but the it is bit too high under load.

Looking at the OC results, the Zotac card delivered the highest GPU overclock we reached so far with 2145 MHz, which is a good deal higher than the other 2080 Tis we tested before.

As the factory overclocking is modest, the ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Ti AMP is only a bit faster than an RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition - but is still one of the fastest gaming graphics cards on the market today.
