Smaller size is easier to install! ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics Card Ti AMP AIRO

ZOTAC has always had a unique understanding of the size of a graphics card. As long as the heat dissipation performance can meet the needs, the size can be made smaller and not larger. This time, the RTX 4070 Ti launches the AMP AIRO version, which is shortened to 30 cm long and thinner. Some only have 3.9 slots. Although the size is still too large, they are relatively small models among RTX 40 series graphics cards, allowing gamers to have more choices when choosing a case.

ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AMP AIR Movie

The middle and high-end models of ZOTAC graphics cards mainly consist of three categories: ArcticStorm, AMP and Trinity. However, in the RTX 40 series, the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 only have high-performance Extreme AMP models in the AMP category, and this time the RTX 4070 Ti finally launched the AMP style, which has a compromise style of performance and size to choose from.

In terms of graphics card size, the size of the RTX 4070 Ti AMP AIRO is only 30 cm, and the thickness is 2.9 Although the slot is still very thick, it is smaller than the huge RTX 40 series, and most of the cases are relatively friendly to install.

The RTX 4070 Ti AMP AIRO core part has 60 SM units, 7680 CUDA cores, including 240 fourth-generation Tensor cores and 60 third-generation RT cores, and supports dual DLSS and NVENC encoders. slightly lower than the AMP Extreme version.

The light chase game part is also in the performance-hungry games, and it is difficult to achieve 2160p 60FPS. However, because the RTX 40 series supports DLSS 3, the frame rate of “Dian Yu Ren Ke 2077” can be greatly increased after enabling DLSS 3. Improvement, 85 frame performance can also be achieved under 2160p. After testing the other games, the average resolution of 2160p can also have an average of more than 80FPS, or even an average of more than 100 frames.
