We first measure GPU temperature while the card is sat idling at the Windows 10 desktop for 5 minutes. Gaming GPU temperature is recorded by running the Deus Ex benchmark at 4K. As a maximum stress test, Fire Strike Ultra Stress Test is run 5 consecutive times and the cards’ GPU temperature levels are recorded.
Ambient room temperature was held at around 23°C.
Also unsurprisingly, the AMP Extreme's thermals are excellent – I was expecting some impressive results given the card does have a massive heatsink and triple-fan cooling configuration. These results came with the power target set to 140%, too, which only makes the result even more impressive.
Moving onto our thermal imaging, the results are stellar here. I could not find a spot hotter than 52C on the rear of the card, while 47.9C was the peak temperature on the side of the card. This is clearly a well-engineered card, to say the least.
I had a 980 ti amp omega that looked pretty similar. I could OC it a lot past the pre oc. If zotac had be able to bin these, if they didnt already on the sly, i wonder if the oc would have been improved.
The color and writting on mine was a bit much so I stuck it in a Ryzen 1500x system and sold it to a senior citizen gamer of all ppl.
It would have been nice to see it compared against some previous generation cards to see if it’s worth an upgrade or not- I use a 980Ti for example, maybe also throw in a 980 to get an actual idea if it’s a big step up…
