We first measure system-wide power draw from the wall while the card is sat idling at the Windows 10 desktop for 5 minutes. Gaming power draw 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’ power draws are recorded.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the Zotac AMP Extreme 1070 Ti draws a fair bit of power – after all, the applied overclocking settings did set the power target to 140%, the maximum value. In the above chart, you can see the card was actually drawing similar amounts of power to a GTX 1080 Ti.
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…
