Considering Zotac's bundled OC profile is already fairly ambitious, I could not squeeze that much more out of the AMP Extreme.
So, I set the temperature and power sliders to their maximum values, added +185MHz to the GPU core (which works out as +35 on top of Zotac's OC profile), +450MHz to the memory and set fan speed to 100%.
This actually brought tangible gains – in-game frequency went from its stock levels of 1860-1880MHz to around the 2050-2088MHz level. Accordingly, the frame rates rose a fair bit, bringing the AMP Extreme right up to GTX 1080-levels of performance.
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…
