Is it worth £539?

Zotac is well known for producing monster-sized graphics cards within its AMP! Extreme line up, but then it has also had success at the opposite end of the spectrum with its Mini series. The card we are looking at today is definitely Mini, measuring in at just 211mm long. It's an RTX 2070, too, with a factory overclocked core – so we are definitely still hoping for solid performance despite this card's diminutive nature. Have any trade-offs been made to get an RTX 2070 to this size? Let's find out.

Interestingly, Zotac has released two versions of its RTX 2070 Mini card – one ‘OC' model with a 1650MHz boost clock, and one reference-clocked model with a 1620MHz boost clock. The former retails for £539 while the latter is currently a fair bit cheaper at £459. We have the OC model in for review, so let's see how it stacks up against the competition.

As mentioned, this is the OC Mini we are taking a look at today, so it ships with a 1650MHz boost clock – just 30MHz faster than reference, this is probably the smallest factory overclock I have ever seen. Memory has been left at stock, though, meaning we are left with the default 14Gbps speed.
