Introduction

ZOTAC GeForce RTX 4080 AMP Extreme AIRO is the company’s most premium air-cooled custom-design RTX 4080 “Ada” graphics card, which is debuting today alongside a large selection of graphics cards we’re reviewing for you. The RTX 4080 is designed to consolidate NVIDIA in the high-end segment, by offering a product that does many of the same things as the $1,600 RTX 4090—4K Ultra HD AAA gaming with ray tracing—at a lower price-point of $1,200 (NVIDIA starting MSRP), pushing the RTX 4090 to be an enthusiast product meant for overclockers climbing leaderboards. The ZOTAC AMP Extreme AIRO adds to this with a nifty factory-overclock, and a heavily noise-optimized cooling solution designed to maximize airflow and heat dissipation.

NVIDIA designed the GeForce RTX 4080 “Ada” with an intelligent set of manufacturing choices. It knows this SKU will push higher volumes than the RTX 4090, and too many AD102 dies will be spent carving its lower shader counts from, and so it innovated the new AD103 silicon that’s positioned halfway between the large AD102 and the AD104, on which the future 70-series products will be based. The RTX 4080 is endowed with 16 GB of memory, which is higher than those of the RTX 3080, of 10 GB and 12 GB, but over a narrower 256-bit wide memory bus (which means fewer numbers of memory chips per board). It compensated for the bandwidth shortfall with faster memory speeds of 22.4 Gbps, and larger 64 MB on-die caches.

The RTX 4080 is endowed with 9,728 CUDA cores, 304 Tensor cores, 76 RT cores, and 112 ROPs. The 16 GB memory interface is across a 256-bit wide memory bus. The GPU ticks at 2.50 GHz boost, which ZOTAC overclocked to 2.565 GHz, while leaving the memory untouched at 22.4 Gbps. The AMP Extreme AIRO features the same airy, aerodynamic custom cooler design as the RTX 4090 AMP Extreme, designed to maximize airflow to the large aluminium fin-stack heatsink. It also has a sleek, subtle execution of RGB illumination. ZOTAC is pricing the card at $1,400, a $200 premium over the NVIDIA baseline.
