Introduction

Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AMP Extreme Airo is the company’s fastest model based on the most affordable GeForce RTX 40-series graphics card so far. The AMP Extreme denotes Zotac’s highest state of tuning, its highest factory overclocked speeds for the RTX 4070 Ti; while Airo is the company’s latest generation of cooling solutions that debuted with these Ada Lovelace GPUs. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is designed to dominate the performance segment, with a starting price of $800. It offers you the full feature-set introduced with this generation, including DLSS 3 Frame Generation. It targets maxed out gaming with ray tracing enabled at 1440p, although it’s reasonably capable of 4K Ultra HD gaming at close to max settings. You can also take advantage of some of the higher quality presets of DLSS in supported games, if needed.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is based on the 5 nm AD104 silicon, NVIDIA’s third largest die based on the “Ada Lovelace” graphics architecture. The SKU was originally meant to be called the RTX 4080 12 GB and launched much earlier in 2022, but was hit by controversy surrounding its name, as it was a vastly different product from the RTX 4080 16 GB, besides the memory size. It was finally launched in January 2023 under a new name and a lower starting price.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti uses all units physically present on the AD104 silicon—that’s 7,680 CUDA cores across 60 SM, 240 Tensor cores, 60 RT cores, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The card is endowed with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, but across a narrow 192-bit wide memory bus—one of the key reasons for the controversy behind the SKU’s former name. Even at a blistering GDDR6 speed of 21 Gbps, the memory only yields 504 GB/s of bandwidth, which is much lower than the 608 GB/s the RTX 3070 Ti churns out. However, NVIDIA improved the memory sub-system at an architecture-level with these GPUs, with much larger on-die caches, so they aren’t as memory bandwidth-sensitive as “Ampere.”

The Airo design language behind the Ice Storm 2.0 series of cooling solutions by Zotac is a work of art—with a fluidic design language for the cooler shroud and backplate designed to maximize airflow, and exposure of the massive heatsink underneath, without coming across as too minimal. There’s plenty of RGB lighting to be had in the form of the Spectra 2.0 lighting kit, with a large diffuser that runs along the length of the card, and a few bits on the backplate. The card puts out a 3-pin ARGB header, so you can sync the rest of your lighting with it. The AMP Extreme Airo comes with a factory-overclocked speed of up to 2700 MHz boost (compared to 2520 MHz reference). The memory is left untouched at 21 Gbps. Zotac is pricing the card at $880, a 10% premium over the NVIDIA baseline price.
