ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme INFINITY Review

ZOTAC Offers Advanced Cooling and Unique Infinity Mirror Design

NVIDIA has lifted the embargo on non-MSRP cards, and today’s ZOTAC is the company’s highest-end RTX 5070 Ti offering. Presented for your inspection in this review is the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme INFINITY, a 3.5-slot card that is as physically imposing as the name might indicate. The factory overclock is 60 MHz, taking the frequency up to 2512 MHz, and ZOTAC offers their own FIRESTORM software utility for further performance tweaking.

The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme INFINITY offers a completely revamped gaming experience with a whole new approach to Graphics Card design, featuring NVIDIA’s cutting-edge Blackwell architecture and features such as DLSS 4. With an elegant design punctuated by a gorgeous infinity mirror in the front, a reinforced mid-frame, and a vapor chamber larger than its predecessor, the AMP Extreme INFINITY gives you infinite possibilities for gaming, or applications beyond.

Feature Highlights:

• Powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture and DLSS 4
• The ultimate ZOTAC GAMING GPU
• Infinity Mirror Design
• IceStorm 3.0 Advanced Cooling

Taking a Look at the Extreme INFINITY Card

The Extreme INFINITY card from ZOTAC is a large 3.5-slot design measuring 332.1 x 137.5 x 69.6 mm (13.1 x 5.4 x 2.7 inches). It offers a 60 MHz factory overclock which raises the GPU frequency from the default 2452 GHz to 2512 GHz. You can read the full specs from ZOTAC by following this link.

Performance Testing

First, a brief note on test methodology. Each of the charts to follow contain scores or FPS representing the average of three identical runs for each card. As usual for all testing, outliers were tossed and testing was resumed after verifying accuracy. It is normal to see a small variance between test runs, but large swings can point to background process interference, or improper resolution scaling settings, inadequate cooldown between tests, or any number of other factors. In the end, the results published here are as accurate as possible, and should be easily reproduced by any test setup identical to the one employed here.

Let’s begin with some 3DMark results.

The gains here are consistent, but very small. Compared to the card we reviewed yesterday the advantage in 3DMark testing ranges from less than 1% to just over 2.5%.

Perhaps we will see some more impressive gains in the game tests?

Slightly better here, with scores up between 1.5% and just over 4%. Still, to fully appreciate what this massive ZOTAC card can do we will need to increase the power limit and push clocks as high as they will go. Sadly, that was beyond the scope of this first look review.

Finally we will take a quick look at power draw:

The ASUS PRIME version of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti we tested previously averaged almost exactly 300 watts during the Speed Way test run, and under the same conditions this ZOTAC Extreme INFINITY card averaged…almost exactly 300 watts.

Out of the box we saw little difference in overall performance, and nearly identical power draw, compared to the stock ASUS card tested previously. This ZOTAC card is clearly built for overclocking, so we will have to revisit this in an upcoming article and see how much more can be gained from a high-end RTX 5070 Ti like this.

Final Thoughts

This card is so large, so heavy, and so clearly well built, that it almost seems comical that it houses a mere RTX 5070 Ti GPU within. This could easily be an RTX 5090, and even then I feel like the cooler would be overkill (in the best possible way, of course).

An area I didn’t get to above was thermals/noise. This card runs extremely cool and the fans barely have to spin up, but I need a warmer environment than my frigid basement to give accurate readings.

Bottom line, the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Extreme INFINITY is an absolutely massive card that extracts a bit more performance out of NVIDIA’s latest GPU out of the box, and does so while making very little noise and barely heating up. I didn’t have a chance to overclock it yet, but this design begs for some serious manual tweaking. Stay tuned.
