That curved rear end with the hashed lighting looks very similar to the engines on the Orville. It really does look like a spaceship!
You sound like you want to phuck that gpu right in its rear I/O! You gonna DisplayPort all over its HDMI?
I own one, and thought the same thing. It was a selling point for me. 😆
@@tiberius1837 I was literally just watching The Orville before this video, couldn't help seeing it. I'll probably get a Zotac 40 card next year, it's the only aib design I like so far.
So we get this instead of season 4 lol.
That's what I thought! For closer than a Star Trek ship. Lol
Super impressive card by zotac, didn't expect such nice cooling performance from it, yet it's so silent. And I think it's the best looking 40 series card, the smooth edges and the fans too looks very elegant.
💯
I think they need to start working on power consumption, gpu performance today is good enough for 4k 120fps. Nvidia needs to learn the environmental impact of energy. Also developers of PC games, for the love of G-O-D, optimize their games.
@@fynkozari9271 do you know Steve?
@@fynkozari9271 what do you mean? 40 series can deliver the same performance as 30 series at lower power consumption.
40 series card has a very impressive cooling perfomance dư to its size. So big. A good exchange
Okay, you know what, it would be amazing to see you build a fully modded build around that card, Jay. Like a very themed, focused build. Like the Star Wars ones you've made. That'd be dope.
I never ONCE seen a pc builder use one, and only seen them in pre-built K-Mart garbage PC's. Do not waste you money, get a real brand name like asus, msi, or gigabyte ... do buy b/c Jay is being paid to shill this crap. Jay has NEVER built a PC with this brand of video card before, & he'd lose HALF his followers if he did.
@@112Famine Bro what??? delusional or misinformed..
@@Sluka. he took some mushrooms
@@Sluka. I made a post to try and help people from buying a garbage GPU, so you attack me? Damn that speaks volumes about where you're coming from. Did your feels get hurt because you bought the wrong card?
@@112Faminehow is zotac garbage????
Not only did Zotac design the sexiest looking shroud and backplate, but their engineers have really been working overtime. Zotac actually created a truly ducted fan tip shroud that fits snugly around the fan tips and extends back deeply to the fins like a mini jet engine that should generate incredible air pressure for cooling. THE PRICE OF THE CARD STILL SUCKS TOO MUCH TO EVER PAY THAT MUCH!!
is it true that the backplate is made of plastic and not of metal?
Strix 4080/4090 is several leagues above this (in looks), so is SUPRIM X
@@goochipoochie the strix looks like shit, this one can’t talk either, it’s a literal pad
@@StickyKeys187 it's metal.
@@goochipoochie eww how is a plain rectangle-shaped gpu with some colors on it looks better than this? thats like saying a box-shaped car is better looking than mclaren/bugatti XD
I just got the ZOTAC trinity non-OC 4090. It has performed better than the 4090 FE I had in every category. Very impressed with Zotac. It is my first product from them.
do you still stick by this? I'm expecting mine to arrive next week (exact same card)
@@itsk0mma Yes. The only downside to the card is the noise that the fans make, it's kind of a low growl sound. Bothered me, didn't bother my wife. So just doemds on that. Other than that, card is amazing.
@@bdifferentb how much fan speed is it running at to be noticeable?
@@itsk0mma it's not effected by speed. It's the motor sound. It probably won't bother you, just thought I'd mention it. I'm super super weird about noises. Which is one huge plus for this card compared to others, almost no coil whine at all. It's an awesome card bro. I've had several different ones Asus( the wost card, crazy loud coil whine), MSI liquid(also very loud coil whine) This card and FE almost no coil whine. Other than the FE, this was the best easily.
@@bdifferentb thank you for clarifying, I notice a horrible coil whine from my asus strix 1080ti when pushing it in some games, so I think I might know what you mean, we'll see how it does, I'm kinda sensitive to noise, but it depends on the noise if you understand what I'm trying to say.
Due to its size and price, I would rather pay 200 more and get a 4090. I think a lot of people feel the same, as once a week you can easily get a 4080 near me, but cant find a 4090. I am going to wait and see the benchmarks from team red.
Yes, i have this Zotac AiRO card but the 4090 version.👍🏻
Looks sick on my build.
No, the 4080 is objectively the worst cost/benefit you can get right now, outside of ridiculously overpriced 3090's and what not, you did a bad purchase, accept it
@D dont worry new amd card has improved retracing performance
@D dont worry new amd card has improved retracing performance
Bahaha, good luck with that dream. 2k for 4090 unless you get the FE lottery. Holiday season is on.
And since when is 4090 only 200 more
Nice to see card makers putting some design effort into the card. Looks good
@Syrious_ Kash have you been out in the real world. Looks are all that matters lol.
@Syrious_ Kash Tell that to manufacturers who keeps adding RGB to pretty much everything and adding $300+++ more. 🤣
yes but the power connector is legit in the middle of the card, what the hell?
ruins the whole build
@@uwva4640 Not if you do like I did: Get the Lian-Li Strimer GPU cable, plug the nvidia adapter into the gpu, use regular power cables to connect to the adapter, then zip tie the bundle to the back of the strimer, where the main cables are, and run the strimer up to the gpu, and tuck the not needed 8-pin plugs into the gap between the cooler and PCB, so it LOOKS like it's plugged in.
That way, you get all the RGB goodness, and no messy power splitting nonsense.
To me, this card looks like it belongs in The Orville! Beautiful design.
The answer to the question how the Orville would look as a graphics card.
it's posts like this that show how Star Trek is dead. People have moved on to the show that actually still carries the torch
@@marcogenovesi8570 Star Trek isn't dead lol. im a huge fan :) I do love The Orville also :)
I already thought it was one of the best looking cards when the first AIB cards were appearing in media, now I think it is even better looking. Normally don't care too much about RGB but on this one it actually makes an already good looking card look even better.
Man, that card looks so elegant! Love that RGB implementation looks SUPER futuristic!
I get such Star Citizen vibes from it, reminds me specifically of the 300i and 100i (if you're not familiar with the game just google: Origin 100i / Origin 300i and go to images, you'll see them)
More like a cruise ship then a space ship
A space cruise ship
A cruise space ship
About as big as a cruise ship…. 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Funny you say that. Pre covid 2 tickets on a 5 day cruise was about the price of this card.
This comment deserves ALL the likes because it's ACCURATE lol
320 watts x140% = 448 watts which aligns with the 450w rating of the 3x8pin. That's why the slider goes up to 140% (also there's an extra 75 watts available from the board slot as well.)
The card looks gorgeous. Even the lighting is great. And the booting effect. Those are nice attention to detail. The little things.
@@Dominian1 wrong
@@Dominian1 stop spreading misinformation
@@Dominian1 what did they remove, that red boot up Light? I honestly thought that was kinda weird anyway. is it still the same blue/teal default lighting?
I bought this card recently, I absolutely love this Zotac 4080 card. It's a great performer. huge upgrade over my 3080.
do you recommend getting rtx 4070 ti zotac or msi ? bcs i am planning to get soon?
@@youknowwhoiam1412 same question man. I'm confused between zotac ans Asus tuf rtx4070ti...
_We're moving a few steps back to the past when..._
_...GIANT GPUs are bigger than your mini pc rig_ lol
i must honestly say, i very rarely skip your embedded commercials and find them highly entertaining. props to you guys for implementing a creative & engaging twist on the less-enjoyable aspect of the youtube platform (a man's gotta eat, right!)
i look forward to the ifixit ones lol
I think the trick is to keep making new ones that are fun and funny. The more people notice repetition the less fun and funny it becomes.
This one was especially over-th-top.
Not related but I would love to see a video showing how different monitor setups, monitor size, number of displays, ultra wide vs two monitors effect gpu load 👍
This!
Display count doesn’t affect performance at all. Only video playback, and rendering effects GPU load.
Plus 1 on this, I currently run 3 monitors (1440p) and would be curious if I disconnected two of them when gaming if it would be "faster" or affect anything.
@@suppressed_viii the reason why I am asking in the first place, he said when he was doing the last ultra wide review one untra wide was less load on the gpu then running a duel monitor setup. Also I would be interested in seeing how monitors of the same resolution and refresh rate change gpu load as they change in size.
I'm glad someone is doing a review of Zotac in a positive light. I remember for the longest time the majority of people I interacted with would shit on Zotac (especially the gtx 10 series) for being cheap or under-engineered. Despite the hate they normally get, my 1080ti (I had the AMP! edition, non-extreme) was able to boost up to the hard limit of 2.1ghz that all 1080tis had and never reached more than 89-90c without any modification. I'll admit I got lucky, though, with the 6700k that I had it paired with, since I got a binned processor (4.6ghz stable OC before delidding and liquid metal application). Best gaming rig I ever owned, but I digress. Point being, Zotac gets a lot of unnecessary hate, so this video was refreshing to see.
Just like other manufacturers get overrated- I have Asus kit and wonder if it was actually worth the premium
@@roosterbooster6238 they usually are, but as with all things, I'd say don't just listen to others and do your own research, too, doing brand comparisons, checking for recalls, etc. when shopping for things like that.
zotac are garbage, worse graphic card you could waste your money on, get a asus, msi, gigabyte, a real brand name when spending real money. all this is is a polished turd.
@@112Famine keep hating, blindly.
They've been fine for me I've had a 1660Ti and NOW a 3070Ti right from Zotac !!!
have the same card, first Zotac card and build quality seems pretty good
It instantly reminded me of the Union ships from The Orville, they all seem to have that curved backend look
Yes, exactly that!
but only on looks is zero reason to buy the worse 4000 series card maker's polished turd.
Man, this card is really pretty. It's the first time I've seen it on, and the lighting is amazing, the right side of the card looks exactly like the back of the Orville spaceship.
I thought that exact same thing!
Exactly what I was thinking! 😄
Happy Arbor Day.
I am honestly waiting till April when I get my bonus before pulling a trigger on a new GPU. I am still very happy with my 6600xt and have no reason to change. A very cool card though. I used to run a Zotac 1070ti, but I always found the thermals middling. Glad to see the improvements over the years
honestly, I wouldn't even change it so soon, especially considering FSR will feature frame generation so even less reason to do so
I just got that card as my first GPU just built my first gaming pc during the summer before I quit my job, currently looking for a new so i'm going to wait until I find one and upgrade to a 4080 instead.
@@MalikATL honestly, I wouldn’t buy the 4080. It's just a bad deal compared to the 4090 and the 7900xtx
seeing the pictures online i wasn't really sure if i liked this design but seeing your video i absolutely love it.
I love the look of the Zotac cards.. Everyone says they suck but they seem decent and look incredible!
They seem to be the cards people get when everything else is out of stock, but when they get them they are surprised how good they are
@@jayb2705 exactlly what i did. I got the 4090 version and its a beast. But if you try to overclock it and u are using the fans at around 60 to 80% they do produce alot of sound. But if ure not overcloking they never go above 60 degrese in any game on full load. Kinda insane
The zotac apm extreme 2000 series (def the 2070) blew everything else out of the water. They had the best stock mem speeds. I'm not sure how much of a difference there is in today's card to card comparison, but they were top notch. I think there is a lack of name recognition.
This is defenetly my favourite card design out of them all
This is definitely one of my favorite looking GPUs
Price to performance is not good looking though
@@deagle7602 bruh are u for real? He's just saying the GPU is aesthetically pleasing for him. what is the point of this reply? There are a bunch of other comments highlighting the price; please bring ur reply there.
I got this one in 4090 flavor on launch day, I LOVE THE STARSHIP DESIGN. Way to go Zotac for thinking outside of the box, not like the STRIX BRICK!!!
Strix Brick that cost $50 less than a MSRP 4090 lol Asus really has to push up the price to make any amount of money on those cards.
@@Killswitch1411 Youre the first person in the entire internet that I have found wanting an increase in GPU price.
@@fynkozari9271 I think you're the first person to make a assumption.. Oh wait you're not. But you are the first in this comment section who doesn't understand how a company makes money, even more so when you are a Partner with Nvidia if you can even call it a partnership.. Nvidia see them more as a way to ship their cards and use them as a distributor and they don't really play fair with them and hurts AIBs bottom line, it makes them have to really increase their prices.. See Nvidia sets the prices of their own cards undercutting the AIBs, so how are they even able to make money with such a partnership? Clearly you were the only one who didn't look into what EVGA went through
I really like this new design of the graphics card. Very esthetically pleasing setting it apart from all the blockiness of other cards.
Man, I am sorry but I hate round cards like this!
Just got the 4090 version at MicroCenter. Upgraded from a 3090 Gaming Trio X. I was concerned about the width (HYTE Y60 case) but it fit perfectly, with enough room for airflow. Some versions barely have room between the fans and the glass. The card itself looks great however, in a Y60 case, the curves make it look out of place since the rest of the case is straight/angular. For a regular case where the front of the card is not on display, it wouldn’t matter. The RGB accents look really nice and the warranty seems solid. The packaging DOES look SUPER premium. Two thumbs up! 🤣
I just got the 4090 yesterday and everybody says it looks like a maxi pad lol. I agree on the space ship look though. Definitely prefer it to the super boxy designs of the other cards this gen.
Also, the 4090 amp extreme airo hit's 3 GHz really easily. Pretty crazy.
You’ve ruined the card for me. I can’t un-see it now 😂😭
@@daveaitken92 OMG, me neither!
does your logo and the back light up like in the video? My 4080 doesnt like it does in the video. I only have The zotac logo glowing
@@xDawhite yes it does, but it's the 4090 AMP Extreme
I really want to do a Star Trek theme (TNG/DS9/Voy Era) on my next build, the curves on the card really remind me of the enterprise D, the blue lighting is perfect, even the pearlescent paint kind of looks like the hull of voyager. I was thinking of putting a gif of the warp core running on one of those little screens AIOs have now. Anyone know Ram that would suit, also trying to figure out a perfect case too.
I feel like the modern Corsair Dominator in silver would be most on them.
Looks more like the Orville.
maybe some T-Force "Vulcan" c:
After having bad experience after bad experience with zotac I decided that they're not worth the trouble of dealing with.
Glad to see the quality going up though maybe they can work on their RMA and customer service next.
12:56 editor you made me giggle, save that for anytime talks about fan noises lololol
I've had a ZBOX Magnus, and a Zotac 3090 in one of my rigs for a while, very impressed with their products, and I LOVE the look of these latest gen cards. I'd love to see a star trek themed build around this card... LOVE to see it!
I installed the 450 W Bios my trinity and yeah it's def voltage limited. I came from the FE cards. I would have never bought a Zotac because of their 30 series build quality but they've really stepped it up. It feels more solid than my 3090 STRIX too.
The trinity reached 3Ghz and went to 370 Watts at this point I'm voltage limited. Not disappointed in this card at all.
Can't you unlock core voltage in MSI Afterburner and increase by 100?
@@EJ-en5xl Yes but the limit is still 1.1V. It's still what's holding the card back.
@@Madblaster6 good to know but Jay never gave it that extra .1 volts to try to get a 3ghz stable oc. So the card is voltage limited just like just like every other 4080. I may buy it
Is there a notable difference between the AIRO and Trinity models? Also, how is the coil whine with Zotac cards? I’ve heard some horror stories with the ASUS TUF and STRIX models.
Aesthetics = 10
Performance = 10
Pricing = 1
After EVGA , i'd say the best card brand is zotac. my Zotac Geforce 1070 AMP edition (reccently retired) ran like a damn champ for 5 years. still works , only reason i didn't drop it in my mom's pc yet is her 450 watt psu doesn't have 2 pci-e cables. (and the 1070 recomends a 500-550 watt psu).
with EVGA having left the market if i get another nvidia card in the future it'll be a Zotac one. currently my plans are basically my enxt build is gonna be AMD.
EDIT:
ice storm refers to their proprietery cooler design , fire storm is refering to their software suite that comes with the card (it's basically their version of MSI afterburner. it controls the fans , the clock settings ect ect. though ti laike hardware monitoring , or aleast it did back in teh 1070 .
I got a Zotac 4090 OC and im very happy with it.
The wee whoooooo at 12:49 , got me goood ROFL.
same
I don't think the 4080 price is the problem, it's the whole gpu market that is still too high. You can't get a 4090 for msrp right now and the 3090/ti are both more expensive than the 4080. Even 3080ti prices seem extremely high right now, almost as much as a 4080. Until the new amd cards release the 4080 isn't looking so bad and I can absolutely see why people are buying it. Also this zotac card looks amazing, I don't care for most rgb but when tastefully done like this it looks great.
Indeed a rather good all around looking card compared to some over the top/weird/cheap plastic designs this gen.
Many of them would be fine on a 200$ card while this is unique and looks good even at this price point. In general looks are fine on Zotac for a while now. What they can have issues with is lighter cooling solutions. Looking at you, cheaper radiators on Twin edge 3060-3070s with server level fan noise. You have to save somewhere, right?
zxotac makes low grade video cards, never waste your money on them, btw I do believe the comments here are over come with bots pushing this item, & all repeating Jays talking points, guess zotac gave him talking points to cover when they where paying him to shill this polished turd.
When the 4090's released and were out for a couple of weeks it was the Zotac models that I was looking to buy. All of the other 4090 cards were bricks with designs glued onto them. Zotac IMO took the brick, laid it on a design bench, rubbed their chins for a moment or two and said give it sexy curves. Upon doing that when they were finished they popped out the 4090 variant of the card you were testing. Out of all of the the other clean and straight designs it is the MSI Suprim that I like the best. But out of all designs as a total I like the Zotac design over everything ese. :)
yeah I dont know how all the other manufacturers managed to make their 40 series cards look so bad. At least zotac's design is nice.
@@megapet777 Ya. It's like ASUS was the one to start the trend and everyone else said "Lets just do what ASUS is doing".
@@Slane583 yep
The Gigabyte 4080 Aero looks great tho.
@@himangshumahanta5398 Yes it does. Even if it's not as curvy as the Zotac it still has some nice rounded corners. Plus it is white and silver which helps with its' clean appearance. The other cards are nice but they're just so square looking even with the aesthetics the AIB's gave them.
I built my PC with a 3070ti from Zotac last year. I think the newer gens of Zotac GPUs are the best looking ones out there
1:38 "it's got a go handle"
Use this for your kids lunchbox at school, he will get popular lol
Very pretty card, would look great in one of the abstract lianli cases with all of the nice curves
When I saw the first reveal/leak of most of the AIB variants, this one caught my eye the most. Instantly reminded me of the Orville. This one is probably the 40 series card I get. Most cards have to many angles, lines, etc. EVGA seemed to be the only one doing curves.
4070 got delayed to January 2023. 250 watt earth killer.
was hoping i wasnt the only one.. totally looks like the orville.
yeah for the 30 series i was totally in love with the asus rog strix designs and paid almost no attention to zotac cards, but for the 40 series the asus rog strix designs disappointed me and somehow zotac claimed the spot. their cards just look so sexy this series
Zotac rly surprised me with the design of their GPUs this year
10:36 , Jay you need to turn it into a tik tok it got me laughing hard : bewou bwep, blup blup.
Installed my zotac amp extreme airo taking the place of a 3080ti, almost a week ago and I couldnt be happier.
i love the zotac 40 series design, i have a 4090 myself and it does look cool personally, dont see why some people hate on zotac tho. nice review.
I won't lie, I just got done finishing a $5200 build over two years with the final piece being a 3080 I bought second-hand. I don't foresee myself buying any new parts for quite some time, several years at least with the way transistor counts are progressing every so often. I used to build a new rig every other year and now I just don't see the point in spending that much money for fewer and fewer gains, but I digress. I'm happy with what I have so far. 🥰🥰
How much did you get the 3080 for
$5200 build and $699 GPU?
jeez what other components did you get? there's a long way to 5200.
I'm including everything, the desk, the monitors, the mic, the speakers, peripherals, and I've had to replace several parts along the way. Started with a 1600 and now I'm using a 5900x, there were 3 CPUs in this build over the two years. Also the 3080 was $500.
Congrats, my final piece 2 years ago was supposed to be the 3090, mining apocalypse later, it turned out to be a 4090
I bought that same exact card and I should get it next week. Thanks for taking a look at it. Yes the 4080 overall is expensive but this card did not have a big markup over the 4080 FE card compared to some of the other AIB's and I am coming from a 2060, so for me it will be a huge jump in graphics performance.
im still on the 2070 super. waiting just one more year to upgrade. Im jealous man!
i love this look the whole futuristic spaceship design is dope.
Jay... I think what you were trying to say is in order for the smaller fans to have the same effectiveness as the larger fans, they have to spin faster. Hence, the smaller fans would be louder than the larger fans.
Thank you! I thought it looked great, as a matter of fact, it's the only one I wanted when the 4090's were released, so I was fortunate enough to snag a 4090 Zotac Trinity. It is very nice, and well built.. .cool and quiet, I usually hover around 60 degrees celsius while maxed out gaming seen it get to 65 at the max. I imagine the 4080 should be the same or less. Idle temps are in the 30's. These things are massive, though, so an actual spaceship is a good comparison.
I really love that lighting design. I normally don't care for RGBs that much because it doesn't make the card faster, just more expensive. But this looks really cool! I just hope they do something similar for AMD cards (although maybe in red), because I sure as hell won't be buying an Nvidia card anytime soon.
zotac knocked it out of the park with the aesthetics of this 4080
Furniture grade PVC pipe works great for card support
I just got this gpu on Amazon waiting for it to come in the mail. Feels good upgrading from a 1070. Now I can finally finish my new build
Why is the 4080 trash? I have it and its a beast imo😍
I have the 4090 version of this card, Its a beast
Totally agree, best looking card I have ever seen IMO and so fast
@@ericpisch2732 yep. Definitely the best looking card I've seen in a long time
Did like the look of these Zotac cards.. they also seem to be a bit cheaper than the other main brands as well.
"Ice storm" and "Fire storm" still makes more sense then "dark obelisk," "brutal by nature" and "ultimate dark power."
8:02 The lighting on the back reminds me of the spaceship Orville.
that is a sexy design ... I don't remember the last time I looked at a card and was just blown away by the form of it
I think actually that the last time I had that same " wow " , was 10 years ago with the Asus cards running the heatpipes out like a motorcycle exhaust ... made for great reflection of case lighting
For the cover image for this video at first glance I actually thought this was an S197 Mustang with exotic lighting applied
_The first thing that came to mind..._
_From the box cover was,_
_...A Porsche 911 Carrera Headlight!_ 😂
ok but that cinema screen of a monitor next to jay is wayy to hilarious xD
Great looking card! Its funny you mention a Star Citizen build because you said that about the Fractal Design Torrent and I've waited with anticipation for that. Hope you're able to put these two pieces together!
I never ONCE seen a pc builder use one, and only seen them in pre-built K-Mart garbage PC's. Do not waste you money, get a real brand name like asus, msi, or gigabyte ... do buy b/c Jay is being paid to shill this crap. Jay has NEVER built a PC with this brand of video card before, & he'd lose HALF his followers if he did.
'Power the win' LOL
The CUDA core density of the magnamometer wattage voltz = a surplus of 4080 takin' up space on shelves
That pitch shifted 'wee woo' got me spitting my coffee out. Well done Phil 👌🏽
Jay!! You need to use this GPU in a custom Fractal Torrent build! Would fit perfectly with a Hyper Drive/Warp Drive style build!!
1:10 I still love that transition so much. seamless perfection!
That start up effect gave me Knight Rider vibes. Was waiting to hear Kitt "I've come to collect you, Michael"
I have the 4090 Airo Amp Extreme and I said straight away, the end of the card looks like engines of the Orville! 😁
What's the monitor you use it looks sick!
I prefer a smaller screen on a table with J standing while talking about overclocking.
That World of Warships footage is doctored. You weren’t torped by a submarine or bombed into oblivion by the aircraft carrier lol.
I just bought mine today with the corsair sleeved cables, it looks so good! I move the cable over the card and towards the right side of it so it doesn't mask the RGB bar. That card is huge too! Make sure you got room for it. I have about 6cm between the edge of the card and the frame where my front fans are.
As GPU’s get bigger…why not just build them with a standard fan config frame / bolt pattern like case manufacturers do? Wouldn’t it be cool to have 2 or three of your favorite fans from Corsair or whoever to match the rest of your build?
i like how this card looks, id put it in an all black build with it as the only lighting showpiece
at 3:48 it lookes like the front grill of a 2014 Ford Mustang but then when it lights up it looks like the backside of the Orville either way its got a very clean aesthetic
I just installed mine upgraded from a 1660 TI to this exact one in white and it feels and looks amazing
Been rocking this exact GPU for a few days now. My ASRock Z790 mobo has a beta BIOS out to "better support the RTX 40 series GPU", whatever that means. This card is a beast. Have yet to really push it though. That coupled with my i9 13900k... good gaming ahead.
hey, i m curious how this card is doing with coil whine. Care to share you experience? thanks!
@@phynesse2000 So far this card is very quiet. Zero coil whine, at least none audible to my ears and I have some rather sensitive hearing. 😉
I don't care about the price. If Jay likes it I'll love it too. I'll definitely get it.
Its funny you say it looks like something you would find in Star Citizen as it is certainly priced as something you would find in Star Citizen.
Looks like Michael J. Fox's hover board in back to the future. LOL
If the adapter clicks before it is fully seated, and you have to keep pushing even when you think it is fully seated, you can't hardly call it a "user error" when adapters start to melt.
That startup effect sound effect Jay made was perfect
We get it Jay... you dont like it, but some people do. They like the flashy and the colors and the space model, not everythiung has to be square and colorless and without design. It's ok, be happy we got options.
I think jay should start a second ASMR channel called "Jay makes GPU fan noises"
Once I saw it lit up, a Halo themed build immediately came to mind!
Wife commented that it kinda looks like a sanitary pad and I just can't get that out of my head now. Side view on it looks great though, props to ZOTAC making it look so nice.
I spend nearly every waking moment at work, surviving. The only escape I have is the couple of hours I usually get each day to work with my pc setup, maintenance, hardware and software upgrades, tweaking and improving it, making the most out of what I've built. But my recources are limited. In the event that you have a surplus of new components, I hope you'll donate them to people in my same boat.
This 100% looks like it was inspired by "The Orville" the curvy design, the lighting, blue color and the fin at the back are a dead match!
i like how he says im not gonna do that 😂 , nice review jay thanks.
So far the Lian-li bracket seems best to me but then I do not have a 4xxx series to see how good it is for them but it attaches to the case via the motherboard using stand offs, this being more discrete and means any show case with no bottom is fine. Will it help with these huge cards? Idk but should be worth looking at. Better than having a stand.
I own the white Evo case and an Asus 4090.The bracket works great and is not visible from the front.
I always thought Zotac makes really beautiful cards design wise. This one is no exception.
I never ONCE seen a pc builder use one, and only seen them in pre-built K-Mart garbage PC's. Do not waste you money, get a real brand name like asus, msi, or gigabyte ... do buy b/c Jay is being paid to shill this crap. Jay has NEVER built a PC with this brand of video card before, & he'd lose HALF his followers if he did.
@@112Famine Is Zotac really that bad? the only card of them I owned is the GTX 980 AMP and its still working fine in my bro's PC. I own a current gen Radeon card, but good to know Zotac isn't the thing to look for in the future.. thx.
@@hircine92h zotac is the video card sold in big box stores pre built PCs that do not list the brand name of the video card maker on the outside of the box, knowing it would stop sales, also from their own web site a few months ago zotac was selling their own video cards at scalper prices, & people were still not buying them, while they were the only site that had them in stock. If you own one I wouldn't replace it, but I might think about under clocking it so it lasts if past its warranty. Oh, just reread what you posted, you have a very old card from them, maybe back then they made good stuff. card makers quality sometimes slip from one series to another, but zotac hasnt make a good card in a decade, plus if you look at the comments, there are a hell of a lot of "amazing" posts all saying good things about this card, I think they're all paid shills, or bots. I do not even think Gamers Nexus will even bother doing a tear down of any zotac video card, everyone knows they're sub par junk.
I was a Network Eng before I retired, if you want to know anything just reply to one of my posts & I'll try and help you with it involving PCs
@@112Famine yeah I guess ur right after all. I've just watched a video on GTX 1080Ti variants, and even though the Zotac one had the largest heatsink by far, it still was the worst in terms of cooling somehow because of flow design.
Great looking card ! had 2 Zotac cards previously - loved them.
They do great products

@@112FamineI have a zotac trinity 4080 OC and honestly it's a great card, temps are low, power draw is good honestly it's a great card, at least they are not cracking like gigabytes cards :D
