This review is from: Zotac AMP GeForce GTX 480 1536 MB Graphics Card 384-bit (756MHz/3800MHz) ZT-40102-10P (Personal Computers) amazing Card, if you want a gtx 480 i dont see any version to buy except this, i bought this after owning a gtx 480, the performance on stock clocks 700mhz isnt that much of a difference from my gtx 295 but when you oc this beast you find its real power
this is the best gtx 480 version because it runs very cool and you have lots of OC headroom to increase the performance have a 3 slot isnt that of a big issue though, i just wish the card is made with a better quality like evga do 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Zotac AMP GeForce GTX 480 1536 MB Graphics Card 384-bit (756MHz/3800MHz) ZT-40102-10P (Personal Computers) I wanted to revisit this post to be fair with this excellent card, below is my review rewritten to account for most recent experiences.
----------------------------------------------------- This card is great, excellent graphics very acceptable sound levels, a plus is that it already comes a bit overclocked but from my experience there is room for even more. The performance is awesome and running it with a Corei7 920 OCd to 3.2. On a HD monitor I am able to max out on graphics and the card load does not go to the top (usually peaks around 70%). Beware this will be different with newer games and higher res monitors. OLDER ISSUE ---> Fan speed fixed at 44%, my card runs hotter than it should, the "auto" fan speed does not work and fans remain at 44% until the card gets too hot and the whole system shuts down.--- REVIEWED ---> With the newest Nvidia Drivers fans worked fine and card temps are quite manageable.

This review is from: Zotac AMP GeForce GTX 480 1536 MB Graphics Card 384-bit (756MHz/3800MHz) ZT-40102-10P (Personal Computers) The Zotac Amp GTX 480 is one amazing card. First, the temps are insanely cooler compared to the temps on a stock GTX 480. While running Furmark, I reached only 68c degrees using xtreme burn-in mode. The funny part is that the fan speeds were only running at 44%. As a result of the lower fan speeds, the card remained very quiet. I could not perceive the noise difference between idle and load. When I'm just gaming the temps reach 55-60c degrees. In idle mode the card sits at 34 degrees. This is a very cool running card, and by far the quietest card I ever owned. Just make sure you have good air flow in your case, because this card exhausts all the heat into the case. If you are in the market for a GTX 480, I would recommend the Zotac Amp edition. You get a slightly overclocked card and a way better cooling solution. |
