About ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5080 Solid Core 16GB
Built Like a Tank: Solid Core Design: The key differentiator for the ZOTAC GAMING RTX 5080 Solid Core is that it emphasises the rigidity of the structure and the durability of the components. The GPU comes with a die-cast aluminium front plate along with a wraparound back plate that holds the PCB in place, which helps prevent the critical areas of the circuit board from sagging. This kind of structure also serves as a heatsink, which helps to remove heat from areas like the memory and VRMs.
Blackwell Performance & GDDR7: Unleash the true potential of next-gen gaming with the cutting-edge Blackwell architecture from NVIDIA. The RTX 5080 Solid Core comes with a substantial 16GB of GDDR7 memory, which runs at a scorching 32 Gbps. This is a game-changer, allowing users to enjoy 4K gaming without a hitch, along with accelerated performance in 3D rendering and AI applications. The DLSS 4 feature ensures that you always enjoy the maximum FPS performance that comes with AI-rendered frames.
IceStorm 3.0 Cooling: The cooling process is managed with a more sophisticated cooling system named IceStorm 3.0 from ZOTAC. It comes with three powerful fans with unique curved blades to ensure maximum static pressure. The system blows air through a pack of dense aluminium fins. Precision-crafted composite heat pipes are in direct contact with the GPU, which helps to absorb heat away from it. The graphics card comes with a cooling feature named FREEZE Fan Stop. It turns off all fan functions when working with a graphics card.
