ZOTAC has always had a unique understanding of graphics card size. As long as the heat dissipation performance can meet the needs, the size can be made smaller and not bigger. This time, the RTX 4070 Ti launches the AMP AIRO version, which is shortened to 30 cm in length and thinner. Some only have 3.9 slots. Although the size is still too large, they are relatively small models among the RTX 40 series graphics cards, allowing players to have more choices in case selection.

ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AMP AIR Movie
The middle and high-end models of ZOTAC graphics cards mainly include three categories: ArcticStorm, AMP and Trinity. However, in the RTX 40 series, the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 in the AMP category only have high-performance AMP Extreme models, and this time the RTX 4070 Ti finally launched the AMP style, which has a compromise style in terms of performance and size to choose from.
In terms of graphics card size, the size of the RTX 4070 Ti AMP AIRO is only 30 cm, and the thickness is 2.9. Although the slot is still very thick, it is smaller than the huge RTX 40 series, and most of the cases are relatively friendly to install.
The core part of RTX 4070 Ti AMP AIRO has 60 SM units, 7680 CUDA cores, including 240 fourth-generation Tensor cores and 60 third-generation RT cores, and supports DLSS and dual NVENC encoders. The core clock part Overclocked at 2670 MHz, slightly lower than the AMP Extreme version.

game performance test
In the game testing section, select “Dianyu 2077”, “Watch Dogs: Free Legion”, “Far Cry 6”, “Forza: Horizon 5”, “Assassin’s Creed: Viking Age”, “Microsoft “Flight Simulator” and “Rainbow Six: Evacuation of Restricted Areas” were tested, and the test resolutions were 1440p and 2160p for players’ reference.
AAA masterpieces can perform at over 100 FPS on average at 1440p, but playing AAA masterpieces at 2160p is relatively difficult for the RTX 4070 Ti, and most of them can have an average of more than 60 FPS. Microsoft Flight Simulator only has about 50 frames.
→ AAA masterpiece game testing.
The light-chasing game part is also in the performance-hungry games, and it is difficult to achieve 2160p 60FPS. However, because the RTX 40 series supports DLSS 3, the frame rate of “Dian Yu Ren Ke 2077” can be greatly increased after DLSS 3 is enabled. Improvement, the performance of 85 frames can also be achieved under 2160p. After testing the other games, the average resolution of 2160p can also have an average of more than 80FPS, or even an average of more than 100 frames.

ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AMP AIRO 總結
ZOTAC launched the smaller performance model AMP ARIO on the RTX 4070 Ti. It is 30 cm long and 2.9 slots thick. Although the size of the radiator has been reduced, it still has a good heat dissipation performance in actual measurements. For those who want to upgrade the RTX 40 series Players who have a graphics card but not much space in the case can choose a model with good performance.
In terms of performance, the RTX 4070 Ti is undoubtedly a relatively suitable model for most players. It can just satisfy most AAA games with 60FPS in 4K resolution and 120FPS in 2K resolution. similar gaming experience.
