It’s well packed in very strong but soft packaging, you shouldn’t have any damaged components if Zotac have anything to do with it.

You’ll get a minimum of bundled accessories with this card, surprising for a high-end purchase. Nvidia will probably bundle a game however, they usually have a promotion on at certain points of the year.

The Zotac GTX 980 Ti AMP! Edition in the flesh. A three fan, copper piped and aluminium cooling set up Zotac are calling IceStorm. All of this to cool a GPU with two slightly core clock settings.

The back plate is one of the nicer features, with vents and a “Push The Limit” logo. Take it or leave it, it’s very striking, the extra vents are welcome too. The base AMP! Edition supports 4xSLi, with the  AMP! Omega and the AMP! Extreme only offering 2xSLi.

Our biggest issue with this card is that it's not special enough. Sure a core and memory frequency increase are good as standard and the GTX 980 Ti core is excellent, but we think the only advantage in owning this card over the reference design is cooling, and therefore overclocking. You may get a good overclocking baseline out of this card due to the good cooling solution, and it will help with sound performance, but the Palit Super Jetstream GTX 980 Ti outperforms it on most tests.
