  • RTX 3080 Ti AMP Holo

Meanwhile, the AMP Extreme Holo variants utilise a new cooler in addition to the Holoback design, in order to boost performance.  

The ‘Trinity’ variants feature a minimalist design that focuses on functionality. A reinforced metal backplate ‘emphasises the RGB lighting infused into the carved paths adding additional detail and airflow’.

The main features of the RTX 3080 Ti and the RTX 3070 Ti can be summarised as:

Main Features:

  • 12GB / 8GB (3080 Ti / 3070 Ti) GDDR6X Memory

Cooling

When it comes to cooling, the RTX 3080 Ti employs a 3-slot thick aluminium heatsink sectioned in up to 3 groups to fully enfold the copper heatpipes for better heat dissipation. The heatpipe layout is designed to have over 72% more direct contact over the GPU (as compared to the previous generation models), thus guaranteeing quicker cooling.

Both, the RTX 3080 Ti and the RTX 3070 Ti utilise the upgraded IceStorm 2.0 cooling system which features triple fans comprising 11 blades. This provides an airflow of more than 10% than previous generation’s designs. The AMP Extreme Holo consist 3x100mm fans.
