There’s only two quality reviews on this card and one is yours. I just needed to see reviews talking about this card and just needed more clarification and you offered it. Over here where I live my pc guy has ordered this card and it waiting for its arrival, when it arrives I will buy this card, can’t wait 🤩
Drooling like a rabid dog here ! As you know Im not a fan of RGB.....however for this card I would be willing to make an exception. I think its a gorgeous looking card and the performance cant be ignored, its a beast. Even with two fans instead of 3 its cooler than the Fonz ! Bit of a thick boy too but not surprising with the kewling on board. Totes jealous but I truly hope you get your buddy over at Zotec to sell you that one, I think youve found your soulmate in that card lol. Now I think I'll leave you both to get a room..........thanks for sharing Mike and 3070.....I mean Mike and Kath :)
Great review and no lies told! I've had this card for about a month and caught it at 500 new. Runs nice and cool as is out of box. You can ramp the fans up and even under heavy gameplay you can manage to keep temps around 70 degrees (a little higher than what I see but im giving some leeway here). The RGB is bright, but the strip on the top side under the holographic piece can sorta effect the colors seeing how its already a green/purple; but still nice. I highly suggest this card if you can fit it and find it for a decent price. RTX does tank it with only 8gb of memory if your settings are high/ultra otherwise youre looking at 100+fps in most titles at 4k!
Great review, Mike & Kath! I'd rather go for the Twin Edge model ("And yes, Mr. Wayne: it does come in black.") the day stock does exists, of course. If not, my choice will be RTX 3060 (Twin Edge too).
I got one it's on its way can wait to finish my new build I slightly over paid but sure look I'd rather have it then moan for the next year at about not having one great vid highly informative
Great :) Now all we have to do is wait for the cards to a) become available and b) drop down to MSRP. Eyes on a 3080/6800XT... at this rate I'll be waiting until the end of the year!
Mine was 620 pounds. I had to replace my NZXT H500 for a Phanteks P500a coz of overheating but it's great now. The heating was probably caused by the ECO mode switch being flicked on my PSU though. The Twin Edge doesn't get good ratings but AMP to me is perfectly fine with temps of 45-50c when gaming.
I was able to capture this card in the wild @ msrp, That itself was a miracle. This particular card from Zotac has outstanding performance out of the box and has a more than adequate dual fan cooling solution that does wonders for thermals to be as low as possible with 98% load during benchmarking or gameplay. This smaller footprint will make this card a breeze to install in any case. Card runs stable and cool allowing you to play any AAA+ title on ultra settings Very impressed with its over all performance , cooling and aesthetics . Yes it has ARGB on the face and the back plate as well. Wait you just said backplate? Why yes indeed it does have one heck of a back plate, pretty sturdy imo. In addition to the sturdiness of the back plate and fancy lighting, it is slotted at the tail for air pass thru - perhaps following the design of the Nvidia 3070 founders edition. The card comes with a impressive moderate OC directly from Zotac, but with a aggressive manual overclock - was able to add 1000 mhz to ram Frequency(samsung Ram chips) , and 132 mhz to gpu clocks - ran stable using benchmarking tools and stable playing games with out any voltage adjustments - was able to Rank # 252 globally using high settings running super position benchmark , pretty impressive. Thanks for review, it influenced my purchase of this card.
Gettingbthis Card tomorrow at 1200€... Good for me I can sell my old GTX1660 Super for 450€ so the "Standard Price" will be like 700-800€. Thanks for the review and im looking forward to experience myself.
Hi Mike I just ordered one if these of ebay fir a budget build I'm doing for a customer. Do you think it need a sag bracket. It going in a b550 tomahawk mobo 😊
@@mikesunboxing Thanks, it really is! Can't believe how lucky I was as got it for £530, they were all showing as "in other people's baskets" so I went on their live chat and asked (begged!) nicely, one dropped in my basket a minute later and got a message to say I had 15 mins to pay! Could be a strategy to get around the bots? Either way, what a card!
@@BuckyKat9999 I wish I'd known because the same happened to me on CCL online. Waited ages and it just said an Asus 3060ti was in other people's baskets. I did get the Zotac AMP off ebuyer for 620 pounds. Bit much but then I sold my 1070 for 285 pounds which is a lot.
I agree and i said that in the video, you might of missed that section. I was going to avoid the review altogether but again as i said in the video, they are pretty confident of stock being available soon. I did mention this i'm sure.
@@markmceachran2921 If you can get one then good luck to you. I myself have been trying to buy a 30 series card for the last 4 months here in the UK and cannot get hold of any what so ever. Also, the over the top prices against MMRP is a joke.
Hi Mike. Don't cry, but I had one of those, I'd rip the fans and cooler off and slap on a waterblock. I'd rather have a RX 6800 XT, but with the way things are, I'd settle for a RTX 3070, or anything faster than my RX 5700 XT.
@@mikesunboxing Also you don't have to deal with fan noise and the power that's normally wasted on fans is used by the GPU for a little extra performance.

I have this card, i don't like it, it is good but terrible where the 2 x 8-pins are and the plastic cover and the wierd card height instead of length. It's stupid smh i got it during the zotac drop when they had the queue
sorry to hear that, i know what you mean about the size , it is a little odd. Be you should also count your blessings, there are hundreds of thousands of people that can't get a video card right now
can i get the old pieces of tech sitting in the back of ur garage doing nothing? i barely have a phone to game on, i wanna see what i can build with ur forgotten stuff, You know what they say, one mans's trash is another mans treasure.
Don't like the HOLO. Don't like RGB. 800 GBP also when it should be 699. Those colors would make me pay less. But then again we have no options anyway. Nice review though.
just got Zotac amp Holo Rtx 3070 the day before, but this card makes a noise like vibrating at high rpm. I think it is caused by a gap, because I use my finger to push the card to make the gap close, noise disappeared. Do you know how to solve this problem?

Imagine the guy who gets the one u reviewed?

I was lucky enough to get this card from Zotac Store USA. Your review is one of the few and the best I've seen. Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
hi , may i know whats the max possible power limit in this card ?
@@skK-xk3yc I don't know. In my case it draw around 250W max at stock settings. I did not OCd it.

Great video, thanks Mike. As a non-gamer even I think this card is beautiful! Well done on taking it apart, I hope Mr Zotac is not watching.
it is boxed up ready to go back now sadly. shame but i did get to touch it for a while
Like the look of that - always thought the AMP cards offered something a little bit more uncommon than the regular go to choices
yeah Zotac have come a long way over the years
I got mine today! I love it
glad to hear it, a really great card if it is at the right price
I got one for 500$ for my gaming pc, this was the only 3070 model available in my country.
not bad price there! lucky to get one

@@andy816896 Didn't bother in the end!
Nice one Mike great review as always but why push another card we can't get hold of. Kinda rubbing our noses in it don't you think..

Did you ever find a compatible water cooler for this card?

sounds great although maybe 3600 ram might be an option for a little extra speed?

Hi Mike I just installed this card in a system. What's best fans settings as I keeps ramping up and it's loud
install the newest nvidia drivers and it should be okay as long as you also have your motherboard chipset drivers installed

have you considered opening it up and repasting and new thermal pads?
