Powerful, cool and loud: Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Amp! Extremes in the test

So, or something like that, the R&D department at Zotac must have thought when the new project was approached.

Power consumption at different loads

The power consumption in the gaming loop is pretty much exactly on the point that Zotac set as the power target with 180 watts in the BIOS. In the Torture loop, the power consumption even drops below this value. Even with the maximum possible power target of 140% being exhausted, the card with just under 230 watts remained a frame and even fell below Nvidia's limit of 240 watts. The limit is therefore the voltage, not the power as such.

The corresponding voltages for both loops in the factory state are shown in the following diagram:

Compliance with the standard on the motherboard slot

With a maximum of 3.6 amps (Gaming OC), the card is far below what the PCI SIG sets with a maximum of 5 amps (66 watts) for the 12-volt rail on the motherboard slot.
