Zotac GTX 1070Ti Mini Variant Vs Amp or Xtreme !!

Waqas409

Hi,
I wanted to know if is there any major performance difference between GTX 1070Ti mini variant ( zotac one, which has 2fans and single 8 pin power connector ) compare to the normal / amp / extreme variants of GTX 1070Ti.

or any draw back.
I have searched on youtube but there is not much about Zotac GTX 1070Ti Mini which i wanted to know.
Thanks.

Like any mini GPU, it will get slightly worse thermal performance than a full-size card. If you're not doing a SFF build, I would recommend just getting the full size one. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents.

that mini variant suits my requirement because of my budget, if i go with normal one i have to change the PSU to 650 or 700W which will be out of my budget, right now PSU is 500W and im using gtx 960 4gb with it.
for those temps issue, cant it be solved with adjusting manual fan curves in msi afterburner?

The 1070ti mini will be alot lounder then the other full size variants, it will have less overclocking headroom and it probably wont be as fast as a full size one. A 500w psu is plenty for a 1070ti build (unless its a terrible one), unless youre using an insanely power hungry cpu.

I wont do any overclocking on this card, because I'll do only 1080p single monitor for now, maybe later on i'll add second 1080p monitor. But for now it will  be only 1080p gaming n stuff. So i think 1080p gaming will be fine on this !
For the CPU, i'm using Intel Xeon W3690, it has a TDP of 130W.

If you have a big case, get the Extreme. The normal is fine too, but the Mini is only good for smaller builds.
