The card also features a pretty swank metal backplate. Instead, the Mini is all gunmetal, with a simple white logo illuminate on the side. The GPU is also quite subtle in its appearance a distinct difference from its Amp! Extreme card, which has an illuminated "Push the Limit!" logo along with generous helpings of yellow accents along with RGB lighting. Zotac calls its cooling solution Icestorm, which is a bit much, buy that's GPU marketing for you. A copper contact block on the heatsink is attached to five 6mm copper heat pipes, which then connect to the aluminum heatsink, allowing the fans' wide blades to disperse heat effectively. Instead of a massive tri-fan setup like in the company's Amp! Extreme, it uses just two fans one 90mm and the other 100mm.

That's great news for SFF builders looking for maximum gaming performance who might have thought they were stuck with a GTX 1070 or a card of similar size and power.
