About AMP Extreme Airo Graphic Card
Fa'aosoina i manatu fa'aola, o le Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 40 Series AMP Extreme AIRO e fa'aogaina se AIR-Optimized mamanu e fa'ailoa mai ai le sili i le lalolagi sili ona maualuga ta'aloga GPU, fa'amalosia e le Nvidia Ada Lovelace architecture. O le Air-Optimized design e aumaia ai le maualuga o le lelei i le tafe o le ea, maualuga le pisa, ma le umi mo le maualuga o le faatinoga o ata o taaloga. O le iridescent ma le translucent fa'ai'uga o le RGB fa'atasi mai e fa'aosofia e le va'aiga mata'ina ma lanu o moli Aurora Borealis.
About the A' Design Award Auro
O le A' Design Award Auro na manumalo ai AMP Extreme Airo Graphic Card, o se faamaoniga matuā mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu o le tulaga muamua, matagofie ma maoaʻe. O ē manumalo i le Auro o galuega fou tele, matuā vaai i le lumanaʻi ma susulu e faaalia ai le atamai, le poto ma le tomai o tagata mamanu. E faamoemoeina AMP Extreme Airo Graphic Card e avea ma mea fou e matuā vivii, e faatulaga ai uiga fou ma tetele, e tuuina mai ai se tau e leʻi iai muamua. O lenei mamanu na manumalo i le A' Design Award Auro o se galuega ofoofogia, ua faaaloalogia, e aogā tele ma tuleia atu tapulaʻa o le faatufugaga, saienisi, mamanu ma tekonolosi. AMP Extreme Airo Graphic Card e fatuina ai lagona malosi o le manaʻo, faaosofia le tuinanau, faalauiloa le fatufatuaʻi ma faamalosia i tatou.

- Aerodynamic, Futuristic, Different, Streamline, Sports car, Airflow
- Production Technology
- LED Panel: Iridescent-decorated plastic frame, fabricated using in-mold decoration technology with integrated ARGB LED lighting.
Cover: Injection molded using transparent plastic, with metallic gun-metal and silver spray paint coating. Laser etching applied to specific areas to enable light transmission.
Heat pipes: 9-piece composite layered heat pipes, precision-machined.
Vapor chamber: Nickel-plated copper plate construction.
Fans: Dual ball bearing fans.
Backplate: Solid die-cast metal.
Spectra: 5 distinct zones for lighting effects. - Design Challenge
- The utilization of a completely new molding technique entireurrencethe biggest challenge of the project.
As space in computer ases are often very limited, every inch should be used efficiently. With In-mold decorating technology, the plastic and printing can be finished inside the mold in one shot, thus making the outcome thinner and more precise. However, to get a good result many trials and errors had to be done. After several months and testing dozens of samples, our hard work was rewarded as we successfull achieved the desired outcome. - Research
- Primary research: conduct surveys, use the product directly to collect data such as frame rate, noise level, etc.
Secondary research: Employing secondary sources such as reviews, research reports and comments from the internet, famous websites and forums, and comparing our design to the competitors' products.
Objectives: To improve the product's functions, by introducing new features and specifications.
Methodology: Extensive data and information gathering, in order to identify gaps in current products and improve upon existing designs. - Inspiration
- The design of the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 40 Series AMP Extreme AIRO is inspired by aerodynamic concepts with a balanced design of function and form. It incorporates an AIR-Optimized design for maximum airflow efficiency with ventilation paths on all sides, so airflow can maneuver and be expelled in all directions, reducing trapped heat to ensure maximum performance.
The iridescent and translucent finish of the RGB presence are inspired by the captivating visual and colors of the Aurora Borealis lights. - Project Duration
- Design planning of the project started in September 2021 in Hong Kong. Manufacturing begun in June 2022 in China.
- Operation Flow
- The product is designed with minimal need for user interaction. Its efficient heat pipes, fans, exhaust, and aerodynamic shape offer maximum airflow expulsion and heat transfer, guaranteeing that thermal overhead stays low under heavy loads.
Users can fine-tune the lighting pattern of the product via a special software to perfectly match their PC builds.
