The boost clock shown for the product is fairly pointless, I think it's just the AIB's way of saying this card will boost to at least that amount.

Nvidia GPU boost is used on all cards and and it decide what clock to run based on temperate and power.

How did you get a Zotac card so fast?

Cheers, will see how I go.

I ordered one from a competitor, got lucky as 300 people were viewing it on checkout.

How well does the cooling solution hold up for the 3060ti's power draw?
Do the fans have to ramp up much?
It's the only concern I have with the Zotac as it has the smallest heatsink.

Depends what you do with your games. I cap at 144 fps for my monitor, and it is tolerable in some using speakers. When playing above 200 fps (this is probably game dependent on whether its CPU bound maybe?) the fans ramp up.

Games I've tested so far are:

All below is at 1080p on high/ultra settings.

Doom Eternal [GPU gets loud, but tolerable if using speakers], capped @ 144 fps.
Heaven benchmark, got around 240 fps, fans were 70% and GPU temp was at 67c [really loud, need headphones].
World of Warcraft, capped @ 140 fps, can hardly hear the GPU.
Insurgency Sandstorm, capped @ 144 fps, can hardly hear GPU.
Gears 5, capped @ 144fps [really loud, need headphones, temps reached 70c, fans were running at 77%].

Nice dude, hope mine get shipped tomorrow, but I was probably one of the last to order by 15 minutes... :/ Surprised if I'm not part of the 5, even though payment has been made.[

Meantime, I got that Cyberpunk preload :)

Edit: Wonder how much I can sell my 3 year old 1070 for...

If you are lucky enough to get a card, and can get strong money for whatever card you have currently, you;re laughing, I put my RX580 8Gb on FB Marketplace for £150, obviously expecting to be low balled, guy offered me £120 so I took it..

Mostly correct the advertised boost clock is the minimum guaranteed that the card should do. Its set on the card which is why you can see it in GPU-Z at the bottom of the first tab.

Often gets people confused when their card boosts more than the advertised.
