Although the current GPU crisis has led to price increases and some scarcity, on the plus side we are still getting some impressive new variants. Case in point, the new ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5080 SOLID CORE OC 20th Anniversary Edition, created to celebrate the company's anniversary milestone.

This custom GeForce RTX 5080 takes ZOTAC's new SOLID CORE design, which debuted with the GeForce RTX 50 Series, and gives it an anniversary makeover. This includes a titanium colorway, which gives the card a stylish, brushed-metal bronze look, and a magnetic mirror-like backplate that can be attached to the existing metal backplate.
The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5080 SOLID CORE OC 20th Anniversary Edition features a 2.5-slot physical design, so when it comes to flagship or premium GeForce RTX 50 Series cards, it's on the smaller side. That said, the 303.5 x 115.8 x 55.7mm dimensions and metal build still mean that it comes with a DUO ARGB GPU stand, which, as the name suggests, has an LED light bar integrated into the stand.

ZOTAC notes that this anniversary edition maintains the all-metal mid-frame of the baseline model for durability, and for power protection, there's a 12v-2x6 Safety Light to confirm stable power delivery when connected. Elsewhere, the IceStorm 3.0 cooling includes a vapor chamber and ZOTAC's custom BladeLink Fans. It's also an OC model with an out-of-the-box Boost Clock speed of 2640MHz, only a minor increase over the 2617MHz on the Founders Edition reference design.
