Upfront we can see the product title, as well as two very interesting stickers: the extended warranty and the Splinter Cell stickers. Yes sir, the Zotac GTX 770 AMP! Edition comes with an extended warranty upon registration of your GPU purchase in Zotac’s website. Also in the package is the full version of three Splinter Cell games.

Edition GTX 770 features a black PCB with a black cooler shroud. The fans are bright orange but are not LED illuminated. We can see the PCB is of very good quality with the matte finish as well. Always nice to see black PCBs being used.

The dual-slot cooler is made of metal and has a quality feel to it. The matte black powder coat finish rounds out the quality feel. Being a dual-slot cooler, the card will happily fit with 2 more of its brothers if your board supports it for SLI action.

The plug is stacked and feels a bit flimsy when you stick the connectors in them. We didn’t seem to have any problems but we feel that some retention work could have improved that solid feel of the card.

will this card suffice for a 3 23″ monitor setup?
You’ll want to turn down graphics settings for that if you want to run off a single card but I highly suggest going for an SLI setup if you want the most out of your mulit-display rig.
