ZOTAC Brings Apocalypse RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti Graphics Cards to the U.S. Market

ZOTAC has introduced its anime-inspired " Apocalypse " graphics cards to the U.S. market, offering the GeForce RTX 5080 Apocalypse OC and the RTX 5070 Ti Apocalypse OC through Newegg. These models are priced at $1,249 and $849 , respectively, which is $249 and $100 above NVIDIA's reference pricing. Initially launched as a China-focused product earlier this year, the series is now available domestically, eliminating the need for American buyers to rely on imports or third-party resellers. The U.S. versions maintain the distinctive visual style that gained attention overseas, featuring a white outer shell, insect-wing inspired patterns, and a circular ARGB ring framing the central BladeLink fan. Both cards utilize ZOTAC's IceStorm 3.0 cooling solution, which includes a vapor chamber, a three-fan BladeLink array, and a densely packed fin stack.

Enthusiasts will appreciate features such as dual BIOS, a fan-stop utility branded FREEZE, and SPECTRA 2.0 lighting controls. ZOTAC includes adapter cables and a GPU support bracket to accommodate the triple-slot board profile, with power ratings of approximately 300 watts for the 5070 Ti and 360 watts for the 5080. Notably, Newegg's listings and part numbers match ZOTAC's global naming conventions. In the U.S., ZOTAC has limited the offering to the more practical triple-slot OC models, as opposed to the larger premium versions available in China. No European or additional regional launches have been announced. For those interested in out-of-the-box performance, the RTX 5080 Apocalypse OC boasts a boost clock of 2,617 MHz, while the 5070 Ti features a boost clock of 2,572 MHz.
