Zotac is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a limited-run GeForce RTX 5080 SOLID CORE OC featuring a titanium-colored design and bundled accessories. The card retains the standard model’s Blackwell-based hardware while adding a mirror-finish magnetic backplate and DUO ARGB GPU Support Stand for PC builders seeking a more distinctive flagship-class GPU.

Key takeaways

  • RTX 5080 with 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 memory
  • Factory boost clock of 2,640MHz
  • Titanium finish, magnetic mirror backplate, and bundled ARGB support stand
  • IceStorm 3.0 cooling with vapor chamber, six heat pipes, and BladeLink fans
  • Limited availability begins August 13, 2026; pricing remains unannounced

The anniversary edition is based on Zotac’s existing SOLID CORE OC rather than a new GPU configuration. Its main changes are the exterior treatment and included accessories, although the 2,640MHz boost clock places it above NVIDIA’s 2,617MHz reference specification.

Titanium styling and bundled accessories

The card replaces the regular SOLID CORE OC’s darker appearance with an exclusive titanium colorway inspired by the material’s durability and resistance to corrosion. Zotac pairs the finish with a special mirror-like backplate that attaches magnetically, allowing installation or removal without tools.

Also included is Zotac’s DUO ARGB GPU Support Stand. It offers adjustable height, a rubberized foot, a detachable second support arm, and a full-length ARGB lighting strip. Alongside the card’s SPECTRA RGB system, the stand gives builders additional options for coordinating lighting inside a showcase PC.

Under the anniversary styling is NVIDIA’s GB203-based GeForce RTX 5080, equipped with 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 running at 30Gbps across a 256-bit memory interface. The card supports RTX 50-series features including DLSS 4.5, NVIDIA Studio acceleration, and NIM microservices for supported AI workflows.

Zotac’s IceStorm 3.0 cooler uses a full-length aluminum heatsink, six copper composite heat pipes, and a vapor chamber that the company says is up to 34% larger than the previous generation. BladeLink fans use interconnected blades intended to improve airflow consistency, acoustic performance, and durability. The design also includes fan-stop support and an all-metal mid-frame for added structural reinforcement.

Power connector and availability

The SOLID CORE OC uses a 12V-2×6 power connector with a Safety Light designed to indicate whether the cable is fully seated. Zotac also specifies 5-micron gold-plated connection pins, which are intended to improve electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5080 SOLID CORE OC 20th Anniversary Edition carries model number ZT-B50800J2S-10P. Zotac says the limited-quantity card will become available on August 13, 2026, with regional supply and delivery determining where it can be purchased. Retail pricing has not yet been announced, making the bundled backplate and support stand the primary value differentiators until launch pricing is confirmed.
