ZOTAC Gaming is marking 20 years in business with a fresh lineup of RTX 50-series 20th Anniversary Edition Graphics Cards, and the first images point to a mix of premium liquid-cooled and more familiar air-cooled designs. The teaser also suggests ZOTAC is using the anniversary range to show off both its hardware history and where it wants the brand to go next.
A special edition look for ZOTAC’s anniversary
The company’s 20th Anniversary Edition boards move away from standard production styling with a titanium-like color theme and a more polished presentation overall. ZOTAC began as an NVIDIA add-in card partner, but its business has since expanded into mini PCs, AI platforms, and servers.
For this anniversary series, the design language appears to be more cohesive than a simple cosmetic refresh. The cards shown so far include a liquid-cooled flagship and several air-cooled models, all tied together by the same celebratory theme.
GeForce RTX 5080 gets the most elaborate treatment
The standout model in the lineup is the GeForce RTX 5080 20th Anniversary Limited Edition. It uses a factory-installed full-coverage water block rather than an aftermarket-style solution, and the block is built directly into the card’s own design.
Key elements of the card include:
- Nickel-plated copper as the main material
- An acrylic top with embedded ARGB lighting
- A metal alloy shroud and backplate integrated into the overall look
This version is also expected to receive ZOTAC’s highest factory overclock within the RTX 5080 family.
Air-cooled versions cover several tiers
ZOTAC also teased an air-cooled anniversary design based on a modified IceStorm 3.0 cooler. Visually, it seems closer to the company’s Solid OC lineup than the more elaborate AMP Extreme Infinity cards, and it does not appear to use the same ARGB diffuser found on that series.
That board design is expected to appear on RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti models. A similar card shown in a slightly thinner 2.5-slot version is expected to be the RTX 5070 non-Ti, while a compact 2-slot twin-fan model appears to line up with the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB.
What ZOTAC is expected to show at Computex
ZOTAC plans to display all of these cards at its Computex 2026 booth. Based on the current teasers, the anniversary range seems intended to cover both enthusiasts looking for a showcase product and buyers who want a more conventional cooler in the same themed package.
For now, the first look mainly confirms the broad direction of the lineup rather than final launch details. Even so, the RTX 50-series 20th Anniversary Edition Graphics Cards already stand out as some of ZOTAC’s more distinctive designs for the new generation.
