ZOTAC Introduces Its GeForce GTX 960 series graphics card

ZOTAC International has introduced the new ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 and ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition based on Nvidia’s Maxwell architecture, and made more powerful and more efficient using ZOTAC technology.

 “We have listened and made remarkable improvements on the reference card to tailor it to users who are looking for a quieter experience without compromising gaming performance. The ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 series does exactly this,” Tong Wong, CEO, ZOTAC International.

The Card for Enthusiasts

The Maxwell architecture delivers a smoother gaming experience and software features support greater graphical fidelity even on rich textures all while using less power. The card combined with a dual fan IceStorm technology (available on ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition), and coupled with the newest FREEZE tech, ZOTAC’s newest fan feature to incorporate a powerful but quiet card.

Introducing FREEZE Tech

FREEZE tech will enable powerful video cards to become silent and reduce the wear on the fan system. When the user is not using the graphic card heavily, the fans idle. It integrates performance, silence and efficiency by making full use of well-engineered aerodynamics and fully using all passive heat dissipating components. The fan will engage automatically when GPU temperature rises, and stays silent for the rest of the time.

Function with Style

Giving attention to design as well, ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition boast a sleek gunmetal ExoArmor with a durable wraparound metal back plate and front metal frame with a dual 90mm IceStorm cooling solution. Together they stabilize heat dissipation, produce cooling capabilities and minimize vibrations.

Firestorm Provides Precision Control

The card may be fine-tuned to suit individual needs, and it can be done through FIRESTORM, an in-house developed tweaking utility from ZOTAC. Unleash the card’s potential with a few clicks, and push the performance even further. The utility software is constantly updated to give users the best easy to use experience. The newest enthusiast card is the perfect upgrade for those who are looking for an intense visual experience.
