Marking the launch of Nvidia's latest family of GeForce cards the 200 series, Zotac today unveiled two new GeForce 200 series graphics cards - the Zotac GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 280 AMP! Edition - that come with support for DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1 enabled titles with its 2nd Generation NVIDIA Unified Architecture and NVIDIA PhysX physics processing capabilities.


"NVIDIA Unified Architecture ushered in a new era of performance when it was launched with our Zotac GeForce 8800 GTX over a year ago. The 2nd Generation NVIDIA Unified Architecture further builds upon the architecture and takes 3D performance to uncharted territories," said Carsten Berger, marketing director, Zotac International. "The 2nd Generation NVIDIA Unified Architecture powered Zotac GeForce GTX 280 series is a must-have for gamers and enthusiasts craving maximal performance from their systems."

The Zotac GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 280 AMP! Edition pack in 240 processor cores into a single graphics card, with 1GB GDDR3. A wide 512-bit memory interface joins the Zotac GeForce GTX 280 series graphics processors with the large frame buffer. The new NVIDIA PhysX technology delivers realistic physics processing capabilities to the Zotac GeForce GTX 280 series. PhysX technology allows games to calculate in-game physics with great detail and precision.

The Zotac GeForce GTX 280 series also support NVIDIA SLI technology. A single system can have up to two Zotac GeForce GTX 280 series graphics cards installed in a 2-way SLI configuration for 2x the graphics and physics crunching horsepower.
