Zotac Releases 9800 GTX Zone Edition GPU

13 Jun, 2008, 9:00 am IST | by Jayesh Mansukhani |

Zotac today has released its liquid-cooled, near-silent single GPU graphics card – the ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX ZONE Edition. Cooled by a custom water-cooling system, the ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX ZONE Edition delivers high-performance in DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1 titles while keeping thermal and noise levels to a minimum.

Unlike conventional water-cooling units, the ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX ZONE Edition features a self-contained water-cooling system that requires no end-user maintenance. The self-contained unit comes already attached to the graphics card and only requires the user to mount the 120mm fan and radiator module. The water-cooling system delivers up to 21.5% lower GPU temperatures compared to traditional air-cooled solutions. In addition to the water-cooler, the new card receives a slight performance boost through higher clock speeds. This is done by raising core, shader and memory clock speeds to 700 MHz, 1700 MHz and 2250 MHz, respectively.

"Many enthusiasts seek better cooling performance and quieter operation from their graphics card cooler through third party vendors, but maintaining low noise with high-performance using air-cooling solutions is a hard task," said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International (MCO) Ltd. "With our ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX ZONE Edition, customers can have the high performance and quiet operation of water-cooling without the hassles of regular maintenance or installation, which often voids the factory graphics card warranty."

All Zotac cards carry a warranty of 5 years, with the cost of the 9800 GTX Zone edition being available for an approximate cost of Rs. 23,000.
