Zotac Adds GTX 275 To GPU Lineup

Moving in lockstep with NVIDIA, Zotac has decided to also taking NVIDIA's newly launched GTX 275 core and slap it into a new card; so convenient, no? Just a day after it expanded its low-profile arrangement with a new GeForce 9600 LP, the same company is pushing its GTX 200 Series crew one step further. Today we're being formally introduced to the GeForce GTX 275 and GTX 275 AMP! Edition, both of which are powered by second generation NVIDIA Unified Architecture with 240 screaming-fast stream processors.


Needless to say, both of these bad boys are perfectly suited to handle DirectX 10, OpenGL 3.0, NVIDIA CUDA and PhysX powered games and applications, and with 896MB of GDDR3 memory and a 448-bit memory interface, there's plenty of room to grow. If you're curious as to how the AMP! Edition improves upon the standard card, it features a completely tweaked and tuned GPU and overclocked GDDR3 memory. In other words, it'll do your FPS scores proud, but you better bring along the extra cooling to compensate. There's no mention of pricing or availability right this moment, but you can bet Zotac will be trying to beat everyone else to the punch.
