ZOTAC Introduces GeForce GT 520 Graphics Card

New GPU? Yes, please! NVIDIA's been on a roll here lately, pushing out one GPU after another in rapid succession. The company's latest is the GeForce GT 520, using one of NVIDIA's newest low/mid-range cores to provide a boost in power to those who aren't willing to pay for any of the hardcore cards that are tempting enthusiasts today. The new card has an 810MHz engine clock, 48 unified shaders, a 1620MHz shader clock, 1GB of DDR3 memory, a 64-bit memory interface and a trio of outputs: dual-link DVI, HDMI, and VGA.


It's a PCIe 2.0 card, and of course, supports of NVIDIA's fancy protocols (CUDA, PhysX, etc.). ZOTAC's Boost Premium software bundle is included, and while no price has been established just yet, we suspect it won't hurt the bank too badly.
