Zotac just launched the the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Arctic Storm Mini, the world’s smallest GTX 1080 Ti.

The card which measures just 6.46″ wide by 8.35″ long features Zotac’s ArticStorm open loop waterblock to minimize footprint and maximize cooling potential. The waterblock utilizes a nickle plated direct copper contact capped with a transparent, tinted acrylic top. It’s a full coverage waterblock, so it not only covers the GPU, but also the VRMs as well. To give it some extra shine, it also comes with white LEDs installed around the edge.

Starting with the higher-end of the two, we have the ZOTAC GeForced GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme. This card is virtually identical to the previous version of the GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme which the company debuted alongside the GeForce 10 series last year. However, this new model features faster 11Gbps GDDR5X memory, compared to the 10Gbps memory of the previous version.

Continuing our coverage of CES 2017, we arrive at Zotac, a company best known for manufacturing NVIDIA graphics cards. While the company did have the full range of GTX 10 series cards on display, including their recently announced GTX 1080 Mini, it was clear that Zotac has another passion: making powerful miniature PCs.

Starting with the slew of mini PCs, the first of which was the ZBOX C1549 Nano, a small fanless design which features a 7th generation Core i5 processor, 16GB of RAM and Intel HD Graphics. This passively-cooled powerhouse is specifically tailored to HTPC usage with its completely silent operation. However, we did see a demo with a [...]

There has been numerous leaks already on the upcoming Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti, but a recent leak from Videocardz provides practically confirmed specs, launch date, and pricing information about the upcoming cards.

In the slide above, we can see that the GeForce GTX 1050 will ship with 640 CUDA cores, 2GB GDDR5 memory, and a 75W TDP. It’ll begin shipping October 25 at $109. The GeForce GTX 1050 on the other hand will ship with 768 CUDA cores, 4GB GDDR5 memory and carry the same 75W TDP as the GTX 1050. It’ll also ship on October 25, but for $139. In comparison to previous leaks, pricing here appears to be even lower than we previously [...]

ZOTAC AMPs it up!

When NVIDIA first announced the Pascal-based GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 graphics cards back in May, it was very clear that they had a pair of winners on their hands. Fast forward four months to today, and it seems that the company is still commanding the high-end GPU market with no competition expected from rival AMD until early-2017. With that in mind, anyone in the market for a high-end graphics card really only has two options – the GeForce GTX 1080 or the GeForce GTX 1070.

Today, we’re taking a look at the latter or more specifically, the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 AMP! ZOTAC is a company who’ve been producing GeForce graphics cards [...]

 

ZOTAC has announced that it will refresh its line of ZBOX MAGNUS Mini PCs with the recently announced GeForce 10 series mobile graphics chips. The ZBOX MAGNUS EN10 series will still be equipped with Intel’s 6th generation Skylake CPUs, but now they will replace the aging GTX 980 graphics chip with the newer, and much more powerful GTX 1080, GTX 1070 and GTX 1060 models.

The ZBOX MAGNUS Mini PCs are aimed at gaming and entertainment in the living room, providing small and efficient solutions for VR gaming.  There is no word on pricing or specific availability yet, but if the EN980 model is any indication, it’ll be a bit more than your [...]

With the release of NVIDIA’s new mid-ranged GPU, the Pascal-based GTX 1060 set for just a little over a week from now, on August 19th. NVIDIA’s add-in board partners are readying their own custom designs for the card, hoping to set themselves apart from each other. Today, ZOTAC has announced two models, the GTX 1060 AMP! and GTX 1060 Mini, both of which are described as being “Super compact short length cards.”

As we continue our Computex 2016 coverage, we had a chance to stop by ZOTAC to check out some of their new lineup of products. On display, they had a couple of new graphics cards which we saw leaked earlier this week, the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Edition, and AMP Extreme.
