ZOTAC Unleashes New Affordable GeForce 9 series - New ZOTAC GeForce 9400GT series delivers affordable GeForce 9 experience

Hong Kong – Sept. 16, 2008 – ZOTAC International, a leading manufacturer of NVIDIA-based graphics cards and motherboards, today unleashes two new supercharged NVIDIA GeForce 9400GT-based graphics cards with GDDR3 memory -- the ZOTAC GeForce 9400GT DDR3 and GeForce 9400GT DDR3 ZONE Edition. The new GeForce 9400GT DDR3 series cater to users seeking affordable high-performance 3D graphics to enjoy the latest DirectX 10 enabled 3D games and applications.

Powered by NVIDIA’s Unified Architecture, the ZOTAC GeForce 9400GT DDR3 series pack 16 blazing-fast stream processors ready to take on the latest DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1 titles or supercharge your computing experience with CUDA enabled applications.

“With the new ZOTAC GeForce 9400GT DDR3 series, we’re able to deliver the power of NVIDIA GeForce 9 architecture and high-performance GDDR3 in a package that’s big on performance but still affordable,” said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International.

A passive cooler cools the ZOTAC GeForce 9400GT DDR3 ZONE Edition for a silent graphics experience. The passive cooler enables the ZOTAC GeForce 9400GT DDR3 ZONE Edition to deliver high-performance graphics while operating silently and maintain optimal operating temperatures.

“As components become more powerful, maintaining low noise levels becomes an issue. However, with our ZOTAC GeForce 9400GT DDR3 ZONE Edition, users are able to enjoy the high-performance of NVIDIA’s GeForce 9400GT graphics processor in silence,” Mr. Berger added.

The ZOTAC GeForce 9400GT DDR3 employs a traditional active cooling solution that is quiet, but not completely silent like the GeForce 9400GT DDR3 ZONE Edition.

NVIDIA PureVideo HD technology empowers the ZOTAC GeForce 9400GT DDR3 series with high-definition video playback capabilities. PureVideo HD enables the ZOTAC GeForce 9400GT DDR3 series to decode high-definition VC-1 and H.264 video formats using the GPU, freeing up the CPU for other tasks.
