ZOTAC Announces GeForce GT 520 in PCI and PCIe x1 Interface Variants

ZOTAC International, a leading innovator and channel manufacturer, today expands the value GeForce GT 520 lineup with new PCI and PCI Express x1 form factors for users with pre-built systems that have limited expansion capabilities. The new ZOTAC GeForce GT 520 PCI and PCI Express x1 graphics cards breathe new life into older systems by delivering a performance punch and new video capabilities.

"Upgrading your graphics card is the easiest way to boost your system performance and gain new capabilities. The new ZOTAC GeForce GT 520 PCI and PCI Express x1 graphics cards shows that you can experience good graphics without upgrading the rest of your system," said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International.
The ZOTAC GeForce GT 520 PCI and PCI Express x1 graphics cards provide DVI, HDMI and VGA outputs with dual simultaneous independent display support for an instant dual-monitor upgrade. The low-profile form factor enables the ZOTAC GeForce GT 520 PCI and PCI express x1 graphics card to easily fit in compact pre-built systems with height limitations in addition to expansion limitations.

It's time to play with the ZOTAC GeForce GT 520 PCI and PCI Express x1 graphics card.

JizzlerI bet it's just omitted from the spec sheet.

[H]@RD5TUFF is using one, TPU has a GT 520 review stating it's supported, and the only requirements that nVidia give are:



I can't see the manufacturer having control over PhysX (or CUDA) support.
n-sterThis version of the card doesn't seem to have PhysX :(
This is the one I am using atm.

It doesn't say that it supports physx either, but I was able to enable it with nothing more than ticking a box, to turn physx on.

Now I can have a decent alternative to my 8200 IGP without populating the PCI-e 16X which I'll reserve for a RAID + USB3.0 controller or maybe just a RAID controller.

On the other side, it could be time to resucite some old systems!
could add this card to my old celeron 1100 mhz but not sure what for... It already runs horrible with an nvidia FX5500 AGP :ohwell: but of course it runs much worse without it.

it's always handy to have a PCI card around anyway, also I can imagine it should be better than IGPs, wherever is PCI or PCI-e 1x.

is the PCI bandwidth enough for physx? or will it just make things worse?

@viper... i dont think itll be an issue as far as physx goes. the original Agiea PPU was pci and later pci-e. btw it had 32 cores and 256mb, hence nvidias min req. (as in a stand alone ppu)

finally some decent pci/1x cards... if its not double the cost of the x16 model.

It will be overpriced probably, but wonder why no s-vhs output, because people who doesn't have money to upgrade their system usually have old TVs as well.

also.: www.invisiblerobot.com/pcie_x1/ :D

edit: Ah, I just saw it's around $65, not worth it imo

There would be a higher chance of that happening if it were an ATi/AMD card.
