ZOTAC International, a Hong Kong based and a global manufacturer of innovation which created the first-ever Mini Gaming PC, continues to push the MAGNUS Series to a previously impossible level. With the all-new MAGNUS EK and ER Series powered by high-performance Intel or AMD Ryzen processors with a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070/1060 Series graphics card, ZOTAC is showcasing the first Mini PC series ever built with desktop sized graphics cards. Packing the punch that rivals full-size desktop rigs twice their weight, they are solid choices even for demanding pro gamers.

ZOTAC takes the unprecedented step of packing the best-performing desktop graphics card into the small footprint of the Gaming Mini PC paired with a next-generation processor. MAGNUS EK Series features a 7th Gen Intel Core quad-core processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture to deliver higher frequencies in speeds for a powerful gaming experience. Plus it adds the revolutionary new Intel Optane Memory that enables quick access times while allowing for larger storage capacities.



MAGNUS ER Series, on the other hand, is the world first Mini PC Series that leverages an AMD Ryzen processor. AMD Ryzen inspires a new generation of high-performance computing and it combines the latest thinking in high-throughput and low-power design methodologies that bring an optimal compute performance to power your play.

Built using future-proof components to keep compatibility for more advanced gaming, all models from both series support up to 32GB of DDR4 2400MHz SODIMM memory and dual storage capable (2.5-inch and M.2). A comprehensive selection of ports includes two USB 3.1 Gen2 ports doubling previous gen USB speeds for up to 10Gbps throughput, an HDMI 2.0 port, three DISPLAYPORT 1.4, and a DL-DVI video output. Moreover, MAGNUS always stays cool and whisper quiet thanks to a radial fan and smart thermal design.

An immersive VR experience is guaranteed with these smallest VR Ready Gaming Mini PCs, and it gets better with available HTC Vive bundles*. Everything you need for VR gaming is in one tiny package and it's ready to go out of the box.
