A Closer Look

The ZOTAC cooler uses two heatpipes that are connected to a copper plate that soaks up the heat from the graphics chip.


Power delivery requires a single 6-pin PCI-Express power connector. This configuration is specified for up to 150 W power draw.


ZOTAC is using an OnSemi NCP 81174 voltage controller, a model we've seen on other cards before.


The GDDR5 memory chips are by Samsung and carry the model number K4G41325FC-HC28. They are specified to run at 1750 MHz (7000 MHz GDDR5 effective).


NVIDIA's GM206 graphics processor is produced on a 28 nm process at TSMC, Taiwan, with a transistor count of 2.9 billion and a die size of 228 mm².
