The Card

As mentioned before, the physical card appearance is the same as the NVIDIA reference board. A high quality print sticker on top of the cooler identifies the card as a Zotac product. Take a closer look at the dragon image, see the subtle "AMP" in the background? Very nice.
Like any other high-end video card, the GeForce GTX 280 uses a dual-slot cooling solution, no surprises here.


The card has two DVI ports, basically the most common output configuration these days. In case you need an analog VGA port you can use the included DVI adapter. When using an HDMI adapter (also included), you will also have access to HDMI+HDCP+Audio, which allows easy setup of a media PC. For the HDMI audio feature you have to connect the included SPDIF cable from your on-board audio or sound card to the input on the GTX 280.


Here are the front and the back of the card, high-res versions are also available (front, back). If you choose to use these images for voltmods etc, please include a link back to this site or let us post your article.
