Zotac is a new nVidia partner- at least for us. Its a new brand in the region and this is the first product we have received from them which is an overclocked 9800GTX card. Considering how cool the 9800GTX runs, this should work out quite nicely. Lets find out how the AMPed version of Zotac compares to the stock 9800GTX and other cards.

Packaging Zotac bundles their graphics card in a nice and bright box that will certainly catch the eye of a shopper. The box has plenty of details on it and it does mention the word "Overclocked" on it along with the Core and memory speeds on the side.
Inside the box we found the Driver CD as well as the full version of the fairly new game for the hit TV series LOST. Manuals, 2x power converter cables, Video cable, DVI converter, HDMI converter, Audio cable and a ZOTAC Badge sticker were also included. The Card Zotac’s word for an overclocked version is “AMP! Edition.” The card is based on a Black PCB which certainly looks nicer than the stock green PCB that nVidia uses. However the HSF design is the same as the stock nVidia card with a ZOTAC AMP! logo on it. To match the look of the PCB, two Black DVI video outputs as well as one video out is present on the back plate while two black 6-PIN power connecters are present on the rear side of the card.
