Zotac 8800 GTS AMP! Edition

The Zotac 8800 GTS AMP! Edition has the same bundle as their reference design model which we recently reviewed and the box is similar with the Cyborg from the stock model box now replaced by a very cool looking dragon.

Zotac have also chosen to use the reference design cooler on their GTS AMP! Edition card and have applied a sticker to the heatsink which identifies this as the enhanced model. As with other GTS 512Mb models this card uses the G92 core which Zotac set to 678MHz. The memory is Hyundai HYB18H5123216E-10 DDR3 which is rated to 1000MHz and clocked at 972MHz; finally the shader clock on this card is 1728MHZ, just over 100MHz above reference. There are two dual link DVIs in use which are HDCP enabled and able to output resolutions up to 2560x1600. Full DirectX 10, HDCP, PCIe 2.0 and high definition video acceleration are all present.
