The silent killer of ZOTAC: GeForce GTS 450 ZONE Edition

ZOTAC today unveiled its silent killer, the GeForce GTS 450 ZONE Edition. This card is primarily aimed at those who want to get the look of DirextX 11 completely silent. For this target group, this is a great choice, let’s see why!

The ZOTAC GeForce GTS 450 Zone Edition has been given the GeForce GTS 450 graphics processor with a special passive heatsink. This is an exclusive ZOTAC solution in which a rib of aluminum slats based on a copper heat pipe system on the fanless card with two slots is responsible for the quiet operation of the graphics core.

The constructors have tried to meet the needs of users who want more serious graphics performance, but of course all this without noise. This is a very serious challenge, as higher visual performance usually results in significant heat generation and although the rib dissipates heat from the immediate surface of the core, it remains between the lamellae in the absence of proper in-house air circulation, doing more damage than good.

ZOTAC’s director of marketing believes they have managed to find a balance between 3D performance and energy savings with this card without the need for noise-intensive and energy-intensive fans.

The ZOTAC GeForce GTS 450 ZONE Edition can also be the perfect choice for building home cinema desktops thanks to its 1080p HDMI output, which can also output Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, of course if the system you want to connect is also has the support of these delicacies. Thanks to hardware acceleration, playback of high-definition Blu-ray 3D videos also goes smoothly.

The card operates at 600/1200 MHz, supported by 1 GB of DDR3 memory at 1333 MHz. Of course, in addition to HDMI, you can also find the traditional Displayport and DVI connector on the back. We do not yet have information on the end-user price of the card.
