ZOTAC GTX 670 Amp Edition Review & Benchmarks

There’s nothing sleek or classy about the design, infact ZOTAC has gone with a hardcore, vulgar design choice, which we quite like to be honest. There’s a skinny metal plate on the front covering the heatsink's copper heatpipes that sprout out from the top. While this set-up certainly looks bad ***, the one problem is that is occupies a three slot in your cabinet, which can be an issue, if you have a sound card or anything else installed. We ran into a problem where the heatsink would collide against the SATA cables, since our motherboard has the ports facing upwards, rather than outwards.

For connectivity, we have two DVI ports, HDMI and a DisplayPort. There are vents above the ports, but due to the open nature of the card, the hot air will mostly be dispersed in the chassis itself, rather than directly outside. As usual, ZOTAC gives you a very satisfying bundle with all the cables, drivers, a game pack (TrackMania 2) and 5 year warranty.

Since this is the overclocked edition, the core speed has been bumped up to 1.09GHz and the Boost clock set to 1.17GHz. This is quite a healthy overclock out-of-the-box from 915MHz and Boost clock of 980MHz. The memory remains 2GB GDDR5, but the frequency has increased to 6.6GHz. Rest of the features remain pretty much the same as the reference card we reviewed, which includes Adaptive Vertical Sync, FXAA, TXAA and 3DVision Surround.

Current Prize at Amazon is $467.
