Zotac GTX 280 'Amp' Edition

2008/07/12

Having tested the Zotac GTX 260 'Amp' Edition and seeing the impressive scores it gave us, I can't wait to get started on this one. The most striking feature of this card is the 700MHz core clock compared to the stock speed of 602MHz. That's a 16% boost in performance right out of the box. The 'XXX' edition from XFX that we reviewed earlier had a core clock of 670MHz and while it performed well, the price was atrocious.

Zotac have recently established their base in India and they are pricing their products rather aggressively which is good for us gamers. The GTX 280 'Amp' Edition looks very promising given its higher clock speeds compared to the rest. Given the specs, this seems like the fastest card out there. Couple this with Zotac's 5yr 1-to-1 swap warranty and you've got yourself a killer deal. More on this in the full review coming up shortly.
