Zotac GeForce GTX 280 AMP
The Geforce 9 had a really short stay and NVIDIA has released the GTX 280 around the same time that ATI launched their first card.
Zotac was the first to send us their over-clocked version of the GTX 280 that they proudly call the GTX 280 AMP! These new cards are crossing uncharted territories. The Zotac GTX 280 AMP runs at a core speed of 700 MHz instead of the default 602 MHz. most numbers on the new card have been doubled from what was on the last 9800 GTX. The memory bandwidth has been increased to 512 bit and there is 1 GB of memory on the card. An 8 pin and 6 pin power connectors is required to power the GTX 280 AMP.
It’s just not all about the numbers. The GTX 280 absolutely destroys all previous records held by single cards. To give you an idea the Zotac GTX 280 AMP is about 50 to 75 per cent faster than the colossal 8800 Ultra in most benchmarks.
