cores

Press Release Body: Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 17, 2008 – ZOTAC
International, a leading manufacturer of NVIDIA-based graphics cards today enhances
its award-winning GeForce GTX 260² and GeForce GTX 260 AMP²! Edition with 24
additional processor cores for a total of 216. The new enhanced ZOTAC GeForce GTX
260² and GeForce GTX 260 AMP²! Edition delivers performance that obliterates the
competition.

“We sought to squeeze extra performance from the NVIDIA GTX 260 graphics processor.
By adding 24 additional processor cores, we saw performance gains up to 10-percent
in the latest DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1 and CUDA enabled 3D games and software
applications,” said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International.

Powered by 2nd Generation NVIDIA Unified Architecture, the 216-processor cores in
the enhanced ZOTAC GeForce GTX 260² and GeForce GTX 260 AMP²! Edition deliver
greater efficiency with up to 50-percent performance increases over the previous
generation architecture for blazing-fast performance and brilliant visuals.

Feeding the powerful 216-processor cores is 896MB of screaming-fast GDDR3 graphics
memory that communicates with the GTX 260 GPU via a 448-bit wide memory bus for
phenomenal communication speeds that’s ready to take on extreme high-definition
gaming.

NVIDIA PhysX technology enables the new enhanced ZOTAC GeForce GTX 260² and GeForce
GTX 260 AMP²! Edition with absolute immersion in the latest PhysX enabled titles.
NVIDIA PhysX technology enables the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 260² and GeForce GTX 260 AMP²!
Edition to dedicate some of its massive graphics processing power to render
realistic physics effects for a life-like in-game interactivity.

“NVIDIA PhysX technology is the future of gaming. We’ve advanced so far in terms of
how life-like games appear visually, but interactivity is still slightly behind.
PhysX technology will address that, enabling gamers to experience in-game realism
like never before,” Mr. Berger added.

If one enhanced ZOTAC GeForce GTX 260² or GeForce GTX 260 AMP²! Edition isn’t
enough; the cards support NVIDIA SLI technology to increase performance by adding
additional enhanced ZOTAC GeForce GTX 260² or GeForce GTX 260 AMP²! Editions.
