With the vast selection of graphics cards on the market today choosing one is never going to be easy. This is made particularly difficult when you consider the fact that so many new games come out demanding ever higher specifications. In fact i myself have had many different cards in a surprisingly short space of time for just this reason - only a few cards come to mind that actually offered enough additional performance to allow me to sit back and enjoy games over a longer period of time.
Today we'll see if the Zotac GTX 285 AMP! Edition we have here is one of those cards.



Zotac says:

ZOTAC International (MCO) Limited was established in 2006 with a mission to deliver superb quality of NVIDIA graphic solutions to the industry. It has strong backup from parent group, PC Partner Ltd. Headquartered in Hong Kong, factory in Mainland China and regional sales offices in Europe, Asia Pacific and North America. The support ZOTAC provides is currently the largest of its kind around the world.

In addition, ZOTAC has over 130 R&D professionals in Hong Kong, China and warranty and service center in strategic countries to enable effective and efficient worldwide as well as localized sales and marketing supports.

Zotac are a fairly young company in comparison with many of the other graphic card manufacturers out there. Hopefully the GTX 285 AMP! Edition will not disappoint.
