New ZOTAC GeForce® 9600GT LP delivers 64 high-performance stream processors in a low-profile form factor
HONG KONG – Mar. 31, 2009 – ZOTAC International, an award winning manufacturing of graphics cards and motherboards, today unleashes a new high-performance graphics card fit for low-profile applications – the new ZOTAC GeForce® 9600GT LP. The ZOTAC GeForce® 9600GT LP delivers intense 3D visuals and breathtaking 3D performance to small form factor system users with limited expansion capabilities. Powered by 64 stream processors, the ZOTAC GeForce® 9600GT LP is ready to take on the latest DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1, NVIDIA® CUDA™ and PhysX™ enabled 3D games and applications. A wide 256-bit memory interface joins the 64 stream processors to 512MB of high-speed GDDR3 video memory for phenomenal performance at high-resolutions and high levels of anti-aliasing for smooth frame rates and jagged-free visuals.
“Small form factor systems are becoming more popular nowadays with the advent of low power systems and slick designs; however, small form factor systems are limited in terms of expansion capabilities and typically require low-profile expansion cards. Our new ZOTAC GeForce® 9600GT LP enables small form factor system owners to upgrade their systems to GeForce 9-class graphics with CUDA™ and PhysX™ technologies for high-performance 3D graphics,” said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International.
CUDA™ technology enables the ZOTAC GeForce® 9600GT LP to go beyond gaming graphics to enable everyday applications to harness the power of the graphics processor. With CUDA™ technology, image and video editing, distributed computing and video transcoding tasks can be accelerated using the graphics processor for greater performance than quad-core processors.
“CUDA™ technology is being adopted by major software developers such as Adobe and Elemental Technologies. Popular applications such as Adobe® Photoshop, Premiere and Elemental Technologies Badaboom are able to harness the power of the ZOTAC GeForce® 9600GT LP to speed up processing performance,” Mr. Berger added.
NVIDIA® PureVideo™ HD technology enables smooth high-definition video playback with hardware-decode acceleration for low CPU utilization. PureVideo HD video processing algorithms deinterlace, scale and enhance standard-definition content to near-high-definition levels of visual quality for vivid images that users wondering if its standard-definition content being viewed.
The ZOTAC GeForce® 9600GT LP is backed by an extended warranty, with user registration. With the ZOTAC Extended Warranty, customers can expect long-term and hassle-free reliability from the GeForce® 9600GT LP.

Chaintech GeForce 9600 GT 512MB Overclocking Edition Review
June 13, 2008 by Cabro · Leave a Comment
There’s gotta be a weakness with this card. It seems too perfect. It’s available at a primo price: under $150. It plays impressively well every game I threw at it. It’s quiet. It sips power. It costs less than a hundred fifty dollars. It’s good at video playback. It’s so cheap.
Everyone recommends the GeForce 9600 GT first, and they should. It’s got a price-to-performance ratio unlike any card before. I’m not exaggerating. This card could very well be the best deal NVIDIA has ever put to market. I spent a day with Chaintech’s factory-overclocked card…
And I found a couple things I didn’t like. Deal breakers? Hardly.
NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Round-up: PNY, MSI, ASUS
June 13, 2008 by Cabro · Leave a Comment
NVIDIA’s GeForce 9 Series was first introduced in February of this year by way of the 9600 GT launch. Admittedly, we thought it was interesting to see a new GeForce series launch, not with the flagship card, but rather with a new midrange offering. It makes perfect sense, though, considering that more people can afford midrange cards than can afford high-end, flagship cards. Since this launch, NVIDIA has added to the GeForce 9 Series by introducing the dual-GPU GeForce 9800 GX2 and the GeForce 9800 GTX. So far, the GeForce 9 Series seems to be another successful line from the NVIDIA camp.
In this article, we are going to expand our coverage of the GeForce 9600 GT by doing another round-up of three retail cards: the PNY Verto 9600 GT, the MSI N9600GT OC, and the ASUS EN9600GT SILENT. As you might expect, all three of these cards sport 512MB of GDDR3 and a 256-bit memory interface. What you may not expect is how different these three cards actually are. Two feature custom coolers, one of which is passive, making it silent. Because of these custom coolers, these two cards are dual-slot solutions while the third uses the single-slot reference cooler. Only one of them ships with a factory overclock while the other two utilize NVIDIA’s reference clocks. We are eager to see how these three cards compare when it comes to performance, noise and heat. Let’s jump right in and take a look at the specifications of all three side-by-side.
