ZOTAC Embraces All High-Resolution Connections on Graphics Cards

HONG KONG – Oct. 2, 2009 – ZOTAC International, a leading manufacturer of graphics cards and motherboards, today announces the world’s first graphics card manufacturer with a full-range of graphics cards with all high-resolution connectivity. All newly manufactured ZOTAC GeForce® GTS 250, 9, and 8400GS series graphics cards will eliminate legacy TV output ports for HDMI.

“ZOTAC is always leading the way with our graphics cards. As new displays are shedding old connections, it’s the perfect time for us to move ahead do the same,” said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International.

By eliminating the legacy TV output port, all newly manufactured ZOTAC graphics cards feature HDMI, dual-link DVI and VGA outputs for high-resolution connections to monitors and televisions. ZOTAC GeForce® GTS 250, 9 and 8400GS series graphics cards with HDMI output also have a S/PDIF audio input to route audio from a sound card or onboard high-definition audio for simultaneous audio and video output over a single HDMI cable for simplistic connectivity to the latest displays and audio receivers.

“ZOTAC was the first graphics card manufacturer to include DVI-to-HDMI adapters and S/PDIF audio input throughout its entire lineup in the early days of HDMI connectivity. Now that HDMI is becoming a default standard for monitors and televisions, it was an obvious forwards-looking move,” Mr. Berger said.
