Zotac Zbox-ID31DVD-Plus

1 comments
           The smallest PCs are some of the sexiest. But they’re also the most challenging for DIYers to build, generally a result of diminutive form factors with limited thermal headroom. Zotac’s line of Zbox mini PCs is designed to enable plenty of hardware choices while maintaining consistently tiny enclosures. Alright, so Zotac’s Zbox-ID31DVDPlus isn’t really a DIY kit. But even with your favorite Mini-ITX motherboard and chassis, it’d be nearly impossible to build a PC this small and attractive. The very inclusive package is composed of a 1.8GHz dual-core Atom processor, Nvidia’s second-gen Ion chipset (with its own 512MB pool of memory), 1GB of DDR2 system memory, a 250GB hard drive, a DVD player, and wired/
wireless networking. Really, the only thing left for you to install is software. This would be an amazingly quiet platform for watching movies in a theater room; the big omission, though, is a Blu-ray drive. Instead, the installed DVD/ CD burner limits you to standard-def physical media. PlayStation 3s can be had for less, and with Blu-ray functionality. Instead of doing home-theater duties, then, the Zbox-ID31DVD-Plus is perhaps best suited as an inconspicuous mainstream desktop. Web browsing, word processing, email—they’re all satisfactory under Windows 7. Zotac even bundles a VESA mount with the mini PC, letting you affix it to the back of your favorite display. Nvidia’s graphics chip is frankly too anemic for hardcore gaming, but it’s an option for many mainstream situations. Here’s the great thing about Zotac’s Zbox lineup. If you don’t like this model’s specs, the company has 25 other options. Some have AMD Fusion-based CPUs, Celerons, Pentiums, more memory, and yes, even Blu-ray drives.

Zotac AMP! GeForce GTX 550 Ti Review

0 comments
Geforce GTX 550 Ti is based on Nvidia GF116 Codename. Zotac got 2 cards from GF116 there are; a vanilla version with a custom cooler at stock settings and an overclocked AMP! version, which is cooler version and really make me impress. Talking can’t make you believe than let see the result.

AMP! GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Zotac
 
            As we’ve come to expect, Zotac’s custom cooler is an attractive offering that blends matte black plastic with patches of yellow metal mesh. A central fan resides on a sizeable chunk of aluminum, which lets Zotac crank the core clocks way up. The stock GeForce GTX 550 Ti has a core clock of 900MHz, but Zotac brought the AMP!’s up to 1GHz. The memory clock was also tweaked, from 1,025MHz to 1,100MHz. The GF116 features 192 CUDA cores, 32 texture units, 24 ROPs, and a memory subsystem that consists of a 192-bit memory bus and 1GB of GDDR5.
The card gets power from a single 6-pin PCI Express connector, and the backplane features a pair of DVI connectors, an HDMI port, and a DisplayPort. In the box, Zotac threw in a DVIto- VGA adapter, a 6-pin PCI-E power adapter, and a driver disc that includes the Zotac Boost Premium software bundle, which consists of the Cooliris browser plug-in, XBMC, Kylo browser for HTPCs, and CUDA-accelerated demos of vReveal and Nero Vision Xtra.


In the benchmarks, that extra 100MHz core clock propels Zotac’s AMP! GeForce GTX 550Ti to a sizeable lead over a stock clocked GTX 550 Ti in 3DMark and roughly 2fps faster in the DX11 games. For a $15 premium, this card is one of the fastest GTX 550 Ti cards you’ll find.
