ZOTAC Announces a New Budget nVidia GPU – The GT 440 Series Stephen Fung February 1, 2011 Press Release It’s hard to compete with great cards based on the nVidia GeForce GTX 460 and the latest sweet spot GPU, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, when it comes to great bang for the buck performance. Howeer, not everyone can spend in the $200 range for a respectable graphics card for gaming. But apparently, not everyone is into games so that’s why there are cards that use less muscle in the form of the GeForce GT 440 which comes in two flavours: 1GB and 512MB. ZOTAC has put out a model for each memory amount and have emblazoned it with their signature Halloween color scheme of black and orange. Based on the specs and capabilities, this looks like a great HTPC card due to its short length and power requirements. It’d be even better if it was passively cooled though but I’m sure that someone thought of that already and is working on a “ZONE” edition. Press release and pics are posted below.
