Zotac is at it again. They’re working hard to ensure a solid line of great products for every user with whatever GPU they bring to the market. Let me introduce you to the GeForce GTS 450 ZONE Edition.

Using a completely passive cooling, this GeForce GTS 450 brings you plenty of power from its 192 shader cores without making a peep. You can enjoy everything from 1080p Blu-ray playback with hardware acceleration to 3D movie support, and all with bit-streaming lossless Dolby Digital TrueHD DTS audio. While not the powerhouse some of its bigger brothers are, the GeForce GTS 450 is no pushover. When you are not enjoying your 1080p movies, you can enjoy your games as well. Native support for HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort and support for VGA via provided adapter right out of the box.

Pricing and availability were not provided, but I expect this to be available soon at just over $139.99 US which is the price of the non ZONE version of the GPU.
