They will all be released at the Consumer Electronics Show

With the yearly trade show just around the corner, everyone who's anyone on the consumer electronics and PC market are putting the last touches on the product collections expected to be put on display in Las Vegas. Zotac is numbered among them.

Unlike other companies that have been rationing their CES announcements so far, or grouping them by type, Zotac has shown itself to be quite a bit more expedient.

Which is to say, its pre-CES press release specified all the products you can expect to see at its booth in the USA. Well, all the new products anyway.

There are two mini PCs and a new graphics card. Although the company does specify both high-end Maxwell boards, so it could be four products. The cards have the same new things though, so it's only a new design blueprint you get to see.

The board is colored black more or less fully and has a dual-slot cooling module with three fans, as well as a pair of 6-pin power connectors.

The stock press photos show the power inputs to be a bit crooked, and we hope it's just an isolated thing instead of what every card is like. Though the idea that a stock board like this one used in press photos would show such a lapse in quality control is pretty hilarious.

Oh well. As long as it works, we won't nitpick too much about it. We're more interested in the performance anyway, but alas we don't know what it is. Same for the GTX 970, which will probably look the same. Zotac is obviously holding off until the actual trade show next week (January 6 – 9).

Based on a dual-core Intel CPU, these computers have Gigabit LAN, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and support for dual-channel RAM, as well as any storage device you might like (HDD, SSDs, HHD/SSHD).

ZOTAC ZBOX CI321 is the new model that will be added to the series, but its specs have been withheld, though you'll be the one to decide most of them upon order, so there's that.

The new computers will add NVIDIA G-Sync technology support, though it's odd the certification is even needed considering that this is more something that a monitor needs to have built in, not the PC. Presumably it's because of using a laptop discrete GPU from NVIDIA, since only they and their desktop counterparts have G-Sync to begin with.
