Until NVIDIA finally decides to go official with its next-generation graphics cards, gaming users can still make plenty of use of the company's current GeForce lineup. And, if any of you have been trying to get a new graphics card, maybe what you're looking for is one of Zotac's recently released GeForce 9800 GTX-based products.

Dubbed GeForce 9800 GTX ZONE Edition, this Zotac
graphics card has been designed to bring high-performance graphics to desktop computer users. Naturally, because it is based on NVIDIA's 9800 GTX GPU, the card will ultimately deliver high-quality graphics for any gaming user, as it comes with full support for DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1. Even more, since any high-end graphics card designed for gaming is bound to come factory overclocked, Zotac's offer makes no exception to the rule. Moreover, it also comes with a water-cooling solution, designed to maintain an adequate thermal level.

"Many enthusiasts seek better cooling performance and quieter operation from their graphics card cooler through third party vendors, but maintaining low noise with high-performance using air-cooling solutions is a hard task," said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International (MCO) Ltd. "With our ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX ZONE Edition, customers can have the high performance and quiet operation of water-cooling without the hassles of regular maintenance or installation, which often voids the factory graphics card warranty." he added.

As mentioned above, the card comes factory overclocked and offers a GPU speed of 700 MHz, with the shaders and memory clocked at 1700 MHz and 2250 MHz, respectively. With the card's built-in liquid cooling technology, users can benefit from all the graphics power Zotac succeeded to squeeze from the GeForce 9800 GTX.

Unfortunately, the company's press release did not reveal any details on the card's price tag or on when it will become available in stores.
