14 DAY TRIAL // Though the GTS 450 has been, more or less, the focus of video card makers recently, the GTX 460 is still very much on their minds, and Zotac has just announced the GTX 460 3DP, where 3DP stands for three DisplayPort outputs.
As end-users know, the NVIDIA GeForce, GTX 460 is the DirectX Fermi video board meant for the upper level of the mainstream market.
Most custom-made GeForce GTX 460 cards, so far, have been either stock-clocked or factory overclocked versions of NVIDIA's original.
These boards, more or less, stuck to the PCB design and only played with the clocks of the GPU, memory and shaders, leaving everything else, for the most part, unchanged, except for the cooler of course.
Now, however, Zotac has announced that it has developed an iteration of the GTX 460 which has different output options, in the shape of one DVI and three DisplayPort connectors.
This will let it support even four monitors at the same time, while the slightly tweaked clocks will ensure that the card runs smoothly even in such scenarios.
The board has the GF104 graphics processing unit clocked at 710 MHz, whereas the 1GB of GDDR5 and the shaders run at 3,600 MHz and 1,420 MHz, respectively.
The card also comes with the 336 CUDA cores and 256-bit memory interface that NVIDIA designed it with, plus a dual-slot cooler.
Other specifications include support for NVIDIA CUDA technology, PhysX, OpenGL 4.0 and 3D Vision.
"Quadruple-display computing is becoming more popular for gaming and office use,” said Carsten Berger, marketing director, Zotac International.
“With the new Zotac GeForce GTX 460 3DP we can deliver quadruple-display computing with Nvidia Fermi architecture from a single graphics card, a world's first," Berger added.
According to the press release, the product is bundled with the Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands computer game. Unfortunately, pricing details are still undisclosed.
