Manila, Philippines -- ZOTAC International (MCO) Ltd. announces the new ZOTAC GeForce 8800 GT and GeForce 8800 GT AMP! Edition graphics cards with HDMI audio and video output capabilities. The new ZOTAC GeForce 8800 GT and GeForce 8800 GT AMP! Edition with HDMI output features S/PDIF audio input to connect to any sound card.

ZOTAC includes all necessary adapters and cables in the package for easy HDMI connectivity. The ZOTAC GeForce 8800 GT and GeForce 8800 GT AMP! Edition include a DVI-to-HDMI adapter and S/PDIF audio input cables. “With our new ZOTAC GeForce 8800 GT and GeForce 8800 GT AMP! Edition, we further differentiate ourselves from our competitors,” Carsten Berger, marketing director, said. " Our unique PCB design with HDMI audio and video output features are a ZOTAC exclusive that provides greater value and exclusivity to our graphics cards.”

HDMI audio and video output is a unique ZOTAC feature to its GeForce 8 series of graphics card. No other NVIDIA AIC, or add-in card, partner implements this feature across its entire GeForce 8 series product lineup. Coupled with PureVideo HD technology, the ZOTAC GeForce 8800 GT and GeForce 8800 GT AMP! Edition deliver the ultimate multimedia experience. HDMI technology allows users to connect PCs to high-definition television sets with a single cable, delivering high-definition surround sound audio and video with resolutions up to 1080p.

PureVideo HD technology scales video in the highest quality up to resolutions of 2560x1600 – from standard and high-definition file formats -- while preserving the details of the original content. PureVideo HD technology also accelerates high-definition video decode, freeing up CPU cycles while watching high-definition Blu-ray and HD DVD movies or other VC-1 and H.264 encoded file formats.

ZOTAC GeForce 8800 GT
ZOTAC raised the performance bar with its GeForce 8800 GT -- delivering an unparalleled gaming experience. The ZOTAC GeForce 8800 GT is highly tuned to deliver the best performance from the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphics processor.
