ZOTAC already seems to have a graphics card designed specially to fit into every conceivable scenario, but it's leaving no stone unturned and is today launching its GeForce 9600 GT LP - a low-profile derivative of NVIDIA's GPU designed exclusively for small-form-factor users.

The trimmed-down card, pictured below, ships with both full-height and low-profile brackets, and brings NVIDIA's PureVideo HD video acceleration to confined spaces.

Unusually for a card of its nature, ZOTAC's GeForce 9600 GT LP features a GPU pre-overclocked to 675MHz - up from the standard 650MHz. That's joined by 64 stream processors clocked at a reference 1,650MHz and 512MB of GDDR3 memory running at an effective 1,800MHz.

Connectivity options on the full-height bracket include VGA, HDMI and DVI. For low-profile installations, users have a choice of two brackets - one providing a single VGA output, whilst the other sports DVI and HDMI.

No word on pricing yet, but it'll be backed by ZOTAC's extended warranty when it reaches retail.

Top marks to Zotac for this one, got to be comfortably the most powerful low-profile graphics card yet. Deserves to do very well I think - would definitely be on my list if I was building a HTPC :rockon2:
If only it was passive, then it would be perfect :)

Good work though Zotac.

Indeed - I wonder how much noise that woefully-small-looking fan makes under load…

Otherwise a good product concept though: I wonder how long before we see a low profile 4670 from one of ATI's partners…
tbf when your underload your probs doing somethin that would drown out the noise any fan liek that would make anyway. A few ZOTAC products have caught my eye recently well done guys :mrgreen:

Bah, how big could they have made it and still be low profile.

Much as I dislike Nvidia's current power hungry generations of cards I have to say Job Well Done to Zotac on this…. fits a niche very well
