Zotac Introduces GeForce GTX 750 Ti Thunderbolt GPU
Zotac's new 'Thunderbolt' named graphics card has no Thunderbolt, but is very fast!
Zotac has released a graphics card with a rather intriguing name – the GeForce GTX 750 Ti Thunderbolt. The fact that the name includes "Thunderbolt" is interesting, specifically because no part of the card actually has a thunderbolt interface; it's just marketing, so you'll have to forgive us for the misleading title.
The graphics card features a perfectly ordinary PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface, and a completely normal DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. The GPU aboard is clocked with a base frequency of 1229 MHz and has a 1320 MHz boost frequency. Memory is clocked at an effective speed of 6.0 GHz.
The cooler on the unit is built using heat pipes, a large aluminum fin array, and a partially metallic shroud along with two 90 mm cooling fans. Pricing is expected to be set at 1199 Yuan, or roughly $190. Unfortunately, this highly-clocked GTX 750 Ti card won't be coming to the U.S. market.

thundervore I always wanted a Zotac GPU but now I think MSI have surpassed them. I remember back in the day when Zotac was the only brand on the market that gave you more video outputs that you knew what to do with which was awesome as other brands were just giving you 2 DVI or a DVI and a VGA lol. Now everyone gives at least 4 video outputs so the Zotac boat has sailed and I missed it.Reply -
frank the tank I was hoping from the title that zotac made a thunderbolt external 750TI for use in laptops. i think the idea would work great for ultrabook and laptop gamers.Reply -
jasonelmore yeah the title is un-needably mis-leading. it should have said, "Zotac Release's new 750Ti called Thunderbolt"Reply -

random753 They will sell a lot of those to people who think they are buying a Thunderbolt enabled card. I am surprised a well known company would do that. They will have to decide if the extra profit is worth the complaints and returns and damage to the integrity of the company.Reply -
Yearlaren I can't believe you guys mix up GPU and Graphics Card. Zotac can't make a GPU. Nvidia does them. Zotac uses them to manufacture graphics cards.Reply -
nirdes Well, the writer is forgiven for the misleading title ;-D. But I gotta say, this is hilarious. I opened this article solely because of the title. A card based on thunderbolt interface sounded fascinating indeed.Reply
