The factory-overclocked Geforce 480 AMP! Edition beats the Radeon HD 6970 in almost all benchmarks, and works more effective in DirectX 11 applications. Additional advantages the ZOTAC card has with the ultra quiet Zalman cooler that keeps the temperature of the GTX 480 on an acceptable level. Only the power consumption disturbs the overall picture. All in all, the ZOTAC GTX 480 AMP! earns our price-performance award.

Even at the maximum fan speed, the cooler was still quieter than some other reference coolers I have heard. When tested at 44% fan speed, however, the card wa
