Zotac is known for overclocked video cards (mostly NVIDIA-based) and, although the company is relatively new to the market, it seems it’s selling pretty well. To mark this achievement, Zotac now aims to diversify its product array. So, instead of presenting yet another oc-ed card at the Games Convention this year, Zotac came with a sort of innovative device designed for overclockers.


According to Fudzilla, the Nitro overclocking device allows gamers to overclock their cards in real time, without having to use the infamous al-tab key combination and leave their games. The overclocking procedure is dead simple: you just press one of three keys located at the front of the device. Those three buttons will allow you to overclock the GPU, memory and even the shaders clock.

Zotac Nitro can also act as a hardware monitor, showing the current clocks of the card, its temperature and the fan speed. The product showed at GC ’08 was not finalized. The final version could also include a customizable display screen at the bottom part of the LCD screen.

Apparently, Nitro will be released in October and will work with Zotac’s cards, possibly with other NVIDIA-powered cards. At first, the device is going to sold separately, but Zotac says they could later bundle it with premium graphics packages. Nitro is set to be available for $99.
