Alright so I was planning on getting Crysis... till later I find out that my current GPU just would not cut it. So I set out to see all of the minimal system requirements that would be able to handle the game. Of course all this is being done while I?m on a budget; I didn?t really find anything that was worth buying at the time of Crysis being out. The 8800GT had not been out yet, but I was told if I waited at the time that it would be out in a couple of months or so (give or take a few)?and boy was I happy to wait because, at the time when it did come out I found out that Zotac, a company that had barley been known to the USA had a card that did some serous gamming I mean all of the forums had reviews on this company and its new 8800GT AMP edition. This is the card the people all over in the UK and Germany and escpiacally China were talking about. Sadly I could not purchase the card here in the USA since the company was based in China. So I sent them an email and luckily I found out that Zotac was expanding worldwide, by January of 2008 Zotac had over 45 models to offer to the USA. I was able to purchase 2 8800GT AMP editions. And let me tell l you I am extremely happy that I got them they are the best cards I have ever had in my life. I have been gamming for quite some time and I have used everything from BFG, EVGA, Gainward, PNY, XFX, Foxconn, Asus, and MSI and Gigabyte. I just turned it on and played Crysis for the first time without my old XFX 6800 AGP?LOL?I was blown away with the quality of the card. It literally OWNED every other vendor I had ever used. The specs were just as good as Asus?s and EVGA?s and Zotac?s was Cheaper? I did a lot of research when I was looking for a GPU and I mean a lot I found a lot of good reviews of the Zotac 8800GT AMP edition. Here are a couple of the first ones that I ever saw that blew me away.

There are a lot of reviews for that particular card?even if you?re not planning on getting a high end or even the 8 Series I recommend checking out Zotac?s different series of Nvidia based GPU?s, they have also just recently launched a new site...and they are getting into the motherboard scene offering only Nvidia based Chipsets with support for Intel and AMD?But there still picking things up in that area as far as motherboards. That?s based on their new site they just launched. Well from my point of view I think that Zotac has proved themselves.
