ZOTAC GeForce GTX 660 Destroyer DTC Graphics Card Pictured

btarunr · Dec 7, 2012, 04:28 AM

ZOTAC released pictures of its upcoming GeForce GTX 660 Destroyer DTC (dual-traction cooling) graphics card for the Greater China region. The sporty-looking dual-slot cooler uses a dense aluminum fin array to which heat from the GPU is conveyed by 8 mm-thick copper heat pipes, and which is ventilated by two 90 mm fans spinning in the opposite directions. The GTX 660 Destroyer DTC features a high-grade VRM that draws power from 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connectors. Like most à la carte ZOTAC products for China, it will ship with rather small factory-overclock, but with large overclocking headroom. It's likely that ZOTAC targets the pre- Lunar New Year (Jan-Feb) shopping season in the region.

I love these naming schemes they come up with. "Destroyer"... Really?
Requiring an 8-pin and 6-pin is interesting for this card.

In this part of the world, people only have so much to spend on a graphics card. So whoever packages their product better wins. All these bells and whistles must have cost Zotac $1.

Looking at it from that angle I can see your point.

Why Zotac loves chinese market so much?

Becuase PCPARTNER.

That's why you have cards such as the HD7870 TOXIC from Sapphire

The fans spin in opposite directions. Thats interested. I wonder if it actually does anything besides look cool. If it did I would think every manufacturer would be doing it.

Overall it's probably cheaper to have 2 fans going the same direction, because otherwise it requires you to manufacture or purchase a fan differently to generic design, granted we're talking pennies probably, and if it is identical cooling performance, it's not worth spending the extra pennies for a gimmicky fan the spins the other way with alternate fin placement.
