Zotac has updated its webstore with the listing of three new ZBOX mini PCs based on Intel's "Wildcat Lake" platform. According to FanlessTech, who first spotted these mini PCs, this marks one of the first instances of passively-cooled mini PCs using Intel "Wildcat Lake" SoCs. There are three models in total: the CI431 nano, CI451 nano, and CI471 nano. They all share a passively cooled chassis measuring 204 × 129 × 68 mm, with a volume of 1.79 liters. The entry-level CI431 nano features a Core 3 304 processor with 1 P-Core and 4 low-power E-Cores, totaling five cores and five threads, and boost speeds reaching 4.3 GHz. The CI451 nano is equipped with a Core 5 320, while the CI471 nano has a Core 7 350. Both of these models feature 2 P-Cores and 4 low-power E-Cores, providing six cores and six threads, with maximum clock speeds of 4.6 GHz and 4.8 GHz, respectively.

Intel specifies 6 MB of Smart Cache, 15 W base power, and 35 W maximum turbo power for all three processors, which are manufactured using its 18A process. The graphics capabilities differ between models: the Core 3 has one Xe-core running at up to 2.3 GHz, while the Core 5 and Core 7 have two Xe-cores running at up to 2.5 GHz and 2.6 GHz, respectively. Their integrated NPUs deliver up to 15, 16, and 17 TOPS, respectively. Each system supports up to 64 GB of DDR5-6400 memory through one SO-DIMM slot, along with an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD.

Three airport workers have reportedly been identified as the people behind the disappearance of two pallets of ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5090 cards from Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil, and at least one of those cards has already popped up for sale online. The shipment belonged to Oderço, a distributor based in Maringá, which imported the cards from the US and puts their cost at around R$2.5 million (roughly $470,000). According to a police report filed by the airport operator, two outsourced forklift operators moved the pallets out of the cargo terminal's warehouse on September 21, which security cameras recorded, while a third employee, a checker, released the goods in the electronic system so they could get past the airport's controls. The cards were then loaded onto a truck and haven't been seen since.

Apparently, one of them later turned up on OLX for R$32,000 (about $6,000), and Brazil's Jornal da Band reported that its serial number matched one of the imported cards. The listing has since been pulled, and it's not clear who posted it or whether that person was involved. There's no word on arrests either. Oderço's president, Oderço Matos, said two pallets don't just vanish on their own inside an international airport. GPU shipments have gone missing before, including containers of MSI RTX 3090 cards and a truck full of EVGA cards. However, this haul is worth a lot more on the street right now, with some RTX 5090 listings going for well past $8,000 as the card remains in heavy demand for AI workloads.

At Gamescom, ZOTAC unveiled the newly released ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5080 SOLID CORE OC 20th Anniversary Edition. Celebrating 20 years of Zotac, this special edition is limited to 2,000 units worldwide, with specific quantities allocated to local markets. For example, in Germany, there is an allocation of 200 units, all of which are exclusively sold through domestic retailer Alternate.de. Interestingly, the Anniversary Edition retails for €20 less than the regular edition at Alternate.de.

Beyond its unique packaging, the Anniversary Edition features two distinctive elements: a magnetically attached secondary backplate with a mirror-like finish and the ZOTAC GAMING DUO ARGB GPU Support Stand, which was previously sold separately. These features are complemented by a unique titanium colorway, giving the otherwise understated SOLID CORE design a more distinctive look without making the card overly flashy. The large cooler remains a dominant feature, with its full-length heatsink, multiple heat pipes, and three-fan configuration designed to keep the RTX 5080 running smoothly under sustained loads. The backplate's reflective surface is particularly striking in person, adding a premium touch that photos can't quite capture.

According to VideoCardz, both entry-level graphics cards and PC monitors are heading for price increases in the second half of 2026. PC Partner Group, the company behind ZOTAC, Inno3D, and Manli, outlined the situation in its financial results published August 14. The company describes the PC market as "highly challenging," with limited GPU and graphics memory supply already cutting into shipments. PC Partner expects graphics memory prices to rise further, warning of a "substantial increase in VGA Card costs" in H2 2026. Graphics card shipments already dropped significantly in the first half compared to H2 2025, and supply is expected to tighten further. Entry-level cards are specifically the ones to see "even more severe shortages," which will likely push their average prices higher. PC Partner's graphics card business suffered an 18.4% drop in unit sales during the first half of 2026 due to component shortages. Revenue from ZOTAC, Inno3D, and Manli fell 9.2% year-over-year to HK$4.46 billion. However, the average selling price of these graphics cards increased 10.7%.

On the monitor side, KTC has warned customers that the prices across its lineup may be going up. Rising component costs have reached a point where the company says it can no longer absorb them internally. KTC hasn't specified which models will be affected or when changes will take effect, and says it's still negotiating with suppliers to delay increases as long as possible. For now, existing prices remain unchanged, but the company is effectively telling buyers that current pricing may not last. KTC isn't alone, AOC recently notified distributors of price adjustments starting in August, citing higher costs across panels, power components, and manufacturing. As a side note, according to TrendForce's latest market research, global OLED shipments grew 26.1% QoQ in 2Q26 with ASUS extending its lead over Samsung and MSI closing the gap.

ZOTAC Technology PTE. Limited, a leading global manufacturer of technology and PC gaming hardware, officially launches the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5080 SOLID CORE OC 20th Anniversary Edition today to commemorate the ZOTAC Brand's 20th Anniversary.

The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 50 Series is powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, bringing game-changing capabilities to gamers and creators. Equipped with a massive level of AI horsepower, the RTX 50 Series enables new experiences and next-level graphics fidelity. Multiply performance with NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, generate images at unprecedented speed, and unleash creativity with NVIDIA Studio. Plus, access NVIDIA NIM microservices - state-of-the-art AI models that let enthusiasts and developers build AI assistants, agents, and workflows with peak performance on NIM-ready systems.

We visited the ZBOX exclusive area of the ZOTAC booth, where we were greeted by the Magnus One Ultra (EU27508OC), the world's most compact prebuilt desktop with a desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card. This thing is about the size of a shoebox, with a total volume of just 11.46 liters, but crams some serious kit. There is a desktop GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card that runs at NVIDIA-reference clock speeds. At its heart is an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 processor (8P+12E, 65 W).

There are two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots capable of CSODIMMs (you add your own memory). There are also two M.2 NVMe slots, one is Gen 5, the other Gen 4 (you also add your own SSDs). Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7 160 MHz, Bluetooth 5.4, 5 GbE wired LAN, and two Thunderbolt 4 connectors. One of these has DisplayPort passthrough from the graphics card, the other from the processor's iGPU. Powering it all is an 850 W PSU that gives the RTX 5080 a 600 W-capable 12V-2x6 connection.

Here are some of the first pictures of the new 20th Anniversary Edition graphics cards by ZOTAC Gaming, based on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" GPUs. This year, ZOTAC is celebrating 20 years of being in business. The Hong Kong-based brand traces its origins to being an add-in card (AIC) vendor of NVIDIA GeForce gaming GPUs, but has since branched out into mini PCs, and is now making inroads to AI development platforms and servers. The 20th Anniversary Edition board design sees ZOTAC incorporate a titanium-looking color scheme, and introduce a special liquid-cooled board design.

First up, we have the GeForce RTX 5080 20th Anniversary Limited Edition. This card features a factory-fitted, full-coverage water block. The block manages to not look like an aftermarket fitment, and is highly integrated into ZOTAC's original product design, including its metal alloy shroud and backplate. The primary material is nickel-plated copper, with an acrylic top that has ARGB LEDs embedded. We expect ZOTAC to give this card its highest factory OC among its RTX 5080 series.

ZOTAC Technology, leader in innovation and high-performance hardware solutions, is joining COMPUTEX 2026, one of the largest, most anticipated technology exhibitions of the year. This year, ZOTAC celebrates its 20th Anniversary at the event by showcasing products both classic and new, as a nod to the Company's past and its outlook toward the future. As a member of the NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN) Program, the Company plans to illustrate its future product strategy: a full-range of computational offerings for every application, from Gaming, Local AI deployment, to Industrial and Enterprise-level high performance computing applications.

ZOTAC, as a brand historically focused on gaming, has come a long way since first starting to offer NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards, and was one of the first pioneers of the now ubiquitous Mini PC product category, known for novel designs that pushed compact computing to new levels. During the exhibition, ZOTAC will be looking back at the last 20 years, and present the Company's significant products that shaped the Company, while looking forward to new heights.

ZOTAC GAMING, a global leader in PC gaming hardware, is launching the ZOTAC GAMING ALLOY microATX computer case in select Asia Pacific regions.

ALLOY is The Brand's first-ever Computer Case catered to DIY PC enthusiasts looking for a relatively compact microATX (mATX) form factor and optimized cooling performance. Designed to match the distinctly robust and elegant design language of current generation ZOTAC GAMING products, the ALLOY is made with today's flagship GPUs in mind, enabling enthusiasts to build high-end, high-performance gaming PCs with ease.

Lately, North American customers have shared abject feedback on the internet, regarding frustrating Zotac GeForce RTX 50-series graphics card purchases. Last week, the reported end of NVIDIA's Open Price Program (OPP) likely caused widespread panic amongst hardcore and enthusiast PC DIY communities, leading to swift runs—in-person and online—on multiple retail outlets. The ongoing computer memory crisis has driven up prices across many market sectors—in particular, sharp inclines have affected supplies of GDDR6 and (even more costly) GDDR7 VRAM modules. Sensing a grim near future outlook, Zotac's South Korean office has briefed its local customer about an incoming storm of preposterously epic proportions.

Western news sites were alerted to this sympathetic announcement by harukaze5719—the tenured tracker of tech industry developments summarized part of Zotac SK's message: "(this) current situation threatens the very existence of (add-in-board partners) AIBs and distributors." Earlier today, the South Asian manufacturer's local office issued a major warning, via its official Tagtag Mall account. Starting off, Zotac Korea announced the end of a very minor percentage discount promo: "we recently announced a 2% savings rate. I'm so sorry to be giving you another notice of your savings after only one month. The current situation is so serious that it is worrisome for the future existence of graphics card manufacturers and distributors. They announced that memory supply will not be sufficient and that GPU supply will also be reduced. Additionally, some models will reportedly not be available for some time. Personally, I'm also concerned that it may be impossible for Samsung to secure a smooth supply of GPUs beyond those it can manufacture."

The suggested end of NVIDIA's Open Price Program (OPP) has seemingly caused a first set of ripples—affecting very recent buyers of custom GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards. Since the emergence of initial reports late last week, unfortunate feedback has been shared across online PC hardware communities. Angered individuals have expressed their frustration following the purchase of ASUS and Zotac products; with plenty of vitriol directed at the latter's alleged late January practices. The conclusion of OPP has deep ramifications for Team Green's add-in-card (AIC) partners, as they continue to struggle during a major computer memory supply crisis, compounded by supposedly reduced GPU die shipments. The program's reported end effectively cuts off subsidization from up on high, leading to an expectation of AICs passing costs onto mainstream customers. A particular "PC Gaming subreddit" thread placed multiple spotlights on the official North American Zotac webstore. The author tracked freshly adjusted RTX 5090 price tags reaching as much as $2999, and an RTX 5080 model's pricing settling at $1249, from a previous $999.

In general, approximate 20-22% hikes were observed later on in the week. Several commenters have described receiving order cancellation emails from Zotac's customer service department, not long after buying various custom GeForce RTX 50-series SKUs. Screenshot evidence shows a common excuse, with cancellations and (eventual) refunds being issued: "due to a system error that affected the processing of your purchase." In a separate thread, on the buildapcsales subreddit, a formerly (during a Micro Center sale) $749 Zotac GeForce 5070 Ti 16 GB model was showcased as becoming a much steeper $949 prospect. On that note, one lucky individual stated that they managed to acquire a PNY GeForce 5070 Ti card at MSRP ($749), just a day before the implementation of +$200 hikes. Replies indicate Walmart and Newegg's present-day cancellations of "Blackwell" gaming graphics card orders. At the time of writing, Zotac's North American webstore is not accessible, due to it being down for maintenance.

Zotac has silently unveiled the new MAGNUS EAMAX395C mini PC that will be equipped with AMD's Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 processor and come in the same compact 2.65-liter form factor. As it was the case with previous Zotac mini PC systems, the MAGNUS EAMAX series will be available as a barebone or a fully equipped system, and in addition to the Ryzen AI MAX+ 395, it will also be available in two other SKUs, with Ryzen AI MAX 390 and the Ryzen AI MAX 385.

AMD showcased its Ryzen AI Halo mini PC at the CES show, and plenty of other manufacturers are using the same Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 APU in their systems, from mini PCs, laptops, to handhelds. Zotac has been known to make pretty good mini PCs, so we are sure that the ZBOX MAGNUS EAMAX395C will be the same. In terms of specifications, you are looking at an AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 APU with Radeon 8060S integrated GPU and 128 GB of on-board LPDDR5X-8000 memory, which delivers up to 126 TOPS of AI performance.

EK by LM TEK is proud to introduce the EK-Pro GPU Zotac RTX 5090, a high-performance single-slot water block engineered for high-density AI server deployment and professional workstation applications. Designed exclusively for the ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 5090 Solid, this full-cover EK-Pro block actively cools the GPU core, VRAM, and VRM to deliver ultra-low temperatures and maximum performance.

Its single-slot design ensures maximum compute density, with quick-disconnect fittings for hassle-free maintenance and minimal downtime. The EK-Pro GPU Zotac RTX 5090 is now available to order at EK Shop.

Around mid-to-late October, Zotac introduced a pleasingly ultra-compact ZBOX MAGNUS EN275060TC barebones PC system. Back then, preview material focused on relatively potent Team Blue and Green hardware being bunged into a 2.65-liter chassis. Many tech enthusiasts were impressed by the Zotac engineering team's latest feat; mainly the fitting of desktop-class GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB graphics card into an extremely cramped interior. Some cork sniffers were less enthused by the manufacturer's choice of CPU—an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX model—due to the chip's mobile application origin. A true all-desktop-grade alternative is also lined up within Zotac's ZBOX MAGNUS product stack, but packaged in a larger enclosure: EU27507TC.

HKEPC has performed teardowns of Zotac's latest and greatest ZBOX MAGNUS systems, with the EN275060TC SKU receiving the most recent treatment. A gory feature article was published yesterday, providing close-up shots of the mini PC's intriguing custom discrete graphics solution. Zotac's "Blackwell" gaming range has favored larger profiles, but the emergence of less potent NVIDIA GPUs has diversified the company's portfolio of current-gen cooling solutions. HKEPC's investigation of the EN275060TC's interior setup shows a compelling custom GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB card, that lacks an external power connector. A GPU-Z diagnostic indicates the utilization of a hybrid "PCIe x8 5.0 + x8 5.0" interface.

Yesterday, Chinese PC hardware press outlets covered the domestic launch of ZOTAC's ZBOX MAGNUS ONE mini PC system. This brand-new offering boasts enlarged credentials, both proportionally and technologically—the EU27507TC SKU's 8.48 liter enclosure is a definite step-up in volume when compared to a much smaller MAGNUS (EN275060TC) sibling. ZOTAC's newest candidate turns to Team Blue and Green for key desktop-grade internals. An Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor is paired up with a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB graphics card. Previously, the Singaporean manufacturer's engineering team managed to bung a discrete GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB card into the other ZBOX MAGNUS model's tiny 2.65 L case.

According to a MyDrivers article, the ZBOX MAGNUS ONE EU27507TC is classed as a high-performance edge computing product. Additionally, it is advertised as the "world's smallest complete system equipped with a desktop-grade GeForce 5070 Ti GPU." An "ingenious" internal structural design grants enough clearance for a (likely) custom profile mid-level "Blackwell" gaming card. In addition, a 650 W Platinum-rated power supply unit is squeezed into the capable package. ITHome has stumbled upon a JD.com listing, bearing a wince-inducing 20,999 Yuan price tag (~$2970 USD). Due to the barebones nature of ZOTAC's MAGNUS ecosystem, customers are expected to provide their own DDR5 RAM (up to 96 GB, across two CSODIMM slots) and SSD storage.

ZOTAC has introduced its anime-inspired "Apocalypse" graphics cards to the U.S. market, offering the GeForce RTX 5080 Apocalypse OC and the RTX 5070 Ti Apocalypse OC through Newegg. These models are priced at $1,249 and $849, respectively, which is $249 and $100 above NVIDIA's reference pricing. Initially launched as a China-focused product earlier this year, the series is now available domestically, eliminating the need for American buyers to rely on imports or third-party resellers. The U.S. versions maintain the distinctive visual style that gained attention overseas, featuring a white outer shell, insect-wing inspired patterns, and a circular ARGB ring framing the central BladeLink fan. Both cards utilize ZOTAC's IceStorm 3.0 cooling solution, which includes a vapor chamber, a three-fan BladeLink array, and a densely packed fin stack.

Enthusiasts will appreciate features such as dual BIOS, a fan-stop utility branded FREEZE, and SPECTRA 2.0 lighting controls. ZOTAC includes adapter cables and a GPU support bracket to accommodate the triple-slot board profile, with power ratings of approximately 300 watts for the 5070 Ti and 360 watts for the 5080. Notably, Newegg's listings and part numbers match ZOTAC's global naming conventions. In the U.S., ZOTAC has limited the offering to the more practical triple-slot OC models, as opposed to the larger premium versions available in China. No European or additional regional launches have been announced. For those interested in out-of-the-box performance, the RTX 5080 Apocalypse OC boasts a boost clock of 2,617 MHz, while the 5070 Ti features a boost clock of 2,572 MHz.

In light of the recent flood of AI-ready mini PCs coming from the likes of Framework and GMKtec, Zotac has announced its own competitor, this time opting for a slightly different approach than the hyped AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU. Instead, the component company known for its mini PCs and discrete NVIDIA GPUs has equipped the Zbox Magnus (stylized as ZBOX MAGNUS) with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and up to a 20-core (8 performance, 12 efficiency cores) Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX CPU paired with dual memory slots for up to 96 GB of DDR5-6400 CSODIMM or DDR5-5600 SODIMM RAM—all in a mere 2.65-liter chassis. By default, however, the Magnus doesn't ship with RAM or storage, with a barebones variant currently listed on the company's Chinese site at a converted price of around $1,966 (13,9999 Yuan).

The product page lists the cooling solution as a heatsink and fan, but it's unclear whether there are separate heatsinks and fans for the CPU and GPU, raising questions about potential thermal throttling, given the tiny chassis. Zotac says that the Zbox Magnus is the first mini PC of its size to offer a desktop-class GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB GPU in a chassis that small, with the chassis measuring in at just 210 × 203 × 62.2 mm. That small chassis comes with the caveats that the Zbox Magnus needs a 330 W external AC-DC adapter, and that it features a soldered laptop-class CPU. Despite the small chassis, the Zbox Magnus has a decent selection of ports, with five USB Type-A ports, dual front USB Type-C ports, and dual Ethernet ports. It also comes with wall mount hardware and Wi-Fi antennae in the box.

ZOTAC Technology PTE. Limited is pleased to announce the launch of the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5090 ARCTICSTORM AIO and the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5060 Low Profile. Two models on the opposing ends of the size spectrum, the ARCTICSTORM AIO is the first ever high-end graphics card by ZOTAC GAMING to utilize a full-sized 360 mm Liquid Cooling AIO, for the ultimate cooling performance, pure speed and exceptional temperatures. The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5060 Low Profile, on the other hand, is a half-height, ultra-compact card made for Small Form Factor Enthusiasts.

The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 50 Series is powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, bringing game-changing capabilities to gamers and creators. Equipped with a massive level of AI horsepower, the RTX 50 Series enables new experiences and next-level graphics fidelity. Multiply performance with NVIDIA DLSS 4, generate images at unprecedented speed, and unleash creativity with NVIDIA Studio. Plus, access NVIDIA NIM microservices - state-of-the-art AI models that let enthusiasts and developers build AI assistants, agents, and workflows with peak performance on NIM-ready systems.

ZOTAC unveiled the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB XGAMING Black graphics card that's exclusive to the Chinese market. The company is co-branding the card with the DreamWorks movie, "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World." The card features a matte-black board design with a topside that has a holographic surface that scatters colors. The card is 32 cm in length, and 2 slots thick. It uses an aluminium fin-stack heatsink that's ventilated by three 70 mm axial airflow fans. The PCB is two-thirds the length of the card, so much of the airflow from the third and second fans flows through the heatsink and out the backplate. There's no mention of factory overclocked speeds.

ZOTAC Gaming today unveiled its GeForce RTX 5050 line of graphics cards. The series includes the RTX 5050 Solo, which is likely to be priced at the $250 NVIDIA MSRP, followed by the RTX 5050 Twin Edge, the overclocked RTX 5050 Twin Edge OC, and the RTX 5050 Twin Edge OC White Edition. The RTX 5050 Solo comes with NVIDIA reference clock speeds of 2.51 GHz boost and 20 Gbps (GDDR6 effective) memory, and uses a simple extruded aluminium heatsink with a 70 mm fan. The Twin Edge and Twin Edge OC cards come with a premium aluminium fin-stack heatsink, with two 70 mm fans to ventilate them. The regular Twin Edge sticks to reference clock speeds, while the Twin Edge OC and Twin Edge OC White Edition offer 2602 MHz boost overclocked speeds. All four models come with single 8-pin PCIe power inputs. The company didn't reveal pricing of the Twin Edge series cards.

As many will recall, Zotac's GeForce RTX 5090 Solid graphics card series has had a storied career since launching earlier this year. One example served as the progenitor of "ROPGate"—as rooted out by original TechPowerUp investigations. Despite a ban of non-D variants in the region, Zotac GeForce RTX 5090 Solid OC retail units were reportedly available to purchase—via online auctions—in China. Late last week, a disgruntled Alameda County-based customer highlighted their purchase of a very disappointing package.

Taking to the official Micro Center subreddit, member "JamesFerg650" outlined a so-called "backpack scam," and directed frustrations at the long-running computer retail store. A more measured update was shared online later on: "yesterday after work I went to the new Micro Center in Santa Clara for the soft opening. Almost four hours after clock out time, I was home with my brand new Zotac 5090. I was so happy leaving Micro Center, I went out the door without a second thought and drove home smiling and singing along to my (favorite) music. All that build up became the biggest letdown when I opened my box to find three cross-body backpacks inside rather than my 5090."

ZOTAC silently added a new MAGNUS Mini-PC to its ZBOX E-Series that features a desktop-class GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU with 16 GB of GDDR7 with 128-bit bus interface paired with Intel Core Ultra 7 255H (16 Cores, 2 GHz up to 5.1 GHz) processor. The MAGNUS came in a compact 2.65 liters small form factor measuring 210 mm x 203 mm x 62.2 mm and is equipped with 16 GB of pre-installed DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM RAM that can be expanded up to 96 GB by using DDR5-6400 CSODIMM or DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM modules. The storage consist of a 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD along with one more M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot available for expansion. The system supports up to four displays simultaneously through one HDMI 2.1 port and two DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, with the highest resolution being 7680 x 4320 at 60 Hz (120 Hz at 4K). The unit sports dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7 wireless networking (dual SMA antenna connectors available), along with Bluetooth 5.4, five USB 3.2 and two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and 8-channel audio support through HDMI.

The system comes with active cooling and an external 330 W power supply. ZOTAC offers multiple SKUs for the Magnus E-Series Mini-PC, including pre-configured models (ZBOX-EN75060TC-W4B/W5B) with Windows OS, 16 GB DDR5 memory, and 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD pre-installed, as well as a barebone model (ZBOX-EN75060TC) that allows users to configure their own memory and storage options.

We stopped by ZOTAC at the Computex 2025 show as the company previously hinted the return of the ArcticStorm Series, in the form of the ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 5090 ArcticStorm AIO. In addition to this flagship liquid cooled GeForce RTX 5090, ZOTAC is also working on a low-profile GeForce RTX 5060, which could be quite popular for small form-factor builds.

The star of the show is definitely the Gaming GeForce RTX 5090 ArcticStorm AIO graphics card, as this will be positioned as the flagship graphics card in ZOTAC's lineup, featuring an all-in-one liquid cooling with 360 mm radiator with three 120 mm RGB fans and SPECTRA 2.0 ARGB lighting, Infinity Mirror design, dual BIOS, and metal backplate. It is a 2.2-slot design and while the specifications are still not finalized, we expect a decent factory-overclock. ZOTAC is also showing off a low-profile GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, meant for SFF systems and should be compatible with most, if not all PC cases. It is a part of ZOTAC's SOLID Series lineup, takes up two slots, needs a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, has two DisplayPort and one HDMI output, and features a three-fan design. Bear in mind that ZOTAC also has full-height single-fan ITX-ready GeForce RTX 5060, but low-profile graphics cards are not that common these days.

ZOTAC made a notable impression at Computex 2025 by unveiling a range of compact gaming and AI-ready machines combining high performance and tiny footprints. The highlight was the second-generation ZOTAC Zone handheld prototype, now powered by AMD's top-tier Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU. Equipped with Radeon 890M graphics, the Zone achieves smooth 1080p gameplay on its 7-inch AMOLED display, which offers a 120 Hz refresh rate and up to 800 nits of brightness. Despite its size, the device packs either 24 GB or 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory alongside a 1 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD to ensure rapid load times and efficient multitasking.

For wireless connectivity, ZOTAC has included Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, dual USB4 ports, and a microSD slot. A built-in kickstand adds flexibility to handheld play, and Hall-effect joysticks, precise triggers, and twin trackpads provide a control scheme designed for accuracy. A 48.5 Wh battery that should support extended gaming sessions is powering all this. ZOTAC also previewed its Manjaro Linux distribution on the Zone, featuring a dedicated handheld interface and Wine-based compatibility for Windows titles.

ZOTAC is excited to announce that our premiere products have been affirmed with the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, once again reaffirming our commitment to feature innovation and hardware design that subverts convention and push the limit. In this article, we will introduce our award-winning products, and invite our product design team to provide further insight on the design process.

For ZOTAC GAMING's 50 Series GPUs, our design team have gone above and beyond in making this iteration of GeForce RTX graphics cards stylish, elegant, and definitely robust. Our Product Design & Development Manager, Surf Wong, has this to say on the design of our newest series: "With the 50 Series GPUs, we had the idea to lean in on the aesthetics of modern PC cases," he commented. "Seeing that more and more brands are coming up with fish-tank cases and other sleek designs for the purpose of displaying the internals, we thought, "why not design something that will match and make it even the centerpiece of the PC?"
