The Card

ZOTAC's GT 520 uses a compact low profile design with a detachable VGA connector which allows this card to be installed in a low-profile system with ease.


The card requires a single slot in your system.


The card has one DVI port, one full-size HDMI port and one analog VGA output. Unlike AMD's latest GPUs, the output logic design is not as flexible. On AMD cards vendors are free to combine six TMDS links into any output configuration they want (dual-link DVI consuming two links), on NVIDIA, you are limited to two active outputs.


Even though an SLI connector is not present, you can combine two of these cards in SLI, which exchanges data via the PCI-Express bus.


Here are the front and the back of the card, high-res versions are also available (front, back). If you choose to use these images for voltmods etc, please include a link back to this site or let us post your article.
