The ZOTAC® GeForce® GTS 450 ZONE® Edition takes the award-winning GeForce® GTS 450 graphics processor with 192 high-performance shaders and passively cools it using a ZOTAC®-exclusive dual-slot fan-less cooling system that features copper heat-pipes and aluminum fins to keep the graphics processor cool while operating silently.
