- Top-selected 1120MHz cores run 70MHz higher than reference for smoother gameplay.
- DIGI+ VRM with 8-phase Super Alloy Power delivers precise digital power for superior efficiency, reliability, and performance.
- GPU Tweak helps you modify clock speeds, voltages, fan performance and more, all via an intuitive interface.
ASUS Exclusive Innovation

ASUS graphics card engineering leads the industry once again with the introduction of DirectCU II SSU thermal design. Comprising two "S" and one "U" shapes, the new heatpipes are precision shaped for optimal efficiency and heat transfer. They are also nickel-plated to minimize oxidization, with their mid-section now placed directly over the GPU die. This design shortens heat transfer travel to lower thermal resistance and create bi-directional flow for up to twice the cooling capacity in the same space as that required by existing graphics card cooler designs. High-conductivity copper used in heatpipe formulation creates tube-like vapor chambers, moving heat to a large aluminum heatsink that features extended fins for multiple points of dissipation. The assembly is further chilled by two high performance but carefully-tuned and sound-dampened fans for faster and quieter cooling.


Acclaimed DIGI+ VRM has been applied via an 8-phase power design that uses digital voltage regulators to minimize power noise by 30%, enhance power efficiency by 15%, widen voltage modulation tolerance, and improve overall stability and longevity by 2.5 times over the reference design.

Pros: -Good price/performance -Mantle and DX11.2 support -Great cooling and stock clock -Overclocks well -Good CF scaling and performance
Cons: -Essentially just an overclocked 7870 -Don't install drivers from the disc
Overall Review: Bought a pair of these to replace my aging pair of 5850's (also ASUS DC2T) and I'm quite happy with the boost to performance. I've gained around 50% performance over my old setup (Much better min FPS) and get great framerates in just about everything. (Rome 2 isn't great but that's not the GPU's fault) If you're in the market for a mid range card, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better option.
