GPU Tweak
Tweak and tune like a PRO
Overclocking is made real-time and intuitive with ASUS GPU Tweak utility. It not only allows you to optimize clock speeds, voltage and fan speeds on up to four graphics cards independently or simultaneously, you can also select between GPU Tweaks Standard or Advanced modes depending on your level of experience. On top of these exciting tools, ASUS gives you more:
Sync GPU clocks and voltages for easier overclocking
Automatically check and update driver and BIOS versions
Get detailed specs and actual card status with GPU-Z
2D/3D switcher can lock the card in 3D for higher benchmarks
Monitoring widget provides detailed multi-parameter info
GPU clock and voltage sync and Disable 2D functions are not applicable on GTX 600 cards.
Super Alloy Power
15% performance boost, 2.5 times longer lifespan, 35C cooler operation
The new and exclusive Super Alloy Power technology on ASUS graphics cards uses a special alloy formula which is highly-magnetic, heat-resistant and anti-corrosive. It delivers a more stable and quieter operation compared to the reference design – a welcome bonus sought after by performance seekers.
15% Performance Boost
During overclocking, the Super Hybrid Engine acts as an intelligent controller to switch between high and low intensity power profiles in real time for 15% performance boost*.
2.5X Longer Lifespan
Super Alloy Capacitor increases the cards lifespan to 150,000 hours which is 2.5 times longer* than traditional capacitors.
35C Cooler Operations
Super Alloy components are reinforced with special alloy formula and manufactured under high temperature and pressure to deliver stable and noise-free operation
DirectCU
Direct cooling for 20% cooler than reference
If the GPU is the heart of a graphics card, then the cooling device would be its lungs. Without it, the graphics card would not be able to "breath" smoothly, causing it to break down or even cause the entire system to fail. For ultimate cooling, ASUS DirectCU thermal technology developed the ideal heat banishing copper in exclusively designed heat pipes for direct and fast heat dissipation.
ASUS DirectCU technology
Thick copper heatpipes are accurately positioned in direct contact with the GPU surface so heat is transported and dissipated efficiently to the heatsink - achieving a 20% cooler performance than reference. Since heat is carried away faster, fans can spin at a lower speed thus resulting in quieter performance than reference.
Other brands
An extra metal plate is placed between the heatpipes and GPU, slowing down heat transfer to the heatsink. Due to temperature build-up, the fan has to spin faster, leading to louder operating noise.
