Product Description

Product Description

PC performance seekers know overvolting gets the extreme results they crave. This is why ASUS’ exclusive Voltage Tweak is so cool – it goes deep into graphics cards to supply them with more energy, so they deliver more speed and graphics-pushing. You will enjoy complete control over tweaking through the intuitive user interface – making it easy to get to 50%* gain in performance.

Asus EAH6870 is factory overclocked to perform at an incredible 915MHz, resulting in higher frame rates in games.

ASUS SmartDoctor is a group of special tools to help users make the most of their ASUS graphics cards. It monitors the Fan RPM, AGP Power Level, GPU and RAM temperature, and has a slide bar for easy manual overclocking. Furthermore, the embedded HyperDrive and SmartCooling technology can dynamically overclock and change the fan speed for better performance and convenience. With its comprehensive hardware monitoring functions it provides you with the best graphics card investment protection and best performance when overclocking.

The original SmartDoctor allows you to manually adjust both core and memory clocks to boost your graphics card performance. Now ASUS features the new HyperDrive technology that allows you to easily and dynamically change the speed of the GPU and memory to gain more power from your graphics card.

Based on ASUS DirectCU architecture, which uses copper heat pipes in direct contact with the GPU to speed up heat dissipation for over 20% cooler performance, DirectCU II takes cooling further with twin 80mm fans for doubled airflow.

The beast 3 April 2012
This is a fantastic card. Its direct cu keeps it below 40 degrees when running Saints Row 3 and dirt 3 above high settings- e.g 8x AA 8x AF and all other settings on high. The graphics are really crisp on all games and the frame rate is high e.g 50-60 ( 3.2 ghz 4 or 6 or 8 core AMD CPU will achieve this). You will need a big case... It is as long as an ATX motherboard, no jokes... I have a HAF X Plus case and had to remove some hard disk drives but that was no problem.

I am using a 550w Gx power supply
M4A87TD motherboard
X6 1055t. ( you don't really need a 6 core to game, 4 core is great)
8 gigs vengeance (corsair)
This graphics card
HAF X plus

Hope this helps oh and packaging was amazing. There was a box in a box in a box in a box.. It's a really nice box too. :)

Wow! 7 Aug 2011
By Dave
This VGA card is awesome! It eats eveything for breakfast, and then some. Amazingingly fast, graphics are superbly crisp. Colour is perfect. Very cool running, even when overclocked beyond the manufacturers default settings. A great buy!
Only one word of caution - make sure you have a large enough case to take this card (mine is a 'Cooler Master HAF-X') - it is huge.
