Asus nVidia GeForce GTX680 DirectCU II Graphics Card

• All new DirectCU thermal design utilizes five all-copper heatpipes and 20% bigger dissipation area, achieving 20% cooler and 14dB quieter performance than reference

• Acclaimed DIGI+ VRM with 10-phase Super Alloy Power technology delivers precise digital power and enhanced overclocking headroom.

• VGA Hotwire allows you to plug and solder wires on the card’s voltage regulators and accurately read and control Vcore, Vmem, and PLL voltages on a hardware level

• GPU Tweak utility helps you modify and tune boost clock, power target , and fan performance via an intuitive interface

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.

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 card’s lifespan to 150,000 hours which is 2.5 times longer* than traditional capacitors.

Overclocking is made real-time and intuitive with ASUS GPU Tweak utility.,br/>
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 Tweak’s Standard or Advanced modes depending on your level of experience
