The ASUS HD6870 DirectCU graphics card brings a very refined aspect to video cards. In addition to the Radeon HD 6870 GPU overclocked to 915MHz, the ASUS HD6870 DirectCU brings a slew of ASUS exclusive features and technologies. Naturally, the card is fitted with ASUS’ DirectCU cooling system, complete with three direct contact copper heat pipes and aluminum fin array, dust repellant shroud and variable speed fan. Under the shroud, you will find ASUS’ exclusive Super Alloy design featuring the highest quality capacitors, MOSFETs and chokes for improved performance, lower heat and longer life. It also needs to be noted that the stronger nature of Super Alloy technology certainly helps in overclocking, especially with the HD6870 DirectCU’s unlocked voltage in the BIOS. To aid in overclocking ASUS includes their Smart Doctor software to assist you in easily and safely overclocking your GPU. The HD6870 DirectCU implements an electronics design that ASUS has dubbed “Super Alloy Power”. Developed by ASUS, this technology uses highly magnetic, heat resistant super alloy materials in capacitors, chokes and MOSFETs allowing for greater durability, performance and lowered temperatures. ASUS has been able to achieve 15% performance increases and 35% temperature drops through this technology. This type of high quality components also plays a large part in the HD6870 DirectCU’s ability to up GPU voltage and still maintain cooler temperatures. The HD6870 DirectCU’s unlocked BIOS and VoltageTweak allows overvolting of the GPU for serious overclocking. Read more...
