The new ASUS
HD6870 DirectCU
graphics card

debuts Super Allow
Power technology that
uses a special alloy formula
in power components like
chokes, capacitors
and MOSFETs for a
15% performance
boost
*, 2.5 times longer lifespan*
and 35°C cooler operation* compared
with generic models. The card also
features Voltage Tweak overvolting for
50%* faster clock speeds and DirectCU
cooling for direct and faster heat dissipation.
 
 



New and exclusive Super Alloy Power technology on ASUS graphics cards uses a special alloy formula which is high-magnetic, heat-resistant and anti-corrosive to achieve a 15% performance boost*, 2.5 times longer lifespan* and 35°C cooler operation*.

 
     







During overclocking, the Super Hybrid Engine acts as an intelligent controller to optimize switching between high and low intensity power profiles in real time for a 15% performance boost*.
 
 







Super Alloy Choke with concrete core delivers buzz-free operation.
 







Traditional choke with hollow casing creates buzzing vibration during operation.

 
 
 



DirectCU flattened copper heat pipes directly contact the GPU core to speed up heat transmission thus effectively dissipate heat up to the heat sink – delivering a 20%* cooler performance than generic cards. Keeping card temperature low also results in quieter operations thanks to reduced fan speeds!
 
 
Exclusive ASUS Voltage Tweak technology makes the most of the increased tolerances of the ASUS HD6870 DirectCU. This overclocking interface makes it easy for users to increase voltages to the GPU core, video memory and board to raise card speeds by up to 50%* to 1372MHz - a major advantage much sought after by hardcore gamers.
