ASUS Launches GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC Graphics Card

ASUS has released its top of the line GeForce GTX 780 graphics card in its GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC. This card features NVIDIA’s GK110-300 core, has 2304 CUDA cores, 3 GB of GDDR5 memory and has a engine clock of 941 MHz. The card features an ASUS designed PCB and an all new DirectCU II cooling system.

ASUS engineers developed a new thermal design that revolves around a direct-GPU contact 10mm copper heatpipe, compared to traditional 8mm heatpipes. This new design contributes up to a 40% improvement in heat transfer efficiency. The cooler also utilizes a custom designed heatsink, which ensures a significantly larger heat dissipation surface area. Extensive testing guarantees the redesigned ASUS DirectCU II cooler features up to 30% lower temperatures and up to three times quieter performance under heavy loads compared to a reference GTX 780.

The proprietary CoolTech fan used on GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II cards enables 360-degree airflow that is much more effective than traditional fans at the same RPM. It consists of a hybrid blade and bearing design, with an inner radial blower and outer flower-type blades. Combined, they provide multi-directional airflow to accelerate heat removal and enable consistently cool and quiet graphics card performance.
