ASUS Launches GeForce GTX 680 DirectCU II before with 4GB GDDR5 in the dual slot design

 

clip_image001 The new ASUS GeForce ® GTX 680 DirectCU II graphics card is characterized by its practical design that uses only two slots. This allows the graphics card more easily integrate into desktop PCs. Above all, the gamer and overclocker community benefits from the compact GeForce ® GTX 680 DirectCU II with 4GB of GDDR5, the new model also features a huge video memory. The DirectCU II cooling system was enhanced with new and efficient SSU-shaped heatpipes. The exclusive ASUS DIGI + VRM and Super Alloy Power technology for maximum stability, durability and overclocking capabilities. Even the GeForce ® GTX 670 DirectCU II is now available with 4GB of memory.

The revised models of GeForce ® GTX 680 DirectCU II GTX 670 DirectCU II and offer a huge 4GB of GDDR5 video memory clocked at 6008 MHz, so the graphics performance in games significantly improved with high resolution. Thanks to 4GB are the graphics cards ready for WQHD (2,560 × 1,440), the resolution of the future for PC games. In addition, the size of the DirectCU II cooler was reduced so that the new GTX 680 DirectCU II is only two slots. She now fits easily in the case of most modern PCs.

The new DirectCU II cooling system is more than a compact version of DirectCU. It is based on newly developed heat pipes made of solid copper, the heating ducts of two precise S-shapes and consist of a U-shape. This particularly conductive heat pipes in the optimized design SSU are nickel-plated to prevent corrosion. The heatpipes are in direct contact to the GPU and the central location to the core a very high thermal efficiency. In this manner the distance is reduced in the heat transfer. The removal capacity has doubled thanks aluminum heat sinks with comparable or even smaller footprint. Thus, the new GeForce ® GTX 680 DirectCU II DirectCU confirm the superior performance numbers, including a 20% lower temperatures and a compared to reference cards up to three times quieter operation. DIGI + VRM and Super Alloy Power provide exceptional stability, durability and overclocking capabilities.

The digital voltage control ASUS DIGI + VRM and durable Super Alloy Power components are technical feats and core components of the new GeForce ® GTX 680 DirectCU II increase the stability, extend the lifespan compared to reference cards by a factor of 2.5 to reduce the power noise by up to 30%. In addition, the overclocking area is larger, as a 6-phase power supply allows for a greater range and ensures more safety and reliability.

GPU Tweak frees up additional power
Only graphics cards from ASUS come with GPU Tweak, a centralized, user-friendly interface that allows easy tuning options. Clocks, voltages, fan performance, power goals and game-specific profiles are defined with a few mouse clicks. GPU Tweak ensures that the graphics card when overclocking is safe and stable. The settings can be conveniently reset to undo changes.

Price and Availability
The ASUS GeForce ® GTX 680 DirectCU II 4GD5 is available now at a suggested retail price of 539, - Euros in Germany and Austria.
