MaxContact Design. MaxContact is a special ASUS manufacturing process that effectively expands the surface area of the heat spreader that sits atop the GPU by 5%, compared to traditional designs. This improves temperatures by up to 2°C, in concert with an extensive heatsink array and powerful Axial-tech fans.

UNMATCHED RELIABILITY

ASUS GPU Guard. ASUS GPU Guard applies adhesive to secure all four corners to reduce the risk of cracks.

Protective Backplate. The PCB is reinforced by a metal backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and to protect components and trace pathways from damage.

Stainless Steel Bracket. The mounting bracket features grade 304 stainless steel, chosen for its strength and high resistance to corrosion.

ENGINEERING

Dual BIOS. Do you prioritise low core temps or low noise levels? Performance mode lets the fans spin up to keep the card running cool all the time, and Quiet mode keeps the same power target and top-end settings while offering a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at moderate temperatures.

Auto−Extreme Technology. An automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. ASUS Auto-Extreme technology reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption and a more reliable product overall.

SOFTWARE

GPU Tweak III. The ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It lets you tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customisable on-screen display. Advanced fan control is also included plus many more features to help you get the most of your graphics card.
