Perfect balance of 28nm power with cool and quiet performance

• DirectCU II achieves 20% lower temps and 6X greater airflow than reference design.
• OC-selected 975 MHz core, 50MHz higher than reference for smoother gaming.
• Premium alloys in power delivery components defeat heat for cards that run 15% faster and last 2.5 times longer than reference.
• GPU Tweak helps you modify clock speeds, voltages, fan performance and more, all via an intuitive interface.

The ASUS R9 270 DirectCU II, a new graphics card powered by the latest AMD Radeon™ R9 270 graphics-processing unit (GPU). R9 270 is equipped with loads of exclusive ASUS technologies and tools including DirectCU II for 20%-cooler and three-times (3X) quieter gaming performance, Super Alloy Power components for vastly improved longevity and GPU Tweak, an easy-to-use software tool that allows users to squeeze more performance out of the GPU. As an ASUS overclocked-edition card, R9 270 is overclocked to perform faster than reference -- notching up a remarkable a 975MHz core speed and reaching the 104% level in 3DMark.

DirectCU II: 20% cooler and 3X quieter

Flattened copper heatpipes make direct contact with GPU surfaces so heat is dissipated more efficiently, delivering 20% cooler, 3X quieter performance and 6X greater airflow than reference. *Equivalent to 14dB and performance varies depending on system configuration

975 MHz Boost Clock

975 MHz Boost clock for better performance and outstanding gaming experience.

Super Alloy Power: Enhanced durability and cooling

Exclusively-formulated alloy components boost performance by reducing power loss, enhancing durability, and achieving cooler operation. Choke concrete cores eliminate buzzing sound under full load while capacitors assure a 50,000-hour lifespan: equivalent to 2.5 times longer than traditional capacitors.
