Description

EAH6870 DC/2DI2S/1GD5

ASUS HD6870 DirectCU boosts performance with superior metal components and all-copper cooling

  • 915MHz Factory Overclocked edition
  • Super Alloy Power technology delivers 15% performance increase, 2.5 times longer lifespan and 35°C cooler operation
  • 20%* Cooler with exclusive DirectCU thermal solution
  • Up to 50%* faster clock speed with exclusive Voltage Tweak

Overclocked!

Factory overclocked to perform at 915MHz, higher than stock performance, resulting in higher frame rates in games.

DirectCU

Precision mounted DirectCU copper heatpipes in direct contact with the GPU for rapid heat dissipation - creating 20%* cooler and quiet performamce in idle.

Super Alloy Power

Super Alloy Power technology for 15% performance increase, 2.5 times longer lifespan and 35°C cooler operation.

Voltage Tweak

Full throttle overclocking with exclusive ASUS Voltage Tweak via Smart Doctor - boosting 50%* more speed, performance and satisfaction!

GPU Guard

Increases the card's strain threshold by 80%-100%, doubling its ability to withstand stress and pressures. GPU Guard prevents cracking and fracturing, even increasing drop and shock damage resistance.

Fuse Protection

Equipped with multiple sets of input fuses on the circuit board to eliminate any chance of excessive or dangerous temperature rises - leading to trouble-free and long-lasting hardware.

Dust-proof Fan

Unique fan design dissipates heat efficiently while extending a graphic card's lifespan by 25%* through increased dust and particle resistance.

EMI Shield

Reduces 66%* of electromagnetic interference both given off and received by the card - resulting in a stable signal, clearer screen display and a safer, healthier computing environment.
