**R9270X-DC2T-2GD5: ASUS Radeon R9 270X Direct CU II graphics cards for better high-end gaming**
- Direct CU II with precision-shaped SSU heatpipes utilizes highly-conductive copper & directly-centered GPU placement to double cooling efficiency in the same space.
- TOP-selected 1120 M Hz cores run 70 M Hz higher than reference for smoother gameplay.
- DIGI+ VRM with 8-phase Super Alloy Power delivers precise digital power for superior efficiency, reliability, & performance.
- GPU Tweak helps you modify clock speeds, voltages, fan performance & more, all via an intuitive interface. ** Reshape your gaming future: ASUS Exclusive Innovation** ** Direct CU II with SSU architecture: 20% cooler, 3X quieter** ASUS graphics card engineering leads the industry once again with the introduction of Direct CU II SSU thermal design. Comprising two "S" & one "U" shapes, the new heatpipes are precision shaped for optimal efficiency & heat transference. They are also nickel-plated to minimize oxidization, with their mid-section now placed directly over the GPU die. This design shortens heat transfer travel to lower thermal resistance & create bi-directional flow for up to twice the cooling capacity in the same space as that required by existing graphics card cooler designs. High-conductivity copper used in heatpipe formulation creates tube-like vapor chambers, moving heat to a large aluminum heatsink that features extended fins for multiple points of dissipation. The assembly is further chilled by two high performance but carefully-tuned & sound-dampened fans for faster & quieter cooling. **TOP-Selected 1120 MHz core** 1120 MHz engine clock for better performance & outstanding gaming experience **DIGI+ VRM with Super Alloy Power** 30% less power noise & 2.5X greater durability. Acclaimed DIGI+ VRM has been applied via a 8-phase power design that uses digital voltage regulators to minimize power noise by 30%, enhance power efficiency by 15%, wi
