This card has Direct CU thermal design, it utilizes direct contact copper heatpipes so heat is dissipated efficiently, delivering a 20% cooler & vastly quieter performance than reference. Acclaimed DIGI+ VRM has been applied via a power design that uses digital voltage regulators to minimize power noise by 30% & enhance power efficiency by 15%, widen the voltage modulation range, & improve overall stability & longevity by 2.5 times longer than reference.
