By Nathan Kirsch

ASUS recently announced their latest addition in its Fermi-based high-performance DirectX 11 graphics cards the ENGTS450 DIRECTCU Series. The companies ENGT450 graphics cards featuring NVIDIAs latest GeForce 400 GPU design (GF106) that delivers DX11 graphics plus support for exciting technologies like NVIDIA 3D Vision, PhysX and CUDA and enhanced tessellation. The ASUS ENGTS450 DirectCU TOP lineup goes further than reference solutions with a focus on quality, reliability and performance. The ASUS ENGTS450 DIRECTCU Series are available immediately with prices starting from $139. We happened to review the ASUS ENGTS450 DirectCU TOP video card when NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTS 450 series and found that it was a great card with amazing overclocking. We were able to take the core clock from 783MHz up over 1GHz with full stability with no voltage adjustments! Be sure to check out our review here.

ASUS ENGTS450 Product highlights:

  • The ASUS ENGTS450 DIRECTCU TOP/DI/1GD5 is TOP-selected and overclocked to perform at 925MHz, performing over 15% faster than reference solutions.
  • ASUS DirectCU thermal technology: Precision mounted twin DirectCU 8mm copper heatpipes are in direct contact with the GPU creating faster heat dissipation and achieving 20% cooler performance and 35% quieter operation at 21dB* (idle mode) barely audible, even in a quiet room.
  • ASUS Voltage Tweak technology allows the ENGTS450 DIRECTCU Series to overclock to the GPUs limits, potentially allowing frequencies near 1GHz. More impressive and more covenient, the bundled ASUS Smart Doctor utility alters the GPU voltage without requiring adjusted BIOS settings, or even reboot the PC. Gamers can achieve higher frame rates on-demand and without interrupting the on-screen action.
  • ASUS ENGTS450 DirectCU levels up overclocking stability with the unique POSCAP (Capacitor) to reduce power noise. In addition ASUS ENGTS450 Series pushes forward in hardware design using a more advanced 4-phase power (compared to reference 3-phase) to provide higher current flow and more stable voltage during tweaking.
  • The exclusive PCB stiffener and GPU Guard provide extra strong hold to enhance shockproof performance and prevent bending and cracking. Plus, the Fuse Protection and EMI shield deliver risk-free graphics performance
