The HD 7970 Direct CU II is a tiny bit shorter than Asus’ HD 7950 at 11 inches. It is still colossal and feels heavier too. It uses the same Direct CU II cooler in which the heat pipes come in direct contact with the GPU for better heat dissipation. The two large fans move enough air while staying whisper quite. Asus has pushed the core speed to 1 GHz which can be further increased using the bundled GPU Tweak software. The card packs 3 GB of GDDR5 memory . the VGA hotwire feature works in conjunction with their Rampage IV Extreme motherboard which supports the same. This allows you to directly control the voltages and clock speed by via the leads on the GPU. All this can be monitored in real time either through the BIOS, OC key or their TurboV EVO utility.
The second exclusive feature is the DIGI+ VRM, which is a similar digital power regulation system used on their sandy bridge motherboards which consists of a 12-phase power and super Alloy components such as capacitors and chokes that are designed to withstand high voltage and temperature for more stability and longer lifespan even at extreme overclocks.
Performance is certainly up there and it even beats the GTX 580 in all DX11 titles. This does come at a price of a whopping Rs 36,000.
