ASUS has launched Strix R9 280 and Strix GTX 780, two new graphics cards powered
by the RadeonTMR9 280 and GeForce® GTXTM
780graphics-processing units (GPUs) and designed for players who like to game
on the edge of instinct.About the launch of the new Strix series of products,
Mr. Vinay Shetty – Country Head – Component Business, ASUS (India) said, “Taken from the ancient Roman and Greek word
for owl, Strixis the brand name for the stunning new ASUS gaming-gear series.
Strixmeans the keenest hearing and sharpest eyesight and the ability to feel
the environment, enabling the player to detect and react
to even the slightest movement. The Strix brand will this year expand to
include a wide variety of gaming gear, including exceptionally-agile mice,
super-cool gaming graphics cards, boundary-pushing keyboards and awesome gaming
headsets. The first products are these graphics cards.”
The new Strix R9 280 and Strix GTX 780
graphics cards are packed with exclusive ASUS technologies, including DirectCU
II that delivers cooler, quieter and faster performance for high-end action gaming
and 0dB-cooling technology for lighter-gameplay sessions in total silence. The
cards also feature exclusive ASUS DIGI+ voltage regulation modules (VRMs) for
superb efficiency and stability, and GPU Tweak for overclocking and online
streaming that’s as simple as it is flexible.Strix R9 280 is fitted with 3GB of
high-speed GDDR5 video memory and races along up to 980MHz, and Strix GTX 780
benefits from a boosted clock speed of 941MHz supported by 6GB of GDDR5 memory.
Strix R9 280 and Strix GTX 780
introduce an all-new and exclusive fan design that allows gamers to enjoy some
of the latest games titles in absolute silent from their graphics card. When
playing at high-definition (HD) resolutions of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels, and in
environmental temperatures of up to 65°C, the new Strix graphics automatically
stop their fans — allowing gamers to play in absolute (0dB) silence.
Strix R9 280 and Strix GTX 780 are also
equipped with exclusive DirectCU II thermal technology. This innovative design puts
highly-conductive 10mm copper cooling pipes in direct contact with a card’s
GPU, so heat is dissipated quickly and with extreme efficiency. The new cards
also benefit from a heat-sink that delivers a heat-dissipation area that’s 220%
larger than reference, allowingStrix R9 280 and Strix GTX 780 to perform 20%
cooler and run three-times (3X) quieter than reference for ultra-stable
hardcore gaming with very low noise.
The 6GB Strix GTX 780 card powers some
of the latest games much faster than reference. Deep Silver’s Metro: Last Night
runs 7.9% quicker than reference, while Battlefield 4™ flies ahead at 15%
faster.
Ultra-smooth power supply for ultra-stable performance
Strix R9 280 and Strix GTX 780 both include DIGI+ VRM technology,
an ASUS-exclusive 10-phase power design that reduces power noise by 30% and
enhances energy efficiency by 15%, compared to reference designs.DIGI+ VRM also
widens voltage-modulation tolerance and improves overall stability and
longevity by two-and-a-half times (2.5X) above reference.DIGI+ VRM is built
with extremely hard-wearing polymerized organic-semiconductor capacitors
(POSCAPs) — so these are graphics cards that are designed to last.
Exclusive graphics tuning and live
streaming with GPU Tweak
The new Strix cards come with GPU Tweak, an exclusive ASUS that
enables users to squeeze the very best performance from the new graphics cards.
These include the ability to control finely GPU speeds, voltages and
video-memory clock speeds in real time — so overclocking is both easy and can
be carried out with high confidence.
GPU Tweak also includes a streaming tool that lets users share
on-screen action over the internet in real time, meaning others can watch live
as games are played. It’s even possible to add a title to the streaming window
along with scrolling text, pictures and webcam images.
