With new DirectCU III cooler
While it might have debuted on Radeon R9 390X, that certainly did not mean that DirectCU III cooler will only be available on that graphics card as ASUS has now paired up the same cooler with GTX 980 Ti, on the ASUS GTX 980 Ti Strix graphics card.
Based on a custom PCB with 12+2-phase VRM, powered by dual 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors, ASUS' GTX 980 Ti Strix has a dual BIOS which offers two levels of performance, standard where the card is set to work at 1190MHz for the GPU base and 1291MHz for the GPU Boost clocks and OC mode, which pushed the GPU base clock up to 1216MHz and GPU Boost clock up to 1317MHz. For reference sake, the stock GTX 980 Ti works at 1000MHz for the GPU base and 1076MHz for the GPU Boost clocks.
The ASUS GTX 980 Ti Strix also comes equipped with 6GB of GDDR5 memory overcloked to 7200MHz and paired up with a 384-bit memory interface.
The main feature of the ASUS GTX 980 Ti Strix, apart from hefty factory-overclock, is definitely the new DirectCU III cooler with three triple wing-blade 100mm fans and hefty heatsink with two 10mm nickel-plated copper heatpipes. Bear in mind that due to a custom PCB and rather large DirectCU III cooler, the ASUS GTX 980 Ti Strix is slightly taller than your standard GTX 980 Ti graphics card and also comes with a backplate. It also comes with the Strix LED logo with pulsating lighting effect.
According to ASUS, the DirectCU III cooler makes the GTX 980 Ti Strix 30 percent cooler and three times less noisy compared to the reference graphics card and it also has a 0dB mode where the fan does not spin up until the GPU hits certain temperature. It also delivers up to 24% faster gaming performance in The Witcher 3 game compared to reference models, mostly thanks to it high factory-overclock.
The ASUS GTX 980 Ti Strix is also one of the first ASUS graphics cards made with Auto-Extreme technology and comes with Super Alloy Power II components.
While we do not yet have the precise price of the ASUS GTX 980 Ti Strix graphics card, ASUS has informed us that it should be available as of this month, so we will keep an eye on popular retailers/e-tailers for the price.
