With their DirectCU II version ASUS shows its first high end NVIDIA graphics card with a triple slot cooler. Until today only Gainward with their GLH series (Goes Like Hell) was known for their huge triple slot coolers but now also ASUS has such a monster in its portfolio. But overworking only the cooler would have been too easy. ASUS provided this card also with their own power design which always is an indicator for good overclockability.
We'd like to thank ASUS for providing us with the testsample.

On the following pages we will show you the strenghts and weaknesses of the ASUS GTX 580 DirectCUII.
