Applying the exclusively designed heatpipes directly on GPU core for faster heat dissipation. Exclusive DirectCU II thermal design includes a direct-GPU contact 10mm copper heatpipe and 220% larger dissipation area to boost heat removal efficiency. It performs 20% cooler and 3X quieter than reference. CoolTech FanProprietary CoolTech fan consists of a hybrid blade and bearing design, with inner radial blower and outer flower-type blades. These provide multi-directional airflow to accelerate heat removal and enable highly stable graphics performance. DIGI+ VRM with Super Alloy PowerAcclaimed DIGI+ VRM has been applied via a 8-phase power design that uses digital voltage regulators to minimize power noise by 30%, enhance power efficiency by 15%, widen voltage modulation tolerance, and improve overall stability and longevity by 2.5 times over reference. POSCAPs to lower power noise, enhance overclocking, and improve stability far beyond standard analog designs.Real-time intuitive graphics tuningShows detailed specs and actual card status with GPU-ZSync GPU clocks and voltages for easier overclockingMonitoring widget provides real-time detailed multi-parameter info2D/3D switcher locks cards in 3D mode for higher benchmarksAutomatically checks and updates drivers and BIOS versionsStream on-screen action to the web in full HDStream online instantlyGPU Tweak streaming tool that lets you share on-screen action in real time – so others can watch live as games are played.
