ASUS HD 6870 DirectCU 1GB Video Card Review

AMD released the original 6870 back in October and almost every video card manufacturer had reference models. It has been a while since the launch and now we are seeing manufactures come out with their own versions of the 6870, one such company is ASUS. They have sent us their HD 6870 DirectCU which features ASUS’s in house PCB design, a slight overclock up to 915 MHz and the DirectCU (direct copper) GPU cooling solution, which ASUS says will cool the GPU up to 20% better than the stock cooler. Let’s take a look at this card and see if it is perfect for your gaming needs. Special thanks to ASUS for providing us with the HD 6870 DirectCU 1GB Video Card to review. The HD 6870 comes in ASUS’s retail packaging. On the front of the package there is large Voltage Tweak logo, which will get into later in the review. There are also some other features listed on the front. On the back there is a list of features and an explanation of some of those features. Opening the box up inside you will find a box of accessories and the card itself. With everything taken out you have the HD 6870 card, driver CD’s, CrossFire bridge, DVI to VGA adapter, DVI to HDMI adapter and a PCI-E power cable.

ASUS EAH6870 DirectCU Review

AMD has been expanding their 6000 series offerings with a growing list of high and midrange cards, the same can be said for their partners. ASUS has released several versions of the 6870 with a new high performance model dubbed DirectCU. This is a custom direct-contact heat pipe cooler for better heat dissipation combined with ASUS Super Alloy Power components that provide a 15% performance increase and longer life/cooler operation. The components include MOS, chokes, capacitors, and a hybrid engine. The fan design is dust- and particle-proof thus expanding its lifespan by a claimed 25%. This card design also comes equipped with GPU Guard, a full length backplate that stiffens and protects the video card from awkward pressures caused by the cooling system and sagging caused by installation, and also increases damage resistance to drops and shocks. Another safeguard are thermal fuses designed to protect the card from damage if the temperatures get out of hand. GPU core voltage is also adjustable which should allow end users to achieve a solid overclock. With all of these features, it is no surprise that this 6870 is already factory overclocked as well! The front of the box is definitely AMD colored.
