ASUS Launches Strix R9 280 and Strix GTX 780 Graphics Cards

ASUS launched Strix R9 280 and Strix GTX 780, two new graphics cards powered by the Radeon R9 280 and GeForce GTX 780 graphics-processing units (GPUs) and designed specifically for gamers. The new Strix R9 280 and Strix GTX 780 graphics cards are loaded with 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. The cards also feature ASUS DIGI+ voltage regulation modules (VRMs) for 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 shoots up to 980MHz, and Strix GTX 780 benefits from a boosted clock speed of 941MHz supported by 6GB of GDDR5 memory. Both display cards feature 1 x DVI-D output, 1 x DVI-I output, 1 x DisplayPort output, 1 x HDMI output and PCI Express 3.0 slots.

Exclusive graphics tuning and live streaming with GPU Tweak

The new Strix cards come with GPU Tweak that allows users to pump out the very best performance from the new graphics cards. These include the ability to control 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.

The STRIX-GTX780-OC-6GD5 is priced at Rs. 44000 (excluding taxes) and STRIX-R9280-OC-3GD5 at Rs. 23000 (excluding taxes)
