Taipei, Taiwan (August 16, 2012) ― the ASUS TOP range of graphics cards continues to grow, expanding to the ASUS GeForce® GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II TOP. An ASUS GeForce® GTX 660 Ti OC version is also offered. Utilizing the latest 28nm NVIDIA® technology, the cards deliver a superior balance of features and performance, shipping factory-overclocked to 1137MHz on the TOP version and 1058MHz on the OC version. They include the 20% cooler DirectCU design, ASUS DIGI+ VRM, and Super Alloy Power for better overclocking on long-lasting, more stable products, harnessed via the user-friendly GPU Tweak tuning interface. Gamers can find new first person shooter RPG Borderlands® 2 from 2K Games and Gearbox™ Software inside the package, armed with the power to successfully venture into a new shoot and loot adventure.

Testing by ASUS engineers ensures the GeForce® GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II TOP/OC use the most durable GK104-derived 28nm GPUs to sustain higher clock speeds. The TOP version ships factory-set to 1137MHz on the core (157MHz faster than reference), while the OC model runs at 1058MHz (78MHz faster than reference). Customers gain extra performance by default in AAA releases like Borderlands® 2, plus access to overall greater tuning potential. ASUS graphics card technologies improve product performance and endurance, as DirectCU crafts a custom cooler with direct contact copper heatpipes for 20% lower temperatures. Optimized fans work at lower speeds, offering vastly quieter gaming environments. For enhanced stability, energy efficiency, and overclocking, ASUS DIGI+ VRM precision digital power delivery and six-phase Super Alloy Power components extend product lifespan and durability even under heavy workloads.
