    A Great Choice for PC Gaming and Small Form Factor PCs
    The ASUS HD 7790 DirectCU II OC delivers a great gaming experience at 1080P resolutions while offering terrific compute and multimedia performance thanks to a 1075MHz clocked AMD Radeon™ HD 7790 GPU and 6.4GHz 1GB of GDDR5 video memory. With its very attractive price point, it offers solid performance in all current and upcoming PC games, while maintaining modest power requirements with twin 6-pin power connectors.

    Thanks to its proprietary thermal design, the HD 7790 DirectCU II offers considerable overclocking overhead that can be exploited with the exclusive ASUS GPU Tweak utility. GPU Tweak makes it easy to increase core and memory speeds, change voltages, regulate fan speeds, and create individual profiles for different games.

    ASUS goes beyond reference requirements by implementing the innovative DirectCU II thermal design. It consists of dual 80mm dust proof fans specially selected for quiet operation, copper heatpipes that contact the GPU directly, and an aluminum heatsink for better heat dissipation. The HD 7790 DirectCU II runs up to 20% lower operating temperatures than typical reference designs helping to ensure reliaiblity and stability under load.
