Hi there

ASUS is proud to introduce the new ASUS ENGTX580 DCII to all our users. Using the unique ASUS DirectCU II Cooler the airflow is doubled and the noise level is greatly reduced by using flattened copper heat pipes which directly contact the GPU core to speed up heat dissipation for a 20%* cooler performance compared to reference. Keeping the card temperatures low also results in quieter operations thanks to reduced fan speeds!

The card also boasts Super Alloy Power which can create a 15% performance increase, 2.5 longer product life span and a 35?C cooler operation. In addition to this, the engine clock runs at a Pre Overclocked 782MHz (reference 772MHz), allowing users to enjoy high speed and an unprecedented gaming experience. Super Alloy Power is a special blend of elements formed using an ASUS exclusive formula, under extreme pressure and temperatures. The metals are highly-magnetic, heat-resistant and anti-corrosive used to reduce power loss, enhance durability and achieve cooler operation.

Super Hybrid Engine is an intelligent power consumption optimizer that switches between high- and low-intensity power profiles in real-time. This in turn can provide up to 15% improved performance. Furthermore the GTX580 offers a SAP CAP; this is back-to-back with the GPU to provide most efficient power supply for increased stable overclocking of up to 28%.

With exclusive Voltage Tweak technology also being a key feature of this product, the ENGTX580 DCII/2DIS/1536MD5 covers users for every possible over-clocking and over-volting scenario. With the complete package offered by this card users can easily boost their performance by up to 50%!

yer right would like to see some one fit 3 off them on one board

This motherboard can take 3 of them if you have a large enough case for the bottom slot:



My motherboard can take two with a soundcard inbetween.
 
What you get for the little extra price actually seems like a good deal! For a £400 gfx card 6% more in price gets you nice improvements. :)
 
"2.5 times longer product lifespan and 350C cooler operation."

Wowzers , 350 cooler operation and here is me thinking absolute zero was a low as u could go

Indeed Lurkio, I wonder if they have a patent on this technology... First we have to worry about extreme heat from the Nvidia series, now it seems they're too cold, can't they get it right? :D
 
I doesn't seem that the factory oc has done any good at it.
For a moment looked impressive, however a Palit goes for around £370, and can't see how £50 can be justified.

That's 50% of the money needed for 3d vision
