ASUS Readies GeForce GTX 970 DirectCU Mini

[Kaapstad]

In a bid to be the first with a mini-ITX friendly graphics card based on the GeForce GTX 900 series, ASUS is giving final touches to the GeForce GTX 970 DirectCU Mini (model: GTX970-DCMOC-4GD5). At the surface, this card looks identical to the GTX 760 and GTX 670 DirectCU Mini graphics cards from the company, since it uses the same exact cooler. Under the hood is a swanky factory overclocked GeForce GTX 970 chip, with 1088 MHz core, 1228 MHz GPU Boost, and an untouched 7.00 GHz memory. The card features a solid matte back-plate. It draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. Display outputs include two dual-link DVI, and one each of HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 connectors. ASUS didn't reveal pricing or availability details.

Very dinky looking, but iirc Gigabyte already have their ITX 970 on the market. Nice to see more choice though.

These mini cards look great. Tempted by the gigabyte but i shouldn't.

Good looking little card. Backplate too

 

[BRIGGBOY81]

yeah they may have been a bit late but it certainly looks a lot nicer than the gigabyte card

Dont know why but the bigger the better imo. Maybe it feels like im getting more for my dosh lol. Can see it being ideal in mini cases however.

Still looking for a low profile replacement for the 7750 in my HTPC. Looks like I'll be waiting a little longer, but they should be able to do something considering the low power requirements of Maxwell.

Asus, just like your crazy dual-gpu solutions you are a bit late

 

[mcrustk2]

These are due to be in today and I want to grab one, in stock yet...........? )

 

[mcrustk2]

[mcrustk2]

Any updates on ETA guys?

It's hard getting stock delivered this time of year unfortunately.

You might get an update if you ask in the CS section of the forum

Any reason that you are choosing the Asus mITX version over the gigabyte or zotac?

 

[mcrustk2]

Just really fancy the ASUS design, look and cooler design, its going on a Imact VII which is externally visible so I wanted the colours/models to match. Have posted as you suggested.

Thanks!

There is a low profile 750ti which is more than twice the speed of the 7750

Any new updates on this Mini Bad Boy?
