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%!

It's got a very good cooler that's for sure! Currently have the HD6950 variant myself and it overclocks very well so I expect the GTX580 to be the same.
 
Takes up three slots all by itself so I'm guessing 3 way SLI is out of the question then? More importantly, is there a motherboard with PCI-Ex slots far apart enough to support just 2 of these in SLI?
 
God this is one hell of a nice looking card and at a similar price point to normal cards.. muchos likes :D

Nice looking? If you want nice looking see: Phantom

This GPU looks like it went on holiday to America for a few months and came back with extra baggage :p
 
Holy crap, its huge. Haven't seen a graphics card that is that fat myself, although it won't be the first.

The fact that it has a better power consumption than the 480 is also amazing.

Shame that having these in SLI is going to be hard / impossible in some cases.

I think it sucks...

Bring on the MSI lightning..

It may be fast but it looks horrific!


Nice specs chaps.. physical looks don't really bother me as I spend the majority of my time looking at my screen rather than my GPU :p
