Asus geforce gtx 770 drivers4/6/2024 ![]() Not every manufacturer includes these as standard so it is a nice touch. There’s a backplate that comes with this card as standard which aids to dissipate the heat as well as keep the card ridged. Either way, here’s the ASUS GTX 770 DirectCU II OC in all of its glory. There’s only so much you can do with a cooler design such as this one and I feel that each manufacturer should be within a margin of error with their coolers but we all know that isn’t usually the case. This is the first actual top-end card from ASUS that I’ve had the pleasure of playing with but if previous experience is anything to go by, this dual fan design ought to fare very well. It looks good but it does more than that, it also cools well too. The DirectCU II cooler hasn’t changed much in recent years and it has become a trademark for the ASUS GPUs. ASUS have made sure that their card(s) will get to you safely. It’s packed in between a massive layer of foam which should ensure that it is not going to be damaged in any way, shape or form whilst it is on its way from the factory to wherever it is destined. Removing the accessories box and the foam reveals the GPU. To the right is a bit of foam to make up for the lack of space used by the other box. Opening up the box reveals another smaller box inside which houses the accessories. However, this is a good thing as good first impressions count and I would expect no less of ASUS. The rest of the box is black and it feels as if it is well made, for a box. All it has is the ASUS name in the centre which is in gold and it has their slogan underneath. Opening up the outer box reveals another box which the GPU and the accessories inside. It briefly explains what the cooler is, the outputs the GPU has, the DIGI+ VRM power delivery as well as GPU Tweak which is software to monitor and overclock your GPU with. It is the OC edition, has 2GB of VRAM, DIGI+ VRM and GPU Tweak (software) as well as the aforementioned DirectCU II cooler.įlipping over the box reveals an entire host of details. It has three claw holes which have “ripped” their way into the box and the key features of the card are shown in big letters. The front of the box is very similar to their previous generation of graphics cards. Let’s look at the specs and then crack on.ĭVI Output : Yes x 1 (DVI-I), Yes x 1 (DVI-D) How well will this card perform? How well will it overclock? Does it have the might to stand up to the GTX 780? There’s only one real way to find out, and that is by testing it. One thing which I do like is that most GTX 770s come with aftermarket coolers out of the box rather than reference ones so that is a big plus in my books. Other than that, it is (purely in terms of spec) a glorified GTX 680. The VRAM is manufactured by Samsung too and they are faster chips. The GTX 770 is essentially a GTX 680 but rebadged and given a slight speed bump. ASUS claim that this cooler allows the card to run up to 20% cooler as well as three times quieter than the reference cooler. It’s the DirectCU II GTX 770 which sports 2GB of VRAM and the DirectCU II cooler. Today I am going to be taking a look at one of the latest ranges of ASUS graphics cards which come in the GTX 700 series family. Motherboards, graphics cards, all-in-one PCs, servers, you name it and ASUS probably do it or have something to do with it. Since then, they’ve built up a solid reputation in the business for being one of the finest manufacturers around and they have also managed to secure a large market share in virtually anything PC based. ASUS was founded in 1989 by four ex Acer employees. RRP: £330 at OverclockersUK (At time of review)ĪSUS are globally known for their products because they are manufactured with quality components and have a great warranty to back it up. ![]()
