It’s nice to see how asus has improved their design in order to accommodate the newer, faster card. With the new radiator design, it has allowed for more room of overclocking to allow gamers to push every FPS they hope for. Of course, every card is slightly different, where some are able to overclock at a higher frequency with lower voltage, thus hitting the silicon lottery.

The metal backplate is also a vital piece in the card, where it prevents sagging of cards as seen in high end card, which tend to weigh heavier and cause a sag after a period of time.

I was curious to know what’s the difference between the 6pin power connector vs the 8 pin connector. Turns out that the 8 pin pcie connectors are able to support more power, which allows more headroom to overclock.

Lastly, the RGB header is an added bonus that we gamers wish for, to have synchronized blink blink effect while we game, especially in the dark where the rgb lighting really stands out!

the RGB can sync with Asus mobos that support RGB as well :s12:
