Asus GTX970-DCMOC-4GD5 GeForce GTX 970 Graphic Card - 1.09 GHz Core - 1.23 GHz Boost Clock - 4 GB GDDR5 - Dual Slot Space Required

The small form factor PCs based on mini ITX motherboards are a popular choice for gamers and home users. Their compact cases are much easier to transport to LAN parties than a standard desktop PC, and stylish designs with comparatively low power requirements make them a natural choice for home theater PCs. The ASUS GeForce GTX 970 DirectCU mini is designed to maximize the potential offered by mini ITX motherboards by delivering high performance graphics. It uses an innovative DirectCU thermal design that combines a heat-spreading vapor chamber and the CoolTech fan, which uses wide-angle airflow and venting to cool critical graphics card components.Award-winning DirectCU now includes custom vapor chamber technology and the advanced 360-degree CoolTech axial fan. Even in DirectCU mini form, the proprietary design delivers up to 20% cooler temps and vastly quieter performance than reference.Exclusively-formulated alloy components boost performance by reducing power loss, enhancing durability, and achieving cooler operation. Choke concrete cores eliminate buzzing sound under full load while capacitors assure a long lifespan: equivalent to 2.5 times longer than traditional capacitors.
