Continuing on the success of its popular ROG MATRIX series graphics cards, ASUS today launches the ROG MATRIX HD7970 series graphics cards. Based on the AMD Radeon HD7970 GPU, the ROG MATRIX HD7970 Platinum and MATRIX HD7970 are factory overclocked at 1100MHz and 1050MHz with massive 3GB of GDDR5 memory< span style=\'mso-bookmark:_MailOriginal\'> for High resolution gameplay. It also comes preloaded with a variety of hardware-based equips with a dual-fan DirectCU II thermal design with and Digi+ VRM with 20-phase Super Alloy Power components, together with the most instant hardware overclocking tools launched to date like TweakIt, ProbeIt and Safe Mode button to give both gamers and overclockers an undeniable advantage over the competition. For those who prefer leisurely software tuning, a new GPU Tweak takes advantage of MATRIX HD 7970?s potential. It offers the world?s first quad-focus overclocking tool with GPU and memory tuning, VRM overcloking, GPU loadline calibration and fan curve adjustment. These are all staples of advanced overclocking, making it the most complete GPU Tweak yet, currently only available with MATRIX HD 7970. It keeps the user-friendly interface, so new and experienced speed demons are guaranteed results. Limited-edition MATRIX 7970 tacks on the tuning extras like it?s getting ready for a revolution. We have VGA Hotwire to make DIY hardware-level overvolting easier with a simplified connection between voltage points on the card and dedicated headers on compatible motherboards. Combined with the frequency-loving GPU, VGA Hotwire results in aggressive overvolting minus the eye-straining soldering, so MATRIX 7970 is ideal for serious overclockers. This was witnessed first-hand at the recent ROG Absolute Zero gathering, where it helped attain new world records.
