ASUS R9 280 DirectCU II Graphics Card Launches

Fitting the gap between R9 280X and R9 270X, the R9 280 (note that's sans-X) is AMD's performance-mainstream fighter in the graphics card market. The ASUS R9 280 DirectCU II has upgraded the stock card with its custom PCB and cooling; a dual-slot DirectCU II cooler that includes the ASUS exclusive CoolTech fan, while the Super Alloy Power hardware adds DIGI+ VRM and extremely hard-wearing POSCAP's (polymerized organic-semiconductor capacitors) to simultaneously extend the life of the card, and increase overclocking performance.
