ASUS has launched Strix GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards, bringing the benefits of a DirectCU II cooler with fatter, 10mm heatpipes, fan shut-off at low temps (0dB fan tech) and the usual DIGI+ VRM and Super Alloy Power upgrades inside. Both are factory overclocked to factory-overclocked at 1279MHz and 1253MHz respectively and are packed with 4GB of 7GHz GDDR5 (effective).
