KEY POINTS

Singapore (22nd January,
2015) — ASUS today
announced Strix GTX 960, an all-new gaming graphics card packed with exclusive
ASUS technologies, including DirectCU II for cooler, quieter and faster
performance for incredible action gaming, and 0dB fan technology for totally-silent
light gameplay.

The new card features feature exclusive ASUS Super
Alloy Power components for enhanced durability and cooling, and GPU Tweak with
XSplit Gamecaster for overclocking and online streaming that’s as simple as it
is flexible. Strix GTX 960 comes equipped with a DisplayPort interface to
support connections up to 4K/UHD (ultra-high definition) resolution.

Strix GTX 960 is factory-overclocked at 1291 MHz
and has a 1317 MHz boost clock speed in OC Mode that delivers stunning gaming
performance. Strix GTX 960 provides 12% faster gameplay in Assassin’s Creed®
Unity and Battlefield 4™, and runs the 3DMark 11 (Extreme) benchmark
at 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution 6.5% faster than reference designs. It is fitted
with 2 GB of high-speed GDDR5 video memory that races along at boosted speeds
of up to 7200MHz.

Enjoy performance 30% cooler and 3X quieter than
reference

Strix GTX 960 comes with the ASUS-exclusive
DirectCU II cooling technology that provides 220% more heat dissipation,
resulting in performance that is 30% cooler and 3X quieter than reference for
incredible stability and very low noise during intense gaming sessions.

Strix ups the ante even more with 0dB fan
technology that lets players enjoy light gaming in complete silence, due to a
thermal design that is able to keep GPU temperatures below a set level, when
the fan stops completely.

Enhancing cooling even further, Strix GTX 960
has a strong, rigid backplate that helps dissipate heat quickly and provides an
extra measure of protection against card damage.

Power up for the win with 5-phase Super Alloy
Power

Strix GTX
960 has a 5-phase power design that enhances energy efficiency by 15%, widens
voltage modulation tolerance, and improves overall stability and longevity by
2.5X compared to reference designs. Strix GTX 960 uses a single 6-pin power
connecter for clean, hassle-free cable management and has a convenient
connection indicator LED to ensure successful plug-in.

Real-time monitoring and control with GPU
Tweak

Strix GTX 960
comes with GPU Tweak, an exclusive ASUS tool that enables users to squeeze the
very best performance from their graphics card. GPU Tweak provides the ability
to finely control GPU speeds, voltages and video memory clock speeds in real
time, so overclocking is easy and can be carried out with high confidence.

GPU Tweak
also includes a customized version of the XSplit Gamecaster streaming tool and
a free one-year free XSplit Premium license.[1] XSplit
Gamecaster lets users record and share on-screen action over the internet in
real time, meaning others can watch live as games are played. Gamers can also
easily monitor system stats, such as frame rate, CPU load, temperature, and more,
while they play, as well as modify performance settings with a simple click of
the GPU Tweak button.
