DirectCU II with 10mm Heatpipe

30% cooler. 3X quieter.

An exclusive and award-winning cooling technology that puts industry-leading highly-conductive 10mm copper cooling pipes in direct contact with your Matrix card's graphics-processing unit (GPU), dissipating heat with extreme efficiency. Along with 325% larger dissipation area and patented wing-blade fan technology, DirectCU II keeps Matrix up to 30% (17°C) cooler and three times (3X) quieter than reference designs — and that means faster, distraction-free gaming for you!

Patented Wing-Blade Fan Design

Maximized airflow efficiency with 105% more air pressure

Inspired by the U.S. Air Force A-10 attack jet, ASUS' patented wing-blade fan design maximizes airflow and increases static air pressure by 105% compared to conventional fan designs. Wingtips with folded ends act as a shield to block the vortex and reduce energy loss. The fan's bigger blade size and smaller projected gap area result in maximum airflow and air pressure.

Memory Defroster

Instant defrost. Say goodbye to cold bugs.

A brand-new ASUS-exclusive technology that'll seriously excite your extreme-overclocking ambitions. This clever feature instantly defrosts your Matrix card's memory during subzero overclocking to ensure sustained stability. With a flip of a switch you can wave goodbye to cold bugs — so you can take subzero overclocking even further!

Safe Mode

One-press VBIOS reload

You can overclock with confidence thanks to Safe Mode. One tap of the Clear VBIOS button restores your Matrix's graphics card's default frequencies and voltages, so you can be as experimental as you dare!

AUTO-EXTREME Technology

Premium quality and best reliability

All ASUS graphics cards are now produced using AUTO-EXTREME Technology, an industry-first, 100% automated production process that incorporates premium materials to set a new standard of quality. AUTO-EXTREME Technology ensures consistent graphics card quality as well as improved performance and longevity. This new manufacturing process is also environmentally friendly, eliminating harsh chemicals and reducing power consumption by 50%.

DIGI+ VRM with Black Metallic Capacitors and 14-phase Super Alloy Power II

30%-less power noise and 5X-greater durability

Acclaimed DIGI+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) technology delivers 14-phase power and digital voltage regulation, while Super Alloy Power II 's 10K black-metallic capacitors, concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs all withstand much greater stress and heat. The result is an ultra-stable graphics card that's forged for extreme overclocking. You benefit from loads of headroom for experimental performance tuning without generating distracting whines and buzzes.

ROG Color-coded Load Indicator

At-a-glance GPU load level

Matrix is equipped with a gorgeous color-coded LED that changes shade to reflect the GPU's load level. Shining brightly through four resplendent color gradients, it provides a real-time visual guide to performance — and an awesome internal glow!

GPU Tweak II with XSplit Gamecaster

Tweak till your heart's content

Redesigned with an intuitive, all-new UI, GPU Tweak II makes overclocking easier and more visual than ever, while still retaining advanced options for seasoned overclockers. With one click, the new Gaming Booster function maximizes graphics performance by removing redundant processes and allocating all available resources automatically. An included 1-year XSplit Gamecaster premium license* — a $99 USD value — lets you easily stream or record gameplay via a convenient, in-game overlay. With in-game OSD, gamers can read GPU clock, temperature and VRM usage while playing the game.
