A Closer Look


The design of this graphics card is going to look familiar to anyone who is a fan of ASUS hardware. The huge heatsink design is some indication that this is a factory overclocked card and should deliver impressive cooling performance. Of course, that big cooler will help deal with the overclocking performance too.

Using a three fan design, as well as an oversized heat sink, it should have no trouble taming the latest Radeon chipset. Of course, there’s also a fantastic looking cooler design, with lots of aggressive lines, and integrated RGB lighting that’s sure to appeal to the gaming market.

Full Size Backplate

The back of the card is treated with a full-size backplate. Again, this features some of those stylistic lines and shapes to match up with the rest of the aesthetics of the card.

While it’s not going to make the card perform any faster, one of my favourite features is the owl eye logo towards the rear of the card. Of course, it comes with built-in RGB lighting too, so the card looks great from above and below, regardless of which orientation you have it installed in your chassis.

Display Connections

Connectivity on this graphics card is good too, with a DVI Port, two DisplayPort connectors, and two HDMI connectors. I’m quite happy to see two HDMI ports, as most new graphics card only have one, and this will make it much easier for those hooking up a VR headset, which typically use HDMI.

We already know the AMD Vega 64 graphics cards are quite power hungry, so it comes as no surprise that on a factory overclocked model such as this it will require two 8 pin power connectors. Hopefully, in our benchmarks will see all that power turned into some impressive performance.

This card also features ASUS fan connect. By using these headers you can hook some of your system fans directly to the graphics card. This is a clever little feature, as instead of the graphics card spinning its own fans when it’s hungry for air, it can spin up the connected chassis fans and deliver more fresh air to cool the graphics card.
