ROG Poseidon GTX 780 Graphics Card Now Available in Malaysia

New graphics card with exclusive DirectCU H2O hybrid air and water cooling technology delivers 140%-cooler, 3X-quieter and 12%-faster gaming performance

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (14th February, 2014) — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the immediate availability of the ROG Poseidon GTX 780 graphics card here in Malaysia. The new graphics card is equipped with DirectCU H2O, an exclusive hybrid thermal solution that enables extremely efficient cooling by either air or water.

ROG Poseidon GTX 780 is powered by the latest NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 780 GPU (graphics-processing unit). With DirectCU H2O on board offering users the unique ability to cool either by air or water, ROG Poseidon GTX 780 achieves running temperatures that are up to 24°C lower than reference designs — that’s up to 140% cooler  for gaming performance that’s up to 12% faster in both Assassin’s Creed® IV: Black FlagTM and BattleField 4TM.

ROG Poseidon GTX 780 is also loaded with ROG technologies and innovations, including dust-proof fans for increased card longevity, die-cast thermal armor for improved cooling in the crucial MOSFET area, DIGI+ voltage-regulation modules (VRMs) with black metallic capacitors power design for incredible stability and reduced noise. The new card also comes with GPU Tweak, an easy-to-use software that squeezes maximum performance from the GPUs — real-time graphics tuning and live streaming has never been this easy.

Exclusive DirectCU H2O technology for up to 140%-cooler and 3X quieter performance
ROG Poseidon GTX 780 is fitted with exclusive DirectCU H2O technology, which employs a combined air and water channel to provide complete flexibility for the user — and ultra-efficient cooling for the graphics cards.

A custom vapor chamber is in direct contact with the card’s GPU for faster heat dispersal, while copper heat-pipes and extended cooling fins further transfer heat out and away from the card to keep it running cool. With water cooling, Poseidon GTX 780 achieves up to 24°C-lower running temperatures than reference designs — keeping the GPU cooler when using GPU Boost 2.0. With air cooling, ROG Poseidon GTX 780 achieves up to 7°C-lower running temperatures than reference.

What’s more, with standard G¼-inch threaded fittings, ROG Poseidon GTX 780 easily accommodate existing cooling equipment – so users can get going with water cooling right away.

The new card features dust-proof fans that deliver cooler, quieter operation and extend lifespan — ROG Poseidon GTX 780’s increased resistance to dust and other particulates mean that the card will remain working for up to 25% longer than reference designs.

Thoughtful power design that’s built to last
ASUS engineers have designed ROG Poseidon GTX 780 to just keep on going. The card includes exclusive DIGI+ VRM with Super Alloy Power technology. Black metallic solid-state capacitors,10-phase Super Alloy Power concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs all withstand much greater stress and heat due to the application of specially-formulated materials — increasing reliability and overall card lifespan up to five times (5X). DIGI+ VRM delivers digital voltage regulation that ensures ample room for experimental performance tuning — to levels unmatched by other graphics cards.

ROG Poseidon GTX 780 also benefits from a tough back-plate that’s made from an aluminum alloy and a unique die-cast thermal armor with thermal pads — preventing bending and further improving cooling in the crucial MOSFET and memory areas.

Immense gaming power that bathes in an awesome glow
ROG Poseidon GTX 780 includes GPU Tweak, an exclusive tuning tool that allows quick, simple and safe control over video-memory clock speeds, cooling-fan speeds and power-consumption thresholds — allowing the card’s GPU to be pushed to its limits.

As well, the GPU Tweak Streaming tool lets users share on-screen action over the internet in real time — so others can watch live as games are played. It’s even possible to add a title to the streaming window along with scrolling text, pictures and webcam images.

On top of this ability to unleash incredible power, ROG Poseidon GTX 780 also looks amazing, with a gorgeous LED light that glows a glorious red and pulsates majestically when the cards are active — a stunning reminder of awesome power at work.
