ASUS announced a trio of DirectCu V2 series graphics cards, the Radeon HD 7950 DirectCu II V2 TOP (HD7950-DC2T-3GD5-V2), the Radeon HD 7870 DirectCu II V2 TOP (HD7870-DC2TG-2GD5-V2), and Radeon HD 7870 DirectCu II V2 (HD7870-DC2-2GD5-V2). The three cards feature slightly modified cooler and PCB designs over the originals. In case of the HD 7950 DCU2 V2, the cooler is compacted with a denser heatsink, and the PCB reduced in length. In case of the HD 7870 cards, the cooler uses a denser heatsink.
The HD 7950 DCU2 V2 TOP ships with 900 MHz core, and 5.00 GHz GDDR5-effective memory. It packs 3 GB of memory across a 384-bit wide memory interface. The HD 7870 DCU2 V2 TOP ships with 1100 MHz core, and 5.00 GHz memory, while the HD 7870 DCU2 V2 ships with 1000 MHz core and 4.80 GHz memory.

But that says a lot about what people think of these AMD cards...
They should stick to what they know; MoBo's. :cool:
OR release products that are NOT a flop. OR at least support their products.
For the record i can get better tech support from my 8 year old nephew.
I know i personally will never buy another Asus branded product after they screwed me and countless others out of our hard earned cash then told us to fock ourselves when we tried to get support/warranty. I'm speaking about the Xonar HDAV 1.3 fiasco that should have resulted in a class action lawsuit against Asus.
Almost 4 years later and 2 different cards and countless drivers/firmwares i still don't have a fully functioning HDMI audio card. All at my expense :shadedshu
Hey Asus; Tom & George specifically: GFYS :nutkick:
Maybe true about the graphic cards, but then that means they got real lucky with their GTX 670 DC2T - the only 10 ever given to a card here on TPU. :D
I don't know why ASUS don't just use the 670/660 ti cooler for everything (modified as necessary).
