The Card

We've seen the ASUS Direct CU cooler on many cards of the company, both with NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. Dimensions of the card are 22.5 x 13 cm.


Installation requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity options include two DVI ports, one HDMI port, and one DisplayPort. You may use all outputs at the same time, so triple-monitor surround gaming is possible with one card.

The GPU also includes an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 1.4a compatible, which includes HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies support.


One CrossFire connector allows you to combine up to two R9 270 cards in a CrossFire configuration.
