Utilizing the EGO Engine, DiRT™ 2 sets the world of virtual rallying alight, a definite must-have for high adrenaline off-road racing on the PC.

ASUS EAH5750 FORMULA

ASUS EAH5750 FORMULA and EAH5770: Highly Efficient Cooling Solutions for up to 13% Better Heat Dissipation

Heat is the bane of all graphics cards, and the new ASUS EAH5750 FORMULA and EAH5770 are designed specifically to deliver highly efficient cooling without compromising performance. The design of the ASUS EAH5750 FORMULA incorporates the aerodynamic properties of a Formula One® racing car, increasing airflow volume by 7% and also diverting heat away from the GPU and other critical components. A heatsink boasting ASUS' proprietary Micro Surface Treatment improves heat dissipation by up to 14%*, while a fan sporting a unique dust-proof design provides cooling for up to 10,000 hours longer than conventional fans. The result is an improvement in heat dissipation by 13% compared to other reference design boards*.

In addition to the innovative cooling solutions found on the ASUS EAH5750 FORMULA, the ASUS EAH5770/2DI/1GD5 sports a specially designed fansink that includes a tuning-fork shaped heatsink to increase the heat dissipation surface area by 22%*. The heatsink features a 3.3oz copper rod which is capable of absorbing and dispersing the immense heat generated by graphics cards within a very short amount of time. On top of the unprecedented cooling capacity, the fansink is also 15dB quieter than generic designed fansinks-catering to users who require maximum cooling without excessive fan rotation noise*.

Designed for Intuitive and Effortless Overclocking and Peace of Mind

The ASUS EAH5750 FORMULA and EAH5770/2DI/1GD5 graphics cards feature Xtreme Design, which includes GamerOSD and SmartDoctor applications for real-time overclocking. These cards are also protected against electromagnetic interference and overcurrent by an EMI Shield and Fuse Protection respectively. They are also the first in the world to feature GPU Guard which offers twice the reinforcement against cracks, forging a more robust connection between the graphics card and the PCB.
