ASUS AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB ROG STRIX OC GAMING Graphics Card

Frame Crunching Colossus The ROG Strix Radeon RX 6700XT OC brings an industry leading cooling solution to high-end power performance and additional "creature" comforts. Under the hood a large heatsink is cooled by a trio of axial-tech fans whilst top-shelf capacitors chokes and MOSFETs deliver hundreds of watts at a milliseconds notice, A host of convenient features, including a Dual BIOS switch, 0dB mode, FanConnect PWM headers, and metal backplate, make this frame-crunching colossus an ideal choice for DIY builders. Powered by the all-new breakthrough RNDA2 architecture - engineered to deliver powerhouse performance to all gamers. AMD Radeon™ RX 6700 XT graphics cards deliver serious 1440p gaming and ultra-high frame rates. Get up to 40 high-performance compute units, groundbreaking AMD Infinity Cache, and up to 12GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory. Experience new levels of gaming performance with AMD Smart Access Memory technology when you pair an AMD Radeon™ RX 6700 XT graphics card with an AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series desktop processor.

Axial-Fan Technology A new generation of axial-tech fans has risen with an increased blade count across all three fans; 13 blades on the center with 11 blades on the auxillary fans, the barrier rings on the side fans have been streamlined to allow for more lateral intake to allow better airflow through the cooling array. The central fans additional blades and full-height ring boost static pressure to blast air directly onto the heat spreader, These fans have been designed specifically for a massive new heatsink that features more fins and a larger surface area than previous iterations.

Quiet Cunning To assist with the specialised roles of the three fans, the rotational direction of the center fan has been reversed in order to reduce turbulent air inside of the cooling array to give you heightened thermal performance and with fan stop technology fans will only start to spin when GPU temperature hits 60°C reducing noise and increasing fan longevity when under a light load.

ARMORED UNDERSIDEThe underside of the card reveals further improvements. Most of the rear is swathed in a protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent. This vent allows hot air to escape towards the chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the GPU cooler. An included GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between die and heat spreader. Stainless steel is used for the I/O bracket to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. And a conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows customisation of the card’s default performance profile without software.

Gnarly GrillAn impressive addressable RGB element on the front of the card can be customised with Armoury Crate to create a uniform look along with other ROG components. To fulfill the power demands of the Radeon RX 6700XT , two 8-pin power connectors are present, along with an onboard circuit that monitors PSU rail voltage. The circuit is fast enough to catch any transients that result in the rail voltage dropping too low. If that happens, a red LED will light up to indicate a power supply issue. The Strix’s reinforced metal frame is also visible here, adding an additional layer of durability.
