World’s largest mainboard manufacturer, Taiwanese company ASUS has just launched a new GeForce GTX 670 video card that’s based on Nvidia’s GK104 3.5 billion transistor GPU.

The new card has the famous ASUS DirectCU II cooling system, but it comes with stock frequencies leaving the user in charge for overclocking.

Of course, when mounting such a powerful cooling system, the overclocking result are surely going to be much better than when using reference cooling, so ASUS’ new card has its place reserved on the store shelves.

The official denomination for the new model is ASUS GTX670-DC2-4GD5 and it clocks the GPU at 915 MHz with the 980 MHz boost.

It packs 4 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at the usual 6008 MHz and it is priced around the $450 (347 EUR) mark.
