Cooling

2-Slot Design

A carefully designed shroud, heatsink, and heatpipe layout enables the two Axial-tech fans to leverage chassis side-panel ventilation, delivering thermal performance that beyond the compact size.

Axial-Tech Upgrades

Two tried-and-true Axial-tech fans feature a smaller hub facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure.

0dB Technology

To eliminate unnecessary noise, the stop mode automatically halts all fans when the GPU temperature drops below 50 degrees and power consumption is low.

Dual Ball Fan Bearings

Fan bearings come in different types, each with its own advantages. Dual ball bearings provide superior durability and can last up to twice as long as sleeve-bearing designs.

Vented Backplate

A vented backplate significantly enhance heat dissipation, helping to keep the GPU cooler during intense tasks. This additional airflow helps ensure optimal temperatures, boosting performance, longevity and stability by defending against overheating and thermal throttling.

Unmatched Reliability

ASUS GPU Guard

ASUS GPU Guard applies adhesive to secure all four corners to reduce the risk of cracks.

Protective Backplate

The PCB is reinforced by a backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and to protect components and trace pathways from damage.

Stainless Steel Bracket

The mounting bracket of the Dual has been beefed up with 304 Stainless Steel that’s harder and more resistant to corrosion.

Engineering

Dual BIOS

Do you prioritise lower core temperatures or quieter operation? Performance mode increases fan speed to keep the card running cool all the time. Quiet mode maintains the same power target and performance settings, but applies a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at medium temperatures. Want more control? Customise your experience with GPU Tweak III software for fine-tuned fan profiles and performance adjustments.

Auto−Extreme Technology

Auto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing completing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting and minimises in less environmental impact. The result is lower power consumption during manufacturing and a more reliable, high-quality product, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall.

Best PSU for the GeForce RTX 50 Series

Use the wattage calculator to estimate how much power you’ll need to fuel your rig, and then pick a compatible ROG, TUF Gaming or Prime power supply for ultimate performance.

Software

GPU Tweak III

The ASUS GPU Tweak III utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It lets you tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customisable on-screen display. Advanced fan control is also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card.
