Asus box artwork is instantly recognisable. Along the bottom of the box, are key selling points. The card is indeed overclocked, has 4GB of GDDR5 memory and is ‘perfect' for ITX systems.

The rear of the box offers more detail on the card configuration, including the adoption of concrete core chokes. This is said to eliminate buzzing sounds when under full load.

Not much of a bundle, just some literature on setting the card up.

The GTX 970 DirectCU Mini is only 17cm long, 12.19cm high and 4.07cm thick. Asus have included a backplate on the card to help improve appearance and cooling efficiency. It is quite heavy and we like the design, which is effective.

It is SLI capable, just like any GTX970 we have reviewed to date. The card takes all the power it needs from a single 8 pin connector.

The Asus GeForce GTX 970 DirectCU Mini  has two DVI connectors on the back (DVI-D and DVI-I), and a full sized HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort. This HDMI port will handle 4K resolutions at up to 60hz.

The cooler is very compact and actually uses a vapor chamber to help enhance the performance. The card is using high grade SAMSUNG memory chips – always good to see.

  1. Hmm You mean 3GB GDDR5 + 1GB DDR3 😉 New nV feature to cut down performance lol

  2. Oh my god would you stop with that already. Jesus fucking Christ, that’s all people talk about anymore. Hop on the 3gb bandwagon. Nobody is complaining about the titan x only having a 256 bit memory bus width, with 12 Gb of VRAM, the bottleneck doesn’t get much tighter than that.

  3. Uhm, it’s 3.5gb actually. If you’re gonna troll, at least make an effort.
