ASUS Announces Strix R9 Fury in India

ASUS announced Strix R9 Fury, powered by the latest Radeon^™R9 Fury graphics-processing units (GPUs). It has exclusive ASUS technologies, including DirectCU III with a patented triple wing-blade 0dB fan design to deliver maximum airflow for 30%-cooler and three-times quieter performance. Strix R9 Fury also has ASUS Auto-Extreme technology with Super Alloy Power II components for premium quality and reliability, plus GPU Tweak II with XSplit Gamecaster for intuitive performance tweaking and instant gameplay streaming, the company said.

The Strix R9 Fury is equipped with ASUS-exclusive DirectCU III cooling technology, which features two 10mm direct-GPU-contact heat pipes — outperforming reference designs for gaming performance that’s up to 30% cooler. It has three fans engineered with a patented, new wing-blade design that delivers maximum airflow and static pressure over the heat sink — giving a 105% improvement over fans without wing-blades. This exclusive triple wing-blade design operates at noise levels three-times (3X) quieter than reference cards, making DirectCU III the coolest and quietest graphics-card-cooling solution available to date. Strix R9 Fury also features 0dB fan technology, which stops fan rotation completely during lighter gaming sessions — eliminating noise for undisturbed gameplay, Asus explained.

Strix R9 Fury benefits from ASUS-exclusive Auto-Extreme technology, the industry’s first 100%-automated manufacturing process that removes human fallibility from the production line for consistent perfection — making it ultra-reliable in all scenarios, from general everyday use to hardcore gaming and overclocking. It also  features Super Alloy Power II components that enhance efficiency, reduce power loss, decrease buzzing under load, and lower thermal dynamics for unsurpassed quality and reliability. Strix R9 Fury features a superior 12-phase power design compared to reference cards built with 8-phase power designs.

Redesigned with an intuitive, all-new user interface, GPU Tweak II maximizes system performance by removing redundant processes and allocating all available resources automatically. An included 1-year XSplit Gamecaster premium license — a $99 value — lets gamers easily stream or record gameplay via a convenient, in-game overlay.
