Asus Voltage Tweaks Radeon HD 5870 Fast up 38%



Obviously, both GPUs support Windows 7 and DirectX 11, and both are built on 40nm process technology and GDDR5 memory. Each single card can run up to three displays (that's Eyefinity for ya!), and better still, each one comes bundled with DiRT 2, a highly anticipated DirectX 11 title. If you're curious about how that "voltage tweaking" really works, here's the deal: It enables users to raise GPU voltages from 1.15V to 1.35V and from 1.088V to 1.4V respectively, boosting GPU and memory clock performance from 850 / 725 MHz to 1035 / 1050 MHz and from 4800 / 4000 MHz to 5200 / 5200 MHz respectively. Evidently Asus doesn't expect the factory overclocking tool to harm any system parts, and there's no need to mess with BIOS settings in order to make it all work. Sadly, Asus isn't coming forward with pricing just yet, but we'd expect these in stores very, very soon.
