New ASUS Radeon HD 7950 DirectCU II is Smaller but Just as Strong




ASUS didn't see the need to shout from the rooftops that it had revised the Radeon HD 7950 DirectCU II graphics adapter, but the folks at VR-Zone spotted the change anyway.

The company did not make any major modifications to the performance specs. Indeed, it kept them the same as it refined the physical layout. What it did was to make the PCB (printed circuit board) and the cooler a bit shorter and overall more adept at driving temperatures lower. Granted, the display output configurations had to be modified somewhat, but in a good way. While the original design had a couple of mini-DisplayPorts, one HDMI and one dual-link DVI, the new one has two dual-link DVI outputs, HDMI and a standard-size DisplayPort 1.2.

For those who want more specifics, the new cooler supposedly has six heatpipes (five originally) and a secondary heatsink on the memory chips. Go here to learn the rest of the specs. The price should stay unchanged ($499.99 / 379 Euro, give or take).
