ASUS today announced GTX Titan Black, a graphics card powered by the brand-new GeForce® GTX Titan Black graphics-processing unit (GPU) clocked at 980MHz and bundled with exclusive GPU Tweak technology for advanced overclocking that’s also accessible, simple and incredibly safe.

Fitted with 6GB of super-fast GDDR5 video memory and further benefiting from NVIDIA® GPU Boost 2.0 and G-SYNC™ technologies, GTX Titan Black is a powerhouse graphics card with a stylish black heatsink design for enthusiasts who demand supercharged visuals for the very best gaming experiences.

Exclusive tuning technology to push GTX Titan Black even further

GTX Titan Black is a powerhouse card that puts supercomputer-grade graphics power in the hands of enthusiasts — and with GPU Tweak enthusiasts can push the GeForce GTX Titan Black GPU even further.

GPU Tweak is an exclusive ASUS tool that gives users real-time fine control over GPU and video-memory clock speeds and voltages, cooling-fan speeds and power-consumption thresholds, all via an intuitive interface.

Additionally, the GPU Tweak Streaming tool lets users share on-screen action over the internet in real time, so others can watch live as games are played. It’s even possible to add a title to the streaming window along with scrolling text, pictures and webcam images.

The new card also includes NVIDIA® GPU Boost 2.0, which lets users crank up the GTX Titan Black GPU’s clock speed while allowing full control over the power and temperature — delivering faster visuals for a better gaming experience.

Super-smooth cinema-quality visuals that eliminate tearing

GTX Titan Black includes full support for the latest DirectX® 11.2 standard. This enables allows on-GPU tessellation that delivers more and incredibly detailed geometry to be packed into every game scene — characters come to life with detail levels that rival blockbuster movies.

The card also has new NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ technology built in, ready for the next generation of gaming. Connect GTX Titan Black to a G-SYNC-compatible display and it will synchronize its refresh rate to the GPU’s render rate to provide stunning smoothness and ultra-fast response. The upshot for gamers is that tearing, graphics stutter and latency become a thing of the past — gaming has never felt this fluid.
