Game Faster. Quieter. Cooler.*

The card runs up to 20% cooler and up to three times (3x) quieter than reference designs and benefits from DIGI+, an exclusive voltage-regulation module (VRM) for incredible stability and reduced noise. GPU Tweak teases maximum performance from the GPU and users to live stream their enhanced gameplay. R9280 DirectCU II supports resolutions up to 2560 x 1600.

DirectCU II: 20% cooler and 3X* quieter

Exclusive DirectCU II thermal design includes a direct-GPU contact 10mm copper heatpipe and 220% larger dissipation area to boost heat removal efficiency. It performs 20% cooler and 3X quieter than reference. *Equivalent to 14dB and performance varies depending on system configuration

CoolTech Fan: Hybrid design for multi-directional cooling

Proprietary CoolTech fan consists of a hybrid blade and bearing design, with inner radial blower and outer flower-type blades. These provide multi-directional airflow to accelerate heat removal and enable highly stable graphics performance.

DIGI+ VRM with Super Alloy Power: 30% less power noise and 2.5X greater durability

Acclaimed DIGI+ VRM has been applied via a 12-phase power design that uses digital voltage regulators to minimize power noise by 30%, enhance power efficiency by 15%, widen voltage modulation tolerance, and improve overall stability and longevity by 2.5 times over reference.
