ASUS ROG just posted this picture. Is it a new Cooler, perhaps a DirectCU3 cooler?

Whatever it might be, even if looks most likely like a new cooler... it does certainly look quite sweet! :)
 
Looks epic, really interested in seeing more

EDIT: fixed the link, hope that's okay WYP :)

What is blazing fast, keeps its cool under pressure, protected by armor, and you don't even hear it coming?

I'm gonna go with either an advanced Strix, or a Sabertooth themed card :p
 
I think they mean a backplate when they talk of armored. They won't overhaul the complete DCU series.
 
Whatever they do I hope they enable LED colour changes for the people buying their cards that have LED's on them i.e 980 Ti Matrix etc....

The day that happens will be the day I'll either think I had gone crazy or I win the lotto...and I don't play the lotto.
 
Would have through it would be a tad less red and more black. Wonder what their 980ti matrix will look like then..

I do agree with you on this Dice, although I'm not sure if you actually meant it, but I'd really like if they would go RGB LED, that would be so nice. Again, for people to choose their own color, to fit their rig. As again, not everyone has an black and red, ROG, themed build :)

Looks kinda cool, Glad they got away from that horrid owl look -

And I agree with you one again, though I thought it looked okay... but this one has a more pleasant look to it and a more neutral one in my opinion :)

I'm with you on that one and I don't understand why, maybe they have though, include stickers for you to change the colors on the thing. Not everyone is a fan of ROG theme nor uses black and red in their rig.

Would be nice like they once did on one of their previous graphics card, where it was red and black, but it also came with golden stickers for you too choose if you so wish.
Not sure which one it was though, someone will probably correct me on that one.

Although, despite the ROG theme on it, I do like the look of it and I absolutely love the 0dB feature... I absolutely loved it on the 980 Strix, it was literally silent during idle and just doing stuff on the webb etc. Nice one! :)

Wasnt a big fan of the 980 strix myself though, went through about 3 cards before I finally got a set that was of remotely acceptable quality, even then the worksmanship was subpar compared to their previous offerings.
 
Sorry dic but i couldnt dissagre with you more, that looks nasty compared to the old all black stealth design

I agree with Tripp.

Now what makes a Strix card a Strix card if they all get the same coolers anyway?

Also this makes it clear that the little line about "armour and not seeing it coming" and such by Asus on the photo was completely unrelated bullcrap
