BUILT TUFThe TUF Gaming Radeon™ RX 6950 XT is a tenacious beast with a tough metal exterior, super-efficient cooling, and components that offer enhanced endurance. An all-metal shroud houses three powerful axial-tech fans with dual ball fan bearings and extra blades. Under the exoskeleton, a thick heatsink keeps thermals under tight control and TUF components, selected for maximum durability and performance, keep the card ahead of the pack. You asked for a mean machine... this one is ready for action.FANSBIGGER, BETTER COOLINGThis generation, our Axial-tech fan design has matured with an increased blade count on all three fans: 13 on the center fan and 11 on the auxiliary fans. The barrier rings on the side fans have been slimmed down to allow for more lateral intake and to provide better airflow through the cooling array. The center fan’s extra blades and full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the GPU heat spreader. The fan design growth is specifically optimized for a massive new heatsink that features more fins and surface area than previous iterations.FANSQUIET CUNNINGTo bolster the specialized roles of the center and auxiliary fans, the rotational direction of the center fan is reversed. This reduces air turbulence inside the cooling array for another boost to overall thermal performance. Fans will also only start spinning when the GPU temperature hits 60 Celsius and shut off when temps drop below 55 Celsius, helping to reduce noise when the system is idling or under light load.HEATSINKMAXCONTACTTo get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array, we’ve engaged MaxContact technology to polish the surface of the heat spreader and improve smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for enhanced thermal transfer.HEATSINK2.9-SLOT DESIGNThe heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the card’s large, 2.9-slot footprint.PCBTUF COMPONENTSRobust military-grade capacitors were selected for the card’s power design. They and other components are soldered to the PCB using our Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing process. Precise joints and the elimination of human error ensures each graphics card meets our rigorous specifications. To ensure flawless performance when it counts, the cards are subjected to a grueling 144-hour validation trial.DESIGNMETAL COATA machined all-aluminum shroud creates a robust outer shell and a no-nonsense industrial design and grayscale colorway fits into any build with ease.DESIGNARMORED UNDERSIDEThe underside of the card reveals further improvements. Most of the rear is swathed in a protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent. The vent allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the GPU cooler. A GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between die and heat spreader. Stainless steel is used for the I/O bracket to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. And a conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows customization of the card’s default performance profile without software.DESIGNFUNCTIONAL FRONTThe front-side RGB element can be customized to display a range of aesthetic and functional effects, and also synced with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. To fulfill the power demands of the Radeon RX 6950 XT, two 8-pin power connectors are present, along with onboard LEDs that light up if PSU PCIe power connectors are not plugged in correctly. Structural pillars of a built-in reinforced metal frame are also visible here and add a literal layer of durability.SOFTWAREGPU TWEAK IIThe ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level.

2x Fans. 2x Fun.Delivering the latest AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture experience in its purest form, the ASUS Dual Radeon™ RX 6650 XT melds performance and simplicity like no other. Leveraging advanced cooling technologies derived from flagship graphics cards, the Dual opts for substance over style, the perfect choice for a well-balanced build. Buckle up and engage cutting-edge gaming prowess.COOLINGAxial-tech Fan DesignBetter, faster, strongerTwo tried-and-true Axial-tech fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure.0dB TechnologyQuiet intelligenceAn advanced onboard controller brings fans to a standstill when the GPU core temperature is below 52 Celsius, letting you enjoy light gaming in relative silence. As temps rise past the threshold, the fans automatically start up again.Dual Ball Fan Bearings2x longer lifespanDifferent bearing types have unique pros and cons. Ball bearings excel at durability and can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs.ENGINEERINGAuto-Extreme TechnologyPrecision automated manufacturingAuto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall.Protective BackplateThat's so metal!The PCB is reinforced by an aluminum backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and protect components and trace pathways from damage.GPU BracketLocked and loadedA GPU bracket provides uniform mounting pressure and extra stability to the critical connection between die and heat spreader.Stainless Steel BracketSteel yourselfThe mounting bracket of the Dual has been beefed up with 304 Stainless Steel that is harder and more resistant to corrosion.SOFTWAREGPU Tweak IIMonitor, tweak, and tuneThe ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level.
