ASUS is one of AMD's oldest partners, and has always produced cards with their own little tweaks. Their latest HD6870 carries over the Voltage Tweak branding that we first saw on the Geforce GTX 470 and the Radeon HD5870. Unlike older Voltage Tweak cards that often come with a better cooler, the HD 6870 Voltage Tweak card uses nearly the same design as the reference card. The only difference is that ASUS put their own cooling shroud with the ASUS logo on the card. According to the marketing info on the box, the Voltage Tweak allows users to boost GPU voltage with the ASUS SmartDoctor software, to achieve up to 50% of performance gain. Let's see how far we can push the card.
